Event Description

Come out and celebrate your hard work and accomplishments as a social worker or social work student with colleagues in Hamilton and area! We'll enjoy a lovely meal together at Spring Grill House that we'll grill ourselves at the dinner table while socializing and connecting. Afterwards, we will engage in an evening of mystery, puzzles and intrigue as we visit a nearby escape room. This will be an evening you won't want to miss! Food and non-alcoholic drinks will be covered by OASW.

You have the option to attend dinner, the escape room, or both! Register by March 15!
