Don't Forget to Join us this Friday for Happy Hour with Reason and SFL!
I just finalized the menu selections for this Friday's happy hour and wanted to remind all Philly Torch readers to head to Smokin' Betty's on the 28th after work. Stop by, not only because the food will be delicious, but because our friends from Reason are making the trek up from DC to join us. The Philadelphia Students for Liberty groups will also be out, so mark it on your calendar and come have a drink with us on Friday from 5 to 7.
See you there!
