Welcome to First Thursdays in Columbia (FTIC)!
This is a monthly event on the first Thursday of every month in Columbia, Maryland. Everyone is welcome! We've been sharing caching stories together at this event since June 2017. We use FTIC to meet fellow cachers, plan trips, recommend caches, give tips, and just enjoy each other's company. This month we will be meeting on Thursday, May 7th from 6:30PM-8:00PM.
Weather permitting, we will meet in a nice outdoor area near Whole Foods Market off Little Patuxent Parkway. There is a nearby parking garage in case of sudden rain. If rain is predicted for the start of the event, we'll meet in the food court inside Whole Foods -- in that case, I'll make an announcement no later than 30 minutes before the event starts.
There are a number of outdoor benches to sit on in the gathering area, but you may want to bring a chair.
Hope to see you there!
