Where and When Do we meet?

Where and When Do We Meet?

We gather on the first Tuesday of each month in the private room at El Vallarta Mexican Restaurant in Concord. It is located at Carolina Mall, beside Northeast Medical Center. We have the private room reserved. Most of our participants order dinner while we meet, but that is totally optional. Our sessions begin at 6:00pm, and end by 8:00.

Schedule Change

Due to the Bonfire Grille being closed for a private event, January's session of Socrates Café will take place on the following Tuesday.  Therefore - instead of January 7th, we will meet at the Bonfire on Tuesday, January 14th at the normal time (6:00-8:00pm).  Sorry for the inconvenience.
