2015 Planning Meeting tomorrow night at Butapub
Calling all YUPs! With input from the YUPs who attended our last Open Meeting back in September, we’ve sketched out a slew of awesome events and activities for 2015. Now we need your help to implement them! Thursday, Feb. 5th is your chance to get involved with the Young Urban Preservationists and help make a difference here in Rochester and in communities across our region. This is an open and welcoming meeting–if you’ve been thinking about getting involved, now is the perfect time!
ButaPub at The Historic German House in the South Wedge will be hosting us and offering a tour of the building. So stop in after work, grab some drinks, some food (the tempura sweet potato fries are AMAZING!), and get down to business.
RSVP on Facebook to let us know you’re coming. Email Caitlin Meives if you have questions.
