We do a book club every 6ish weeks with nonfiction self-help and autobiography being our main genre, but we are open to book suggestions!
We do crafting events, go to coffee shops, events at local restaurants and bars, and local markets, and have game nights!
If there is something you want to do, feel free to drop it--along with book suggestions--in our discord to see if there's anyone else who'd like to join you! If there's enough interest, we can make an event of it, but feel free to use our discord to find others to hang out with outside of meetup, as well!
