Green Goddess Endeavors to Save the Lighthouse

We received this press release recently and wanted to pass along the information. First, if you haven't been to The Green Goddess yet, you need to get over there soon. The weather is cooling off, and it's a delight to sit outside on a Sunday evening and enjoy the sounds of the French Quarter turning from commercial to residential. Plus, the food is out of sight. Finally, any time someone wants to entice us into philanthropy with a drink special, we figure out a way to give them a shout out.

The Green Goddess “Save Our Lighthouse” Party

Hello to all our Internet friends. We want to remind you that we are having a party on this Wednesday evening to benefit Save Our Lake in their efforts to repair the historic Lake Pontchartrain Lighthouse. The party starts Wed. night, from 6-9 pm, with fun food, cocktails, music, speakers from Save Our Lake (which is professionally known as The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation); basically, we’re hosting a big environmental party with Save Our Lake this Wed. night, Oct. 7th in Exchange Alley. You are cordially invited to attend!

Our neighbors at The Pelican Club are joining The Green Goddess in throwing this party, so there will be ample space to get drinks, great food from either restaurant, and the opportunity to buy $2 or $5 raffle tickets to get some cool prizes, including gift certificates, booze, and a few unusual artisanal ingredients.

We also have partnered with Tru Organic Spirits, a California distillery with a terrific environmental program, to raise money the rest of October by featuring Tru liquors in a few cocktails at The Green Goddess, and donating $1 per cocktail to Save Our Lake’s lighthouse repairs. Thus far, we’ve raised over $150 for these critical repairs, and we hope by hosting this big party on this Wed. night, along with all the rest of the month including Halloween festivities, that we can raise a bunch more money for Save Our Lake. Additionally, Tru Organic Spirits and their local distributor, Uncorked Wines, are donating $2 per bottle of Tru Organic Vodka (in 3 flavors, regular, lemon, and vanilla – all painstakingly handcrafted) and the Tru Organic Gin (a cool, infused gin with a unique flavor profile) for each bottle sold in the greater New Orleans market to Save Our Lake.

I hope you’ll be able to pop in for a visit to either The Green Goddess or Pelican Club on this Wednesday night, Oct 7 from 6-9 pm, as we celebrate with Save Our Lake for a sustainable, beautiful environmental legacy here in New Orleans and all of South Louisiana. We’re making it easy to be green: just enjoy a libation, buy a raffle ticket, and enjoy dinner this Wednesday, and keep enjoying our handcrafted cocktails all the way through Halloween.

Thanks for your attention,
Chef Chris DeBarr
