Where: Cactus Cloud Cafe in downtown Phoenix
“The best way to build a neighborhood is by having a third space like @cactuscloudcafe to meet at weekly! Join us every Friday from 7AM to 9AM, before the workday begins, even if it’s just to stop by and say hi to neighbors. No pressure if you can’t make it!”
🏃 Free Community Workout + Social Hour
When: Wednesday, Aug. 26, 6:45 p.m.
Where: Orangetheory Fitness in downtown Phoenix
