2015 Planning Meeting tomorrow night at Butapub

Calling all YUPs! With input from the YUPs who attended our last Open Meeting back in September, we’ve sketched out a slew of awesome events and activities for 2015. Now we need your help to implement them! Thursday, Feb. 5th is your chance to get involved with the Young Urban Preservationists and help make a difference here in Rochester and in communities across our region. This is an open and welcoming meeting–if you’ve been thinking about getting involved, now is the perfect time!
