Happy Holidays from the team at Green Meetup! We wish you and your family a happy, peaceful, and safe holiday season and a wonderful and prosperous 2010!

We also wanted to take the time to thank all of our members who have been so integral over the past year in helping move Green Meetup from an idea to a reality. We can’t believe it was only 6 months ago that we officially launched and now with 289+ member companies offering a variety of eco-friendly products and services, we know that we’re on to something good.

Thank you all and happy holidays!

Best Wishes,

The night kicked off with a complimentary happy hour sponsored by Prairie Organic Vodka and consisted of eco-conscious attendees networking and socializing, while learning about great Green Product solutions and ideas. Participating companies and NGOs in the DC area included Caplan Communications, Honest Tea, Weatherize DC, Trees ForThe Future, Veg DC and more!

After the happy hour, guests moved upstairs to the open air rooftop bar and danced the night away to tunes provided by DJ Herve and Planete Chic, while enjoying organic cocktails. It was a great night!

Hi there,

In keeping with our commitment to doing everything in our power to bring you the world’s safest, most reliable and eco-friendly goods and services, Green Meetup is happy to announce its first hiring of the fall, Ms. Caroline Motte.

Caroline has extensive experience in publishing, human resources and marketing, and completed her Master’s in Finance in June of 2008. She is currently studying International Business and Trade and divides her time between classes, her position at Green Meetup and the discovery of Washington, D.C.

Caroline brings high energy, a terrific work ethic and a serious commitment to environmental stewardship to our team. She will remain with us throughout the fall before returning to France to complete her studies and begin her professional career. Stay tuned for more updates as Caroline’s contributions to our company help spread the word about our environmentally-conscious offerings.

Green Meetup.com, a Washington DC-based company that focuses on bringing eco-friendly companies and consumers together, is looking for Green Meetup Ambassadors! We are a new start-up, but already our name is growing. We’re currently looking to build communities in a number of cities and need your help. We’ll be glad to tell you more about our business plan and ideas, but we really are looking for spokespeople, interested in helping us throw social events focused on introducing people to easy methods to green their lives. We’ve proven ourselves in Washington, and now are looking to build our network throughout the US and abroad. Interested in becoming part of something big?

This could be a very part-time position, possibly only requiring a few hours a week. It is non-paid (we’re a start-up!) but has huge opportunities for future growth.

Green Meetup.com- A new, Washington, DC based meeting place for Green Consumers, Companies, and Entrepreneurs had its official launch party Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Washington, DC — August 7th, 2009 – Over 450 people came out to the rooftop of the BLT for Green Meetup’s official launch party. Networking, socializing, learning about Green companies and products, and of course drinking complementary Square One Organic Vodka, Washingtonians pleasantly passed the summer evening. The launch party’s aim was to introduce Green Meetup; as well as its member companies, which provide Green products and solutions, and to encourage consumers to choose products and services that will help them Live Green. The event was sponsored by a variety of Green companies and partners, including local non-profit organizations such as NGO Habitat for Humanity and CarbonFund.org,

As guests enjoyed spectacular views of Washington D.C’s skyline, sipped organic drinks and listened to live music, provided by “Mother Nature’s Recipe,” they had the opportunity to listen to brief speeches by the D.C. Mayor’s District Department of the Environment’s DC Green Agenda, and Miss District of Columbia 2009, who attended the event to promote her “Let’s Talk Trash” agenda.

The event culminated with a free “Green Raffle” where more than 25 lucky winners received a variety of donated Green goods and services, from Green Meetup member companies including MAXSA Innovations, Honest Tea, EcoDiscoveries, Western States Envelope and Label, and more!

Green Meetup.com is the “one stop shop” for everything Green, from finding eco-friendly products, to checking and rating Green companies, to finding Green jobs and investment opportunities, Green Meetup.com is the consumers best resource for taking concrete steps to Living a Green Life! The company also breaches the “virtual” divide by hosting Green Meetup Events to bring viable Green services, products and consumers together in a networking environment.
