Thank You Thursday – 2.14.13

We need lots of support and love as we work to green our communities, whether it’s room to gather or fuel to keep us going (some of us can’t get very far with an empty stomach and no caffeine). So today we show some love to the folks who helped us make our recent Beyond Local workshops a success.

First, we thank the Talking Stick coffee lounge and the Boys and Girls Club in Venice, which graciously donated their space to this local activist workshop. Our eco-leaders-in-training also enjoyed warm beverages from our local Starbucks (which also donated items to our Beauty by the Bay fundraiser in December) and the yummy sandwiches from our newest neighbor Jersey Mikes.

MacMall proved to be an amazing holiday partner, selling microfiber cloths to their customers with proceeds benefiting Heal the Bay. Then they threw a free concert (featuring the hiphop fusion band Dirty Heads), and surprised us with the presentation of a larger-than-life-size check of the impressive proceeds. We are blown away by that amount of love! 

Now we offer a sneak peek at the month of March, when the following local establishments will partner with us to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of our Aquarium!

• Beachy Cream Organic Ice Cream
• Mariasol Restaurant
• Rusty’s Surf Ranch
• The Lobster
• The Basement Tavern
• The Hungry Cat
• Lago Santa Monica

Here’s wishing you lots of love today and beyond!
