Home is Where You Hang Your Hat!
UpaDowna has moved our office, again, but hopefully for the last time for awhile. We were VERY thankful for the space that Goat Patch Brewing provided for us inside the Lincoln Center, but they are now expanding (AWESOME!) so we found a new home. Our physical address is now in the Old Midland School at 815 S. 25th St. and we are in the same building as RMFI, across the street from Bott Park, and only 1 mile from Red Rock Canyon Open Space! While we won't have open office hours yet, we still invite you to come check it out on your own! It's quite beautiful and amazing so look for a few events to take place out of this space starting with our 3rd Saturday hike this month.
