We play Codenames every Thursday. To join in, email David at gstelle@gmail.com to be invited via email with a link.
You have a head full of ideas, and we want to hear them. Join us for an open discussion that's exciting, respectful and wide-ranging.
Join us to discuss a topic chosen the month prior. You don't have to research the topic ahead of time, but some members like to stretch their awareness of the topic ahead of time. And feel free to suggest a topic for the following month.
Join the Unholy Rollers this month at Silva Lanes on Eubank. Show up at the front desk and look human. A bowling angel will find you and direct you to Bowling Salvation! Approximate cost: $10-13. No skill required. IT'S BOWLING!
