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, November 5th from 6:30PM-8:00PM.
We will meet in the food court inside Whole Foods. Go inside and walk to the back left side of the building and there's a small dining area where we'll meet.
Hope to see you there!
🍁 Thankful for Geocaching 🍂: November is a month for giving thanks, and this month we'll celebrate the friendships, adventures, and memories that geocaching has brought into our lives.
Pull out and wear your favorite Thanksgiving turkey shirt! Consider this your practice run for the big day. This year, you'll get to wear it TWICE! (Bonus points if your turkey shirt is trackable! 😉)
We'll have a raffle, and you will have an opportunity to add a "Thankful for Geocaching" message and share something geocaching has brought into your life: ❤️ A friendship, 🌎 A place you discovered, 😄 A favorite memory, or 🧭 A reason you keep caching. 🍁 Anything you're thankful for.
