NEWH National's Networking June 10, 2009 Photos

On June 10th NEWH hosted a networking happy hour at the National's stadium. The fear of rain couldn't keep away more than 30 members of the DC architecture and design community. Guests came from Mulvanny G2 Architecture in McLean, First Finish, BBGM, Choice, Marriott International, Architectural Ceramics, Wolf Gordon Wallcovering, Kohler Corporate, EcoSmart Fire, and more. The rain held off until the 9th inning and although the National's lost (boo-hoo) it was a great event. Check out some photo's below. Left: The New National's Stadium!

Whether you’re a seasoned environmental professional, a newcomer to the group, or simply want to share your own personal observations and successes at living a more mindful and green lifestyle, you’re welcome to join our roundtable discussion (of course, you can just listen, too). Hope to see you on June 18th from 6 to 8pm at the Auld Shebeen! We’ll be meeting in the semi-private room on the main level.
