Join us for a round of shoe throwing at East Park, 6:30 pm.  If people have better equipment to bring/share, we can hopefully upgrade from shoes to golf disks (if you missed the last social and are confused, we're playing frisbee golf).  Lightening or hail, stay home.  Otherwise we play rain or shine.
See the [[OldNews]] page.
