Green Gala: Come Out & Play! 2011
Going Green:
All cups, plates, napkins, food, etc. at this event are compostable materials. There will be labeled bins around the event for compost, recycling and landfill. Members of our Green Patrol will be there to assist you, but please do your part by reusing materials and appropriately disposing of waste to help us keep this a more sustainable event.
Last year we were successful in being a carbon neutral event thanks to generous tree sponsors at the event. Tree Sponsorships will be available again this year. We can accommodate multiple parties "chipping" in on one tree as well. We will plant these trees this fall and recognize sponsors through our new crowd-sourced tree map at www.urbanforestproject.com.
Attire:
The Green Gala is a semi-formal event. Guests are asked to wear green inspired attire. See pictures from last year's event to get inspired.
THANK YOU!
