Microfinance: A development approach which provides very small loans directly to poor individuals or families in poor areas so that they can start small businesses or expand their already-existing businesses. -- (From Routledge.com)

Kiki: A party including good music and good friends, held for the express purpose of calming nerves, reducing anxiety and stress and generally fighting ennui. -- (From UrbanDictionary.com)

It's good to do good. It's good to meet new people, hang out and listen to music, and sample excellent local beers. It's a kiki when all of those things converge for one amazing night.

The beer tasting will feature the Denver Beer Co., with their limited edition “Pineapple Micro Brew," as well as other Micro Breweries: Odell Brewing Co., Crazy Mountain Brewery, Downslope Distilling, and more! There'll be live music by DJ Flash Gordon and delicious appetizers, too. Fresh City Life will be on hand to demonstrate finger-knitting and to supply some fun SWAG.
