What is happening in The Room?
Thursday, July 27th
6:15pm - 8:30pm
Join me for some SLUSH & STORYTELLING:)
Sometimes the summer season calls for something different--more relaxed, refreshing, and the option to share or just sit back and listen. We thought we'd add a summer spin to our quarterly Meet & Greet. The best summer get-togethers often follow a certain format:
1) They are almost always last minute, impromptu invitations to gather!
2) Something cold to eat or drink is a must:)
3) There should be no stress and some socializing--
4) And, it's nice if it also happens to connect you with community in some way.
Tick all the boxes and let me start off by treating you to a slush in support of the most refreshing pop-up in Wakefield: Inspire Cafe (500 Main St, Wakefield). Read more about this great initiative and cause by clicking HERE.
Then we'll stroll on down to the Albion Cultural Exchange (9 Albion St, Wakefield) with yummy, melty slush in hand--slurping and chatting--for the first of three Storytelling Open Mic Nights for FREE! Click HERE to learn more.
Important Timeline:
6:15-6:45pm:
Slush at Inspire Cafe
7:00-8:30pm:

Just want a slush and to say, "Hello"--that's fine. Or, just want to attend the Storytelling--I'll see you there!:)
