Going Green Expo
We celebrated the First Anniversary of our Going Green initiative by hosting the Going Green Expo, a waste-free, organic luncheon. Good Life Catering served locally grown cuisine to more than 150 firm and community participants, while more than a dozen local green organizations shared information with attendees.
Neely Crane-Smith, an exhibitor from the Center for Energy and Environment, remarked, “It was clear that every angle had been examined - from the great environmentally-friendly fare to the interesting diversity of exhibitors.”
