Club Blue Charlotte

club blue logo

Club Blue is a dynamic group of individuals from around the greater Charlotte-Metro area who gather each month to enjoy cocktails, music, lively discussions, new friends and good times. Known locally by our slogan “Give of your liver to save the River,” we are pleased to launch this new social club in January of 2009. This club will invite young professionals age 21-40 to join in making a difference in the future of the Catawba River through monthly gatherings and parties.

Our mission is to bring together those people who are both living and practicing the principles of sustainability and those seeking to learn more. We seek to involve young executives in the protection and conservation of the Catawba River. We come from many different walks of life, but share a love of the environment and embracing this beautiful city we call home.

Our members are entrepreneurs and students, environmentalists and outdoorsmen, bankers and architects, educators and social workers, attorneys and policy makers, retailers, bartenders, chefs, servers...and everything in between.

Various Paddling events will be held throughout the year as well. Click here for information on the schedule of paddling events for 2009.

So, come join us and meet colleagues, have a bite to eat, network with fellow members, or enjoy a conversation with others who wish to further a greener Charlotte.

And remember…1.5 million people depend on the Catawba River. The Catawba River depends on you.
