- March Small Group Social: It's that time again! Instead of having a class social in the month of March, we will break up into groups for small group socials. Once you are signed up, you will be placed in a group with 2-3 other couples. Each group will then decide what day and time of the month works best for them to meet. Your small group social can be anything from dinner to bowling, kids or no kids. The choice will be up to your group. If you did not have a chance to sign up this morning, and would like to participate, please e-mail Melissa and she will put you on the list!
