Congratulations to Beaufort’s Greendrinks, which celebrated its sixth successful year this past week.  Founded by <b>Paul Nurnberg, Kim Gundler, Burton Sauls, Richard Darby, Mark Shaffer, and Michele Barker</b>, this group holds a monthly meeting of people working in the environmental fields along with those who are simply interested in getting together with other green-minded people.  They meet every third Tuesday of the month and always have a interesting speaker on topics ranging from local solar energy to beekeeping. Their motto? “Green goes better with friends.” This week’s topic was on how to make Beaufort a year-round eco-tourism destination with speaker <b>Robb Wells</b> from the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce.

“We all have a good time. Join us!” said member Liz Entwistle. Go to www.greendrinks.org/SC/Beaufort to see upcoming scheduled speakers and sign up for emails.
