In-Person Postcard Writing
Meet in the 2nd floor community space. You do not have to register or pre-order. Postcards, markers, scripts, and anything else you need is provided. You will be doing something productive and having a good time doing it.
Note: Dash’s has been very tolerant of us taking over the entire community space and their parking lot during these events. But it has been noted that, because the lot is full, shoppers have to park on the street some distance away. So, if you are able, please consider carpooling and/or parking on the street.
