Some organizations get to wrap themselves in green and legitimately benefit from the current environmental hype – one is the Ohio Environmental Council (OEC). A fundraiser that will help the green group to stay in greenbacks is “The Green Gala.”
In two weeks you can “enjoy fabulous silent auction items up for bid, honor the 2008 Environmental Achievement Award winners and network with activists, lawmakers, green businesses, and agency officials.”
In addition to celebrating a year of important ecological victories (See in the buckeye state, the price of admission will get non-members a one-year complimentary membership to the OEC.

Tickets are $40 for an individual or $35 for two or more tickets for OEC members and non-OEC members are $45 for an individual or $40 for two or more tickets.
