Recap of Conference Call

Thanks everyone for attempting the call today. I personally have had computer issues all week so I apologize for the short notice on how to get on the call. We should have all the bugs worked out for the next one (crossing fingers). The main things we decided during the call were: *The URL for the resource page www.gogreenokc.com *Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, March 4th at 9:30 at OKCMAR. This is pending availability of the board room at OKCMAR. I will confirm ASAP so we can all get it on our calenders. *Leslie Denton is moving to Arkansas and will no longer be a member of the committee. We will miss you Leslie! *Katrina has a few logo ideas she is going to post to the blog. *Simon is going to be helping coordinate the drop off points for the Earth Day recycle drive *Gayle is going to be helping Michelle and Elizabeth with details on the cocktail party That's about it, in a nutshell. Sorry we missed everyone else. I'm looking forward to speaking to each of you in the near future!

Drop Locations

In talking with my broker after the call today about volunteering the Keller Williams Choctaw office as a possible site, she brought up a great question:

Does the spot need to be indoors or out?

Since we are not specifying what type of materials will be taken/excluding it might not be a good idea to ask our locations to house the waste inside. This would also allow for a drop-off any time, rather than normal business hours.

That said, leaving the items outside would potentially leave us open to having all kinds of things dropped.

Any thoughts?

Location for Earth Day Event

I have a friend at Boldt and I asked him about renting out the lobby. They are offering to host our event for FREE. He told me to call him on Monday to firm up details. They are a silver LEED certified building with 36 credits. They were the first silver in Oklahoma, I believe. Thoughts?

Hello! I wanted to check on the status of a web address and the facebook group. Has anyone given it any thought? I also wanted to let you know that we will be ordering the reuseable bags the beginning of next week, for the Spring Conference. (I think we are trying to stay away from the bright green bags, unless that is what you'd refer?) I will be devoting part of my day tomorrow to the OKCMAR Facebook & Twitter accounts, if you'd like me to create the GRC group just let me know.

Let's try this...

After a very productive first meeting of the OKCMAR Green Resource Council, we all decided that it would be fantastic if we could keep the conversation moving forward between official "meetings". I created a yahoo group, but I think it might be easier for everyone to communicate here instead. I've sent all members an invitation to become an administrator so we can all post. Thoughts?
