## Inclement Weather:

• This event is scheduled to take place outside and Florida is known for afternoon / summer rain showers. If there is rain in the forecast, this event will proceed as planned, but we will move the location inside to a nearby coffeeshop or other sheltered 3rd place. I will post an update here if this happens. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding inclement weather or anything else!
