Wild Wing Night
by Danica Swaenepoel 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hello everyone, We were thinking of doing a night out at Wild Wing (new restaurant that just opened on Pembina across from the university) one night this week. We discussed going on either Wednesday (March 25th) or Friday (March 27th) if these dates work for people. Let me know if you are interested in coming, and whether or not these dates work for you. We can always plan something in a following week if it works for more people. Thanks!! Danica
