Join AYD for our first happy hour of 2022! This is a great opportunity to meet and network with other Young Democrats, get to know members of the 2022 AYD Executive Board, and learn more about how you can get involved this year. Everyone is welcome and feel free to bring your friends!
We’ll be meeting up on Wednesday, January 19th at 7pm on the outdoor patio at Bronson Bierhall in Ballston. The location is right around the corner from the Ballston Metro and there is some street parking available. The patio is semi-covered and also has space heaters but keep an eye on the weather and dress accordingly. We’ll also have access to a couple patio games such as ping pong and corn hole!
We also ask that all folks attending be fully vaccinated, be masked when not actively eating or drinking, and practice COVID safety in accordance with latest CDC guidelines.
Questions? Email Daniel Gray at [email protected] [[email protected]] .
