• "Socialize with Sushi" after SIBL Networking event @ Eden Wok Chinese Restaurant

  Let's Meetup at Eden Wok Chinese Restaurant and Sushi Bar. If you can't make it to the library tour, there's still an opportunity to catch up with old members and welcome new ones. There should be something for everyone on the menu--I've been there several times and the prices are reasonable. If folks want, there are regular bars in the neighborhood as well. Even if you've RSVP'd to the library tour, please consider this a separate event. I need to tell the manager how many we'll be.
