72 members of the green business
community shared visions of the future and business cards by
candlelight while nibbling on sumptuous hors d'oervres in the
extraordinary lobby of Pankow’s newest
building January 24th, 2008. It was our fourth such business
event – and this one was a mixer defined.
Hugh
Groman Catering and Green
Leaf Platters created food that was as delicious as it
was eloquent in its presentation.
We held our mixer in the
lobby of the new building at 2101 Webster Street in Oakland,
a structure sculpted in large measure from recycled materials
and featuring the kind of energy and resource efficient features
that map out the future of clean green construction.
Our mixer on April 16, 2008 was SOLD OUT!
Be sure to sign up early for future Green Chamber events! |
