Please join us on November 23 when we celebrate people and organizations, both Gotham members and non-Gotham members, who work in ways big and small, for-profit and not-for-profit, to make our world a little greener. 

Please contact GOtham GREEN® Group Coordinator Shelley Simpson to RSVP and for further information about Gotham's original "Save The World" group (as least that’s how Fred Klein – aka Friday’s blogger – describes it).

As I stated when I posted here several weeks back the opportunity apply for or nominate someone for the awards, I enjoy recognizing those who make a difference in our communities and the world.  This explains my involvement in GOtham GREEN®  and the Gotham Green Awards®.

P.S. This is the first blog drafted on my brand new Mac (which explains the pic at right) which arrived during Gotham Happy Hour way ahead of the promised December 7 date.
