Hi folks- we want to apologize for being a bit more sporadic with event posts and especially with updating the calendar. We're really shorthanded right now, but our main volunteers will have time again in a couple of weeks. If you would be interested in volunteering with social media or with submitting events, we'd love the help! We meet every third Wednesday at 8 at Plankton (126 Fargo)- that's the 17th this month. You can also reach us by either messaging us on this page or by emailing us at [email protected] for more information.
