Some Reel Women got together and decided that we needed to do more casual and social events. It‚Äôs great to get all that good information at the meetings and to get educated at the workshops, but sometimes we just want to chat . . . and get to know each other . . . and to pick each others‚Äô brains! Not only that, but if you miss a meeting, then you have to wait a whole month before you get connected again. And, voila! The first Monday of every month will be a ‚ÄúFirst Monday Mix‚Äù. If the First Monday happens to be a holiday, then we might bump it into the next week, but we‚Äôll let you know for sure in our Updates newsletter. If you‚Äôre working on a project, looking for advice or support, or just need to get away from the computer and out of the house for awhile, this might be just the thing. No charge to attend, but the hosting establishment always appreciates your buying a snack or refreshment! Open to Everyone
