As always, it will be the great opportunity to end the month with like-minded individuals over food and drink (available by donation in Canadian or Calgary Dollars) that it has become known for. Arusha's Happy Hour is held on the last Friday of every month, starting at 5PM, at the Arusha Centre (call 270-3200 for location and directions) and usually profiles a local cause with a global focus in their InfoActive Library.
