SOCIAL EVENTS!<\/strong>
\n
\nWe\u2019re exploring the idea of adding regular social events to our TGEA community calendar\u2014something fun and informal to bring folks together outside of our regular 2nd Friday gatherings.
\nThis quick survey will help us understand what kinds of activities you\u2019d enjoy, when you’re available, and whether you\u2019d like to help organize.
\nThanks for taking a moment to share your input!
