There’s an open seat for you this week. Here are a few places to start:

- Join a Saturday potluck in Madison or Grafton.
- Get outside with the Granite Ruck crew in Candia on Sunday.
Wondering which gathering would be a good first stop? Email me and tell me where you’re located. I’d be happy to help you find one close to home.
