Boston Green Drinks will meet up tomorrow, May 6, from 6:30 p.m. onward at Skipjack's, 199 Clarendon St., Boston. They have a private room, just to the left of the host station (though not in the bar, which is also to the left).
There will be an Energy Fair on Saturday, May 10th from 10:00 a.m.-2:00p.m. at the First Parish Church in Westwood at the intersection of Clapboardtree Street and Nahatan Street. There will be entertainment and food and the event is free!
Also, come visit us at Massachusetts Youth Pride, where we'll have a table about Conscious Consuming. Youth Pride, the country's oldest and largest gathering of GLBT youth, is on the Boston Common this Saturday, May 10th from 11am-5pm.
Hope to see you at one of these great events!

"The Case for Make Believe" Book Release Party
The Center for a Commercial-Free Childhood is having a book release party for Susan Linn's new book, The Case for Make Believe: Saving Play in a Commercialized World. I read Susan Linn's last book, Consuming Kids, and it was so good that it helped spark our interest in hosting a potluck with Josh Golin, a guest speaker from CCFC. If you are a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, or might have kids of your own some day, I'm sure this book will be worth a read!
