We’re meeting outside the Germantown Neighborhood Center by the Garden at 10:00am. Nothing fancy, just a good walk and some good company.

If you’ve been meaning to come, tomorrow’s a great time to start. Bring a friend if you want, or come on your own and we’ll walk with you. 💜

See you out there!
