Travelers Circles
Travelers
Circles are held the 3rd Thursday of every month. They are fun
and informal. Each month we host a different speaker who shares
his/her insights on a specific destination, shows slides and tells
a few stories. It's a great way to feel like you're traveling when
you have to be at home. Join us! 7—8:30pm, free and open
to all. Read more...
