Welcome to the Green Drinks Laurel Highlands page! Green Drinks is an informal international networking initiative to connect environmentally minded people and professionals. Our chapter welcomes anyone from the Laurel Highlands region. Many of our events are hosted in Johnstown, PA, though they can be hosted in surrounding towns, as well.
Typically we have a community group or non-profit host an event periodically. Usually the host group selects a local "green" or "sustainable" community project to sponsor by collecting optional donations at the door. Past events have helped fund recreational trail development, a green roof at ArtWorks, Save Our Steeples Project to reuse and revitalize two churches into arts and entertainment venues, to name a few.
We hope to see you at our social events!
