The Student Advisory Council (SAC) invites all Kindergarten parents to a meet-and-greet at Fine Balance Brewery (677 Innovation Drive) on Sunday, October 27th, between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Bring the family, connect with other parents, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon over coffee and beverages. Kids' activities will be provided, and food and beverages will be available for purchase.

Given the limited space at Fine Balance Brewery, we ask that those interested in attending please register using the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/v6VgvhHy9v. Registration is not mandatory, and you are welcome to show up on October 27th between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

If you haven't been to Fine Balance Brewing before, it's a locally-owned business that encourages Balance in Life. People of all ages and pets are welcome inside. More information can be found at its website: Fine Balance Brewing Company.

While the event targets kindergarten-age families, all parents (especially ones new to Maple) are welcome to attend.

Anyone with questions on this event may direct them to the SAC email ecolemaplecouncil@gmail.com
