Miller’s at it again… and this time he’s come up with one stellar excuse to throw a party.  With the help of TCCa, he’s resurrected a local cocktail club with a community-minded mission.  Now, why didn’t I think of that?! Oh wait. I did (shout out to GreenDrinks).

The Savannah International Cocktail Club (SICC) began last fall with several gatherings at Bonna Bella Yacht Club, drawing close to 80 folks the first meeting. With the weather once more begetting of an evening out, Chris has now passed the torch to TCCa and re-engaged the group for 2008.

And this time of year, we’re all wary of the sand gnats (gross).  So Bonna Bella no more, this month SICC will meet at the new, the fabulous Bacchus Wine Lounge.

If you are in Savannah by way of another country, globally minded, looking for a foreign mate or even just like to travel, this is one happy hour you shouldn’t miss. If you haven’t looked at a world map since the fall of the Berlin Wall, you are commanded to attend for a little lesson in geography. Kyrgyzstan, Vanuatu or Kiribati are not figments of Borat’s imagination (real countries).

And there’s more to a gathering of international drinkers than meets the eye. As most of you know, TCCa is tasked with keeping Savannah “cool” by helping to grow the innovation economy. While part of this mission involves attracting and growing brain-based business, of equal importance is fostering the general environment needed to attract and nurture smart people who want to do smart things.  We think being an International city and home to a large International community is a vital part of that equation.

Don’t be sheltered (or xenophobic), come out tomorrow evening for a global good time!
