Every Good Ones event is different – whether it’s different people, different themes, or different venues. One thing they all have in common? At each event, they select a cause that is doing great work and help raise awareness for their brand. This week’s cause was Horizons for Homeless Children. Members were asked to bring one of two wooden puzzles to the event.

The Avery Bar offers the “Avery 10”, 10 variations to the classic martini – dry, dirty and sweet to name a few. Light bites at the bar include a cheese board, charcuterie, a meatball hoagie and flatbreads.
