Each event will be held at a different location and benefit a different, local, environmentally friendly or “green” project or organization. The vibe will be informal, fun, and the aim is for you to meet like-minded locals while supporting a great cause! RSVP's are not required but encouraged so we can get an accurate count of how many are coming. Check out upcoming dates on our News & Events Page.
