Return to Old Neighborhood Pub
• Optional wrap-up drinks
• Vote for best soup 🏆
Pro tips: dress in clothes comfortable to walk see in. Share soup when possible to prevent gorging yourself. This is also good for if you need to plan to be cost effective.
Optional: SECOND ANNUAL WARMING THE COLD round up. Donate your old coats, blankets, gloves, hats, hand warmers, thermos, whatever you’d like to donate.
I use the donated items to take downtown to find people who can use them! Feel free to donate at your free will.
