Our next meeting is Wednesday, June 11th.

Our next meeting is Wednesday, June 11th at the Main branch of the Allen County Public Library. We will be in the Business and Technology meeting room on the 2nd floor beginning and 7PM and ending when the library closes at 9PM. As usual many of us go out afterwards for drinks at a local pub and all are welcome to attend as well.

We will be trying a slightly different format this month. The first half of the meeting will be “business” as usual in which we will discuss the possibility of sponsoring another speaker, our logo, mission statement and charter. The second half of the meeting will be less structured and open to more socializing in order to meet your fellow members and less listening to someone (like myself) ramble-on

If you would like please bring a clean (it is a library after all) snack item to share with the group for our social “time”.

As always if you have any questions, just drop a note to contact@freethoughtfortwayne.org
