Let's run a spatial join and gather at Eastwood's Grill and Lounge for weGIS's Spring Mixer!

There's no theme and no stakes, just some drinks and a good time. 🌎🍻

Please be aware that all attendees will be responsible for their own tabs.

Please RSVP so we can keep the location updated with numbers.
