January Meetup - Wednesday 1/8 @ Pierogi Mountain Downtown, 6:30pm

Happy New Year everyone!

We hope you've all had a pleasant and relaxing holiday break! We are going to do something a little different to kick off the new year.... instead of the typical gathering in a library conference room, we are going to do a more informal get together at Pierogi Mountain downtown this coming Wednesday, January 8th, at 6:30pm. Stop by for a quick bite (& beer if you so choose) and lets talk about what we can do in Columbus - today - to improve things from the bottom up.

A few topics/roles we think could use some activism are listed below. If you have an interest in any of these - or would like to pursue something not on the list - please do not hesitate to reach out! We can discuss at the meetup, or if you are unable to make it, you can respond in the Google Group / email / Slack and we will find a time to chat. There is no contribution too small, and we can say from experience that even the "lead" roles are not nearly as demanding as they might seem.

1. Startup of a Columbus Crash Analysis Studio (lead role - STC leadership will assist any volunteers with getting this started)
2. Building benches for bus stops in need (recurring activity) - lead & support roles
   
3. Adding bus stops which are in need of benches to the Slack tracking list
   
4. Painting crosswalks in Brewery District - lead & support roles
   
5. Street painting block party - support roles (see Slack post from Christian)
6. ....I am sure there are more

Sorry for the late notice - we are also trying to get our ducks in a row as the new year kicks off. Hope to see you all there!
