Leave the inbox behind and hang out with community!
Gather 'round and take a break from the grind for an evening. Welcome to Startup Grind Friends-giving!
Enjoy kick-back time, catch up with community, and make a new friend or two. But don't worry, it's not a potluck! We'll get together for drinks at Bunker, a tucked away bar with a huge beer selection and creative cocktails. Bunker also has boardgames and a Ms. Pac-Man coffee table to get your game on.
All are welcome, just register so we know to expect you. At 5pm we'll do a quick round of intros and brief gratitude-sharing.
Show up before 5pm and your first drink is on Wells-Fargo!
Bunker is located in the back of Froth Cafe, enter through Froth. Want more community time? Join us earlier in the day at Froth for Community Co-working Day!
