New Places & New Faces CLT

Join us for a kickball game with the group. The name says it all. No fancy skill set needed. This is a noncompetitive event although we may talk some ish along the way. All skill levels welcome! We will randomly split into two teams to play. Don't let the number of RSVPs scare you off. Super welcoming group!

Come on now let's go kick some balls!
