Five events this week: D&D, brews and recovery

Reno is coming out in full force – events-wise – this week with community fundraisers, learning and fun, and an event that piqued our interest: Recovery Dharma, or Buddhist-based recovery. Also, the seventh Reno Women’s March, which draws thousands to downtown, is on Saturday.

(We recommend events below that are submitted to our calendar, which is becoming the area’s one-stop shop for all things Reno – and beyond. Add your event here. View all events here.)
