Monitor to close out 2014 BBB Series
Monday, October 27, 2014 by Michael Kanin
Council Members Laura Morrison and Bill Spelman are set to help the Monitor close out its 2014 Beers Brains and Betterment discussion series with what we’re calling an exit interview on Nov. 18. As always, the event is at the North Door — 501 Brushy Street — where doors will open at 7 p.m. Tickets are free and can be found here. We expect a candid discussion.
