Join Read & Run Chicago special projects volunteers at First Sip Cafe in Uptown for a casual evening of movement and BYOC (bring your own crafts!).
Read & Run Chicago celebrates Chicago using movement and stories, and this time, our special projects volunteers are bringing you a casual evening of movement, BYOC (that's bring your own crafts!), and supporting a small business.
Whether you consider yourself a book lover or just want to move your body and enjoy an evening of crafts, you are welcome with us!
RSVP:
Here's how it works:
6:00 PM – Meet at First Sip Cafe (1057 W Argyle) to drop off your crafts
6:05 PM – Move your way (Walk at a 20:00-25:00 min/mile pace or run at a ~12:00-13:00 minute per mile pace)
6:30 PM – Return to First Sip Cafe to grab a drink and start your craft of choice
Whether you join for one or both portions of the event, you are invited to celebrate Chicago, reading, and our programming!
Other details:
Bag drop: You'll be able to leave items at First Sip while you're walking/running - one of our volunteers will be watching your stuff! (Please leave valuables at home)
Bring your own craft (BYOC): Bring whatever creative endeavor you want to work on. Writing postcards? Great. Watercolors? Fun. Embroidery? Cool.
Inclement weather plan: If it becomes unsafe to walk or run outdoors, we will cancel the movement portion and meet at 6:30 PM for the crafting portion of the evening.
