A rainy evening, moved indoors

Attendance was limited to 50 people. The evening turned rainy, and the weather kept the social inside — the MBA wrote afterward that Gather's common area offered plenty of space to reconnect with familiar faces and make new acquaintances.

Triple Crossing's beer — Falcon Smash and Bright Lights — helped quench everyone's thirst, while 101 Crafthouse's pizza whet the appetite. The MBA closed its recap with thanks to sponsor BeneFinder, which it described as a source for Employee Benefits and Payroll/HR systems.
