Feb. 10, 2011 - Rogue Green - Event Numero Quince - A Special Evening With Josiah Cain

Time	Thursday, February 10 · 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Location	Phoenix Urban Research Laboratory (PURL) 234 N. Central Avenue Phoenix, AZ

With special thanks to our wonderful sponsor, Emergency Restoration Experts, we are able to keep this event FREE for the community!

Rogue Green, in conjunction with Keep Arizona Beautiful, are happy to keep the momentum going in helping everyone "walk their talk" by bringing engaging and authentic green industry folks to blow your mind.

My friend Josiah is one of those people. Plus he's really fun and cute.

Networking: 6 - 6:30p, followed by Josiah's presentation and Q & A. We will then probably head over to Ghost Lounge to carry on the discussion, as PURL does not allow alcohol on site.
