Siren Wednesday/New Member Q&A
Feb 3, 2010, 5:30 PM-7:30 PM
Cibo Fusion (685 Marion Blvd, www.cibofusion.com). Cibo is a offering 2 for 1 (you call it!) drink specials from 5:30-6:00 p.m.
Our community tests its emergency sirens the first Wednesday of each month. We think it's a great reason for ImpactCR members (and those interested in joining) to get together over drinks at a local bar or restaurant. If you are new to ImpactCR or thinking about joining, we will have an informal Q&A session every Siren Wednesday from 5:45-6:15 p.m. Look for the ImpactCR banner.
