Mysuru: Having an alcohol-free month can help to get the new year off to a great start and is a good opportunity to reset our drinking habits after the indulgence of Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Addressing a press conference yesterday at The Green Hotel premises here, Hotel’s Director and Founder of Charities Advisory Trust in UK Dame Hilary Blume said, “The hotel is coming up with a new concept of Alcohol-free Month during February. The concept is already in vogue and has been adopted in United Kingdom, where January was declared as Alcohol-free Month. This endeavour is an effort to encourage people not to drink alcohol for one whole month.”
She further said, “in an effort to give Mysureans a health boost, we have come up with a concept of introducing fruits and vegetable-based mocktails for the month of February in our drink menu along with our regular food menu.”
‘Knit For Peace’ team from UK, USA in city
As part of Republic Day celebrations, The Green Hotel hosted a group of visitors including the ‘Knit For Peace’ team from the UK, who are presently staying at the Hotel. ‘Knit For Peace’ is an initiative of the Charities Advisory Trust started as an income generation project for victims of genocide and civil war. This year, 32 members from the UK, including two from USA, are participating in the ‘Knit For Peace’ initiative.
The Trust, which runs a group of Hotels, ploughs all its profits into charitable activities.
Finance Manager Avril, Green Hotel Adviser B.M. Cariappa, Manager D’Souza and others were present at the press meet.
