You're Invited: LEAD Happy Hour

Tomorrow is the longest day of the year, and the official start of summer! The LEAD Project invites you out to a happy hour benefiting The A-list and their activities for local teens, including youth employment opportunities, after-school programs, and supporting artistic expression and development. Join the fun on the Solera rooftop and raise a glass to supporting a good cause while having a good time!

It’s officially summer – and as the temperature continues to rise, so does the need for some drinks to quench your thirst. So, why not join LEAD at a summer Happy Hour to benefit a local nonprofit organization?
We hope you’ll join us on Thursday, June 21st from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Solera for some cocktails, complimentary appetizers and networking. We’ll be up on the second floor, with indoor and outdoor space depending on the weather and your mood.
The cost is $20, with the proceeds from the event benefiting The A-list.
In addition to supporting a great organization, you’ll get some delicious appetizers including chicken and beef pinchos, chicken croquetas, cheese, and fresh fruit and vegetables. We’ll also be giving away a few drink tickets – so be sure to bring your business cards (oh, and bring them for networking too!)
Not familiar with The A-list? Here’s some more information about them, in their own words!
The A-list’s mission is to provide a cool yet safe environment for teens to hang out and develop themselves personally and professionally in a youth-led environment. It’s based on a new and revolutionary model of youth engagement. We provide employment opportunities for youth through our snack and apparel business units. We run afterschool programs that promote education and employment. We host evening events for teens to build and showcase their talents such as dances, battle of the bands, open mic nights, and hip hop classes.
