In Athens, we can always find a reason to get together. This year, on July 18th, we will be celebrating Mid-Year at the brand-new Food Bank of Northeast Georgia space. This organization, that focuses on nourishing our neighbors sent 11 million pounds of food through their doors last year. You will be awed by the magnitude of their work.

The event is light on programming and heavy on good food, good drinks, and great friends. In years past, the Mid-Year event has been one of our most heavily attended networking soirees. Come out to meet old and new friends and celebrate our beautiful community!
