Georgia Avenue Thrive, the active nonproft in our area, has their next meeting this Monday (today) from 7-8:30 pm at Small Fry — now with Sundevich sandwiches!
There will be lots of updates from the various committees in the group and they’re also asking for your ideas. Here are the details:
Hope everyone had great end of 2016 and are up for making 2017 as good as we can in the Georgia Ave neighborhood!
Please join us for Georgia Ave Thrive’s monthly meeting THIS MONDAY, JAN. 9, 2017, 7-8:30PM, at SMALL FRY (3212 Georgia Ave NW, beside the awesome District Dogs). Come early for dinner or plan to chew and chat during our meeting from Small Fry’s delicious new menu (lots of salad and sandwich options from the tried and true SUNdeVich favorites). Or hang out for a post-meeting debrief at their sister neighborhood bar Union Drinkery next door!
