This event will be held outdoors at 6353 S Cottage Grove Ave, which is approximately one block south of the Cottage Grove green line stop. Bathroom access and air conditioning will be available indoors adjacent to the main event area.
If weather is looking bad, we'll move indoors but have reduced capacity. We'll send an update email to registered guests if we expect that to be the case.
Format
Stop by any time during the event's duration! We'll have food (incl. vegan and halal options) as well as soft drinks available, and you can just hang out. The sponsoring organizations will have tables set up for informational conversations, and the CSRA will be vetting new members.
