We’re starting a monthly social gathering. The date we’ve selected is the Saturday after the first Friday of each month. The location we’ve selected is The Boll Weevil restaurant at 10 Ninth Street, Augusta, GA 30901. Our time is 6:30 pm, late enough in the day for you to get your errands done and early enough for your to spend some time with us before your Saturday night soiree.
There’s no minimum food order or admission price, but consider ordering something and please leave a tip for the server proportional to the amount of time you stay.
You don’t have to be a member of our organization or agree with everything we’ve done. If you like peace and want to hang out for a while, just come and hang out.
