We are continuing the dinner meetup tradition at Yo Sushi in downtown Kitchener, starting at 7pm. Note that this restaurant meeting is on a Monday. 

This is a supplementary informal meeting; we will still hold hybrid meetings for technical topics.

The restaurant is located at 103 King St W in Kitchener, at King near Ontario St. Here is a map. Parking at City of Kitchener parking lots is free after 5pm. The nearest City parking lots is at 40 Ontario St S.

You can probably just show up, but the organizers would find it helpful if you RSVPed to dinner@kwlug.org
