We have many reasons to say “thank you” to so many people from the past few days! Some great parties were thrown under our tent this week(pictures from Revelry and GOOD Greenmarket after the jump) and we’re grateful to be working with so many talented and dedicated groups:

* Thank you to all of our Revelry By The River honorees, sponsors and attendees for truly making it our best Revelry ever. We feel really good about everything that we’ve done over the past year, and your support really affirms our mission to promote sustainability in the Big Apple;

* Thank you to dvGreen, design one, Scharff Weisberg, Sage Events and everyone who worked so hard to make the event such a beautiful and delicious one. And thank you to the weather for cooperating.

* Thank you to the folks at GOOD Magazine, Loving Day and Green Drinks for putting on three great events on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. We had thousands of people throughout the weekend eating, drinking, enjoying the music, and just generally having a good time despite the 90+ degree heat.

* Thank you to City Councilmember David Yassky for coming down to Solar 1 in the record-breaking heat yesterday for a conversation with Solar One Outreach & Advocacy Coordinator Chris Neidl on green politics and policy-making in NYC.

* Thank you to all the Solar One staff and volunteers who put in countless hours in recent weeks getting things ready and working to make sure that everything went so smoothly.

I could go on, but I think the point is made – if this past weekend is any indication, it’s going to be a great summer out at Solar 1. Don’t forget to come back for Citysol, June 26–29!
