Green Drinks Group Gathers on April 4th

CRYSTAL LAKE – The public is invited to join the Green Drinks McHenry County group on April 4th from 5pm-7pm at Duke’s Alehouse & Kitchen, 110 N Main Street in Crystal Lake.

This month’s presenter is Jennifer Walling, executive director of Illinois Environmental Council, which serves as the environmental community’s eyes, ears and voice in Springfield.

Since its founding in 1975 by a group of dedicated grassroots environmentalists, IEC has sponsored issue advocacy campaigns and projects. This has allowed environmental organizations to pool their resources to create a higher profile for our issues in Springfield and Washington D.C.

Green Drinkers at last April's gathering.

Pick up a drink or order some food at the bar before coming upstairs for info and inspiration, business and pleasure. Come talk about “greening” the future with others. Must be 21 to purchase alcohol – non-alcoholic drinks are available, of course!

There will be an information table set up, and you are welcome to bring information about your green products and services each month to share.

Additional parking is available at the train station.
