🦃🎉 FRIENDSGIVING POTLUCK DINNER (20s/30s in Venice)

About this event

🦃🎉 Friendsgiving! You come! We feast! We celebrate, chill, and give thanks! This year we're combining our annual Friendsgiving potluck dinner with the usual end of our current round of creative goals group dinner (from our weekly Creative Cowork Wednesday events). You don't need to have participated in the creative goals round or attended a past event. Join us in the spirit of Thanksgiving to make friends, hangout, network, and eat on some delicious food. We'll probably have the backyard fire pit going too, along with some holiday music and/or movies on the big screen.
