We are partnering with our friends at Sereia Films to put on this Member Happy Hour!

This event is open to all of our members and their friends (especially those who are interested in becoming a member as well)! For those who want to become members, we will have reduced rates for the first month AND we will be providing the membership perks right at the door!

We will have sustainable arts and crafts such as lionfish jewelry making, reusable bag crafting, and plastic bag bracelets, as well as food and beverages.

Once the clock hits 7:00 PM, we will be having a screening of the Netflix Documentary, "Chasing Coral."

Make sure to RSVP so we have enough for the fun activities and food!
