Join friends at the Washtenaw/Ann Arbor office on Mondays, to share coffee and various snacks, good conversation, and a chance to cozy up.
Bring your own beverage of choice (work-appropriate, of course) so you can have exactly what you like. Food will be provided by DNWML, so some snacks will be limited.
