Welcome to this week’s guide of things to do!

For many of you, this is your first time reading as we’re over 3,000 scrollers and clickers now. I say “scrollers and clickers” intentionally because we provide this resource every Monday morning for you to know exactly what’s going on with a quick scroll and a few clicks.

We take feedback seriously. If you have any, please send us a note. We’re always wanting to improve and add (or delete things) that make sense.

Do you like trivia? Let’s test your local knowledge real quick.

Did you answer correctly? Ready for this week now?

Tons of great events to check out. I’m looking forward to the Summer Solstice festival on Saturday. If you’re there and see me in a GCG shirt, come say hi!
