Do you love board games? Join the Greater Brookland Intergenerational Village on Wednesday, June 12, from 6–8pm for a neighborhood “game night” featuring Scrabble, Yahtzee, Rummikub, and more for the adults. Your kids are welcome too! For the littler ones, we will have Sorry, Memory, and Connect 4.

This event is held at Right Proper Brewery on Girard Street. We’ll plan to play on the patio, but Right Proper has kindly offered to host us in the back production space if it rains. Bring a game of your own (or use ours), grab a drink, and have fun! Right Proper does not sell food but you may bring your own (Tastemakers or Menomale are both nearby options).

We meet the second Wednesday of the month!
