My preliminary calendar of events


Here are the cheap and free events and activities that I have come up with so far. I know that as the month goes on, I will find other great things to do. There are a few meetings for different things I am involved in here too, trying to give an accurate idea of what my month looks like. For me, I find that sort of thing fun and I think it makes me more well-rounded, so I included them. It may not be your thing, and that's OK, there are still plenty of fun, cheap events for everyone.
