September 29, 2020(1 event) 8:00 pm: Online Pub Night – Please BYOB and BYO bar snacks :-). We will start off with a question of the week to get the conversation going and make sure everyone has a chance to contribute. This week's question will be: What inspired you to start SCD and what got you hooked? Depending on the number of people who come, we'll also split up into some breakout rooms for part of the time so that people can talk in smaller groups.
