o2NYC February events
A lot has been happening behind the scenes at o2NYC during the past
month even though you haven't heard much from us. We held our second
Members meeting and several planning and committee meetings. We also
have two very different events planned for February. We hope you can
make it and bring guests. More information on both events will be
coming soon. Please also read down for announcements about the Ici NYC
party TOMORROW NIGHT and voting Treehugger.com as Blog of the Year.
