SUMMARY:INYO350 Activist Pizza Party
DESCRIPTION:Come Get Involved with Pizza!\nWe all find ourselves living through unimaginably challenging times as we witness the destruction of so much that we value and hold dear. Voting is crucial\, but many feel called to further action.

Conversation\, pizza\, snacks\, Rambler brew and bottled wine at 5 PM\, program starts at 5:30 \nWe know there are so many cool things going on every night in the Eastern Sierra\, but come on by C5 before you head out for an evening of music or more!
