July & August Mini’app’les Meeting Announcement

June 21, 2017 by Pete Bockenhauer

Just a reminder — and for those who missed last night’s meeting — we won’t be meeting at LuminFire in July or August. We’ll resume regular meetings at that location in September. Our plan is to to host informal “meet ups” at local tap houses in place of the regular meetings. We’ll gather around a table to swap stories and tips. We can pass around a “screen” as necessary but we won’t have any “front of room” presentations. We’re scouting locations now. If you have a favorite, please let us know.
