Carafes and Craft–

A happy hour with a twist

Join us for a craft-themed happy hour and enjoy a craft beer (or fancy NA drink) while we chat about social media. Why do it? How to do it well? Where to post? Past NSWA president Sally James will guide the discussion and field your burning questions in this casual discussion. Friday, May 15 at Project 9 Brewing Company (1409 NE 80th St, Seattle, WA 98115)
