Ecolutions – a New Happy Hour “Think and Drink” for Ecologically Minded Young Professionals
Ecolutions is a once a month free happy hour event for young professionals with a passion for the environment and sustainability held at The Agency Ultra Sport Lounge and sponsored by the Holy Names Heritage Center. Ecolutions is an opportunity for individuals to interact with environmental pioneers and discuss and debate pressing ecological challenges and help forge creative solutions – it’s not a lecture series, but a forum for discussion. Topics change each month (see July through September descriptions below). So, if you are looking for something to do on a Monday night, check it out:

The Holy Names Heritage Center also sponsors the successful “History Pub” series at the McMenamin’s Kennedy School. Due to the success of the “History Pub” series, the Sisters of the Holy Names desired to create a program that presented environmental stewardship concepts since the Sisters have been involved in the care of the earth for 150 years in the Northwest. Ecolutions is also sponsored by grants from The Meyer Memorial Trust and Norm Thompson founders, John and Jane Emrick.
