!important Change: Socialize at the Gingerman

Hi everyone, we’ve been bumped from our normal meeting spot, and our backup location won’t be able to host us this month, so we’re going to change gears. While we won’t have a good venue for topics, we still want to gather and socialize, so please join us at the Gingerman Tuesday evening to meet up, geek out and enjoy a bit of beer.

We’ll return to topic-focused meetings for the September 13th Refresh.

August 9th, 7 – 10pm at The Gingerman

RSVP on Facebook (it’s not required, you’re always welcome)
