mHUB Member Appreciation Day
mHUB Member Appreciation Day is a full-day experience designed to celebrate and show gratitude for the members and community that make mHUB what it is. Throughout the day, we’ll host a series of light, engaging activations intended to bring people together, spark connection, and say thank you in a meaningful way.
We’ll kick off the day at 9:00 AM with the Munchkin Kickoff, followed by a Midday Milkshakes & Ice Cream Social at 12:00 PM, and close out with an end-of-day Mixer & Mingle at 4:00 PM. Each activation offers a chance to step away from work, connect with fellow members, and enjoy moments of community throughout the day.
Members will receive a ticket at each activation they attend. Those who participate in all three events will be entered into a raffle to win a box of Red Bull or a tool kit.
Not a member? This all-day event is a great opportunity to connect with the mHUB community and experience it firsthand. When registering, please select the “Public Ticket” option.
This day is all about appreciation—celebrating our members, their energy, and the community we continue to build together every day.
