Held in the Lapanza Lounge of the Portsmouth Brewery, last Thursday's Green Card Holders Appreciation Nightdrew well over 100 people -- business partners, community leaders, and citizens alike.

Fueled by the Brewery's always stellar eats and new fall beer lineup, the meeting mimicked the first "Green Speed Dating" event held last March at the Brewery; only this time instead of 15 Business Partners providing introductions, over 40 were given the spotlight. Sarah Brown kicked things off with a short thank you and congratulations to all in attendance for helping make the last year and a half so succesful. She then turned the stage over to Bill Rogers from Now or Never Media, who debuted two brand new 20-second spots featuring the Green Card.

Community members from all over the Seacoast came by to catch a first-hand look at how far their little-Green-organization-that-could has come in the last year and a half. There was even a couple from Boston who made the treck North to check in with the GA, whose progress they've been following from Bean Town for months.

All in all it was a wildly succesful night, and gave everyone who's worked to make the GA what it is a chance to appreciate and enjoy all that their committments have garnered.
