Get2KnowNoke Q2 Social @ Olde Salem Brewing in Salem, VA
Meet new people at a free, laid-back Q2 Social hosted at Olde Salem Brewing Company in Salem, VA. Created for young professionals in the Roanoke Region, this casual meetup builds on the strong energy from the last quarterly social and makes it easy to connect with new and familiar faces. Attendees are asked to RSVP and sign up for the Talent Network before arriving. Downtown parking may require extra time, so plan ahead.
Yoga at the Taubman
Settle into a calming yoga practice in the museum’s atrium, guided by local artist and instructor Bonny Branch. Please bring your own mat. Admission is $10 for the general public, $5 for museum members and youth, and free for museum volunteers. Sessions are scheduled outside normal museum hours. Enter through the security entrance at the back of the building, and plan to arrive a little early to check in and pay if you did not register online. Classes take place on a regular schedule, with possible cancellations on major holidays or during severe weather.

Share a low-pressure reading session with Silent Book Club Roanoke at Ursula’s Cafe. There is no assigned reading or pressure to have the perfect comment, just time to enjoy books alongside friendly faces and a drink. The flow is simple. Settle in, order a treat, and make casual introductions. Spend a quiet stretch reading, then wrap up with a group book photo and relaxed conversation. Ursula’s Cafe serves as a welcoming community hub with coffee, hearty soup, baked goods, and local entertainment. A donate-what-you-can approach helps feed and warm neighbors with dignity, while retail items and classes support the space. The warm, inviting atmosphere keeps people returning.
