Tomorrow: Casino-Free happy hour!

How many times have you explained to friends and family why you are against casinos in Philly? How has that explanation changed as your understanding of casinos deepened?

With six years behind us and the newest Blatstein harebrained Inquirer building idea and Mayor Nutter's most recent parroting of the casino lobbyists talking points, we've got a lot to reflect on and discuss.

Join us tomorrow, Friday evening from 5:00 to 8:00 PM for a Casino-Free Philly happy hour, celebrating nearly six years of fighting for a better city, and talking about ways we can take the fight forward!

We'll be gathering at the A-Space, 4722 Baltimore Avenue in West Philly, which is currently hosting an exhibit of Casino-Free's banners, photographs and artwork from years past. (If you have some you'd like to contribute, please contact us and let us know!)

We'll have some food and drinks to share, but feel free to bring something to share as well.

Join us this Friday as we take a look back and a leap forward! You can also RSVP on Facebook and share this invitation with your friends.

Can't make it, but want to show your support and help us hit the summer running? Make a donation!
