IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Hello everyone,
After some deep thought, I have decided to close this group. The price of running a MeetUp group has gone up and has become a costly expense. I also need to take some time from leading meetings to focus on some projects that I am working on.
Our last meeting will be the Virtual Halloween Party on 10/29 @ 8pm EST. I will be focusing on building community on Instagram, which is a more cost-effective option for me. At some point I might bring back Sip & Chat meetings and announce them on Instagram and through my mailing list.
I have enjoyed meeting with you and chatting at our meetings over the past 7 months. Thank you for supporting this group. Those of you who recently joined the group, I hope we get to meet up at this last event.
