2nd Anniversary PuPPy Meeting -- Hosted by Facebook at New Office

Facebook where it all started on August 9, 2014, hosting us for PuPPy's 2nd anniversary meeting in the Frank Gehry designed office located on Dexter Avenue.

Facebook requires your email for admission, please answer the Meetup question to facilitate a smooth check-in.

Our hosts are providing food and beverages. Facebook has always provided us great fare, but now with the new building Facebook owns the kitchen. Friends working for Facebook say the food's improved over what was offered in the old building.

These local small businesses are joining our celebration!

Stoup Brewing
At Stoup, (http://www.stoupbrewing.com/) our craftsmanship is a testament to our commitment to the art and the science of beer.
