Are you looking for a fun way to meet your neighbors and make new friends? Look no further than our upcoming Pizza Social night!

Date: 15 March 2023
Time: 6pm
Venue: Family resource center (East village, Building 123 Apt 456)

Organised by the Village Resident’s Association, we're excited to welcome all residents to come together for an evening of conversation and delicious pizza.

Whether you're a long-time member of the community or new to the area, come connect with others and enjoy a night out. Kids are welcome!

We will also be inviting UC Berkeley’s Student Helpdesk to share about a new WiFi network that allows residents to connect their entertainment devices (smart TVs, streaming hubs, and gaming consoles) to the campus network, rather than a personal router which usually requires more work to set up and is far less reliable.

We hope to see you there!
