June 26 'Cocktails for Congo' event (and bartending class)

I met Vijaya Thakur at a Microfinance USA pre-conference walking tour of Greenwich Village a few weeks ago.  She works at Resolve Network - they do microfinance in conflict zones.  Anyway, she's organizing an event for those who are "thirsty for social impact" (and just plain thirsty) with an awesome bartending class/mixer on June 26.  Check it out!
Cheers,
Katharine
