Section 03. On venues

A lot of adoptee and diaspora events default to breweries. That does not work for everyone here — some of you are under 21, some do not drink, and some just want to hear the person across the table.

So the default is coffee shops, libraries, community centres, parks, restaurants, universities, and video calls. Alcohol-serving venues are an option, not the baseline.
