Upcoming dates include September 21st, October 19th, November 16th and December 21st. September is pajama night. October is “All is Fall” and guests are encouraged to dress in costume. November is role-playing game night with D&D, Magic the Gathering and other games. December is vintage video game night again sponsored by the WI Computer Club and Evercon. We still pull our vintage board/card games so people have that option too.  We are always looking for volunteers to help with game night. They can earn volunteer hours just by playing games, helping with set-up and take down and making guests feel welcome and included.
