All About the Moon! From Fat Fridays

Each Fat Fridays Virtual Social Club (presented by NAAFA and hosted by me!) involves a themed discussion and game. The following information came from our December 2022 gathering with the theme of the Moon. What you’ll find in this list is a collaborative effort from our group discussions.

Want to join in on the fun? RSVP for our next event here!
