WiPP's SEPTEMBER SOCIAL: ***RESCHEDULED*** to Tuesday, September 23 (6 to 8 p.m.) at Ink & Paper Group (1825 SE 7th Avenue, Portland, OR 97214). We're sorry for the inconvenience and short notice, but our plans for the 19th fell through. We're going to use this opportunity to sort through our book drive donations as we network! If you bring along $5.00 for your portion of food, WiPP will cover the drinks. Our socials are casual, take-a-load-off, women-only affairs, and you do not need to be a member to participate.
ALSO NOTE: We've been invited to another happy hour with the members of PubWest (www.pubwest.org) on Friday, October 3rd, at The Lucky Labrador Brewing Company in Portland (915 SE Hawthorne Blvd.). More details will follow in an Evite, so drop us a query via the contact page if you aren't already on our mailing list.
