Don't Forget Sip and Signal is happening this Thursday!

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), join us on April 23rd at 6pm for an educational event with a twist!

Sip and Signal dives into the red flags that can exist in dating relationships.

Attendees will have the option to make their own mocktails, and will be provided a red flag and green flag upon arrival. Staff will go through a variety of fake dating profiles, by holding their chosen flag(s) up, and then unpack as a group.

Please RSVP for this event! We hope to see you there!
