Last Tuesday's Green Professionals Mixer -- featuring actor and cycling advocate Matthew Modine [1] -- drew a record crowd and record support for NYLCV!

Actor and cycling advocate Matthew Modine was our special guest.Scores of people turned out for the event, held at the fantastic Revision Lounge [2] in Alphabet City, to mix, mingle and exchange ideas about ways to go green.

Modine spoke about his passion for cycling as well as his initiative, Bicycle for a Day [3]. The group's mission is to empower individuals with tools which they can use in their everyday lives to make a measurable, tangible difference to our community, our environment and our personal health.

The committee was co-chaired by NYLCV New York City Chapter Board Members Sarah Currie-Halpern and Jason Sunshine, who both spoke at the event.

The event was also generously supported by Green Mountain Energy [4]. 

Thanks again to Matthew Modine for charming the crowd, and to everyone who turned out for this great event! Stay tuned for our next Green Professionals Mixer in the fall.
