However, in the Summer we will hold multiple After Hours, in September, we hold it on the third Thursday due to Brewfest occurring the following weekend. In November, we also have it on the third Thursday due to Thanksgiving. Our “After Hours” program was developed to provide our members with the opportunity for socializing, networking, and getting to know each other.
