We have reserved the light, roomy meeting room at Milwood for 4+ hours of Saturday gaming. Newbies welcome—we will be happy to teach you to play. We are a safe, friendly, inclusive, and diverse group. We’ll meet at 12:30 at the Milwood branch of the Austin Public Library, in northwest Austin, at 12500 Amherst Dr, off Parmer/MoPac. There's plenty of free parking, including four spots for EV charging at the west end of the lot. P.S. Please, no food at the game tables—so be sure to grab a bite before you arrive. Beverages in spill-proof containers are okay. Cover photo with permission from @klemmplem

Okay, folks, it's the **third Saturday** and we have reserved **more than four hours** **of board gaming**! So bring your friends and let's dig in. Your host has plenty of games (we'll always have Catan, but also everything from **A**zul to ... darn, I don't have a **Z** game, but how about **W**ingspan?). You're welcome to bring your own game(s) as well. Can you teach? Great! Play an old favorite, learn a new one. NEWBIES WELCOME—we will be happy to teach you to play. We are a safe, friendly, inclusive, and diverse group. We’ll meet at the Milwood branch of the Austin Public Library, in northwest Austin, at 12500 Amherst Dr, off Parmer/MoPac. There's plenty of free parking, including four spots for EV charging at the west end of the lot. We'll start at **12:30** and play till the library closes (well, actually till **4:45**). This should give us time for two longish games, three shorter ones, or one really challenging brain-burner per table. With up to seven tables at our disposal, that means... a lot of board gaming. See you there! P.S. Please, no food at the game tables—modern board games are expensive—so be sure to grab a bite before you arrive. Beverages in spill-proof containers are okay.

**Let’s build the kind of friendships that make life richer.** **Once a month we gather for a relaxed and stylish Sunday Brunch at one of North Austin’s great restaurants. Each event is a chance to connect with other amazing women, share stories, laugh over great food, and create genuine friendships.** **This group is for women in their mid-30s to mid-40s who enjoy good conversation, positive energy, and building a supportive circle of friends.** **Each month we’ll rotate restaurants so we can explore some of Austin’s best brunch spots while creating a community of women who enjoy showing up for each other.** **Come if you enjoy:** **✨ Good food & brunch cocktails** **✨ Meaningful conversation** **✨ Laughing until your cheeks hurt** **✨ Meeting intelligent, kind, fun women** **Our goal is simple: build a great group of women who enjoy life together.** **Bring your good vibes and we’ll see you at brunch.**

What is fly fishing? Maybe you saw the movie A River Runs Through It. That is fly fishing. Fly fishing uses a lightweight lure—called an artificial fly—to catch fish. Fair warning...It can be very addictive. You will not be a pro at the end of this session. You will, however, come away with a solid foundation of knowledge of the sport and have the confidence to get on the water, on your own if you choose to do so. Together, we will cover the following: 1. Fishing License and Outdoor Annual app 2. Fly rod construction and line setup. 3. A lesson in casting. Everyone will be comfortable casting to the point they can "cast to fish." 4. Walk the creek to teach you how to read the water and what to look for. 5. Proper fish handling, anatomy, and fish identification if a fish is caught. \*Plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I am an Angler Education Instructor and a Fly Fishing Instructor with Texas Parks and Wildlife. TPWD provides the gear and handouts we will be using. There is a surprise at the end of class for everyone who attends. **You will need to purchase a fishing license to fish during this class.** We will cover this as part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Outdoor Annual App so that you can do it on-site the day of the class. A fishing license is typically purchased for an entire year. **You can, however, buy a 1-day permit for this event**. **You can still learn to cast without a license**, ***but I can't let you fish.*** As stated above, I will provide all necessary equipment. I'm keeping the limit at 5 for this event so I can be helpful to everyone who attends. If you don't get to sign up, don't worry, I will set up other events in the future. This class will be split into two sessions. I will cover why fly fishing is effective, touching on aquatic macroinvertebrates, gear, where to fish, casting instruction, and practice. If there is time and people have a license, you can actually do some fishing. If you do want to try fishing, I can't promise you'll catch anything. Sometimes that is just fishing. You're welcome to get into the water; keep in mind it may be cold. Dress accordingly if you think you might see yourself doing this. The location we will be at has easy access to the water. The bottom may be slick from algae, so falling is always a possibility. You don't need to get into the water to fish, though. It's just an option. Because this is an outdoor activity, sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses, water, etc. Anything you think you may need to be outside for a few hours. There probably won't be a bathroom, so go ahead of time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask in the comment section or DM me directly. Look forward to seeing everyone on the water. Limited availability, may be postponed due to weather or water levels. **This is an event where attendance matters.**

Casual open play pickleball for all levels, including beginners. Equipment: You will need to purchase a paddle, or you can rent one from the front desk. We play with “outdoor” balls. Usually our group has some but it’s a good idea to bring them just in case. I highly recommend wearing a good quality court shoe and comfortable athletic wear. Players **Must*** use this link to register. https://apexpbclubs.podplay.app/community/events/caacc51d-b16c-462c-b6c5-efff1a04a72f Spots are limited so sign up early. Cost is $12 per person ($10.80 for Apex members). Apex is an indoor facility with a pro shop and restaurant/bar on site. You do not need to be a member to play. The purpose of this group is to enjoy the game and introduce new people to the pickleball community. By signing up you agree to be willing to play with people who are at different skill and experience levels, and show kindness and respect to all players at all times.

Let’s meet and share our thoughts about Carson McCullers’ novella, The Ballad of The Sad Café.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, April 22 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

We practice, dance, and enjoy a BYOB bottle of your favorite wine at the Dublin Ballroom off Sawmill, North, and “milonga” is a social event for tango dancing where dancers socialize. A “*practica*” is an informal social event for tango dancing where dancers focus on practicing the dance; while a “*practilonga*” combines the relaxed atmosphere of a “*practica*” with the format of a “milonga.” We are doing it all! ***Cost is $10 payable to the Teacher.*** *Cost is for the cost of the venue and covers some snacks.* We have had fun doing this event in the past. Please arrive promptly as lessons begin at 2pm. Don't worry about bringing a partner as there will be others at the event from outside the group that: a) might have a clue and b) won't step on your toes. The event is BYOB (similar to our Salsa events), so bring your favorite and a wine glass. We will likely find a place for dinner and drinks after the dance.
