Happy 901 Day!

MSCA MONTHLY DINNER GATHERING

Tonight, September 1, 2026, we will gather at Garibaldi’s Pizza, 3530 Walker Ave, by the University of Memphis, from 6 – 8 pm. Some of us show up a little earlier sometimes if you want to come early.

Katie Jones connected us to the Alpha Omega Veterans Center, and they are looking for comics – original publications by us, old copies of comic books and graphic novels – and if you have any you can donate, please bring this to the next dinner meeting and give to Kevin.

Also, bring along art to show and money to buy food. Garibaldi’s has great pizza, pasta, sandwiches, beverages and more.

We meet on the first Tuesday of each month from 6-8pm Garibaldi’s Pizza, and we’ve had some amazing turnout for our meet-ups this year.

We look forward to seeing you there!
