A look at our group in action


Choosing Events
WE WANT VARIETY!!!
We'll add things that interest us and ANYONE can suggest an event. We may not get to them right away but they are added to the event list and we continue to look for venues that match your suggestions.


Signing-up

It's easy to sign-up for our group. Hopefully we won't need to worry about asking anyone to leave the group but if you harass members via e-mail we will have to ask you to leave.

So many groups have hundreds of "Members" yet very few participants. We don't want to become one of those groups. We realize that everyone can't participate in every event, but make this a vibrant group by attending!



RSVP's
We REALLY appreciate it when people RSVP "Yes" or "No" for events. You won't see a lot of "maybe" options as you're either going to be there or not. So if you are the type who wants to wait and see if something better is going to come along, just go ahead and RSVP "No".

We use this information to prepare the event and to gauge interest. If you sign-up as a "No', that's cool, we understand. It's perfectly ok to say "no" and then change your RSVP to "yes" if you find that you can attend.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO RSVP. If you aren't sure how drop us a line, we're always happy to help.

We understand that things happen, which may prevent you from attending an event that you RSVP'd Yes to but if it happens more than 3 times we reserve the right to change your RSVP to a No for full events.

Cost
Meetup charges us to use their system to organize events. Additionally, from time to time we offer door prizes for events. We're not rich so to cover our costs, we generally charge a $2 per event fee.

We will do our best to provide you with an average cost for dinner events and will always provide you with the cost for tickets to events such as a comedy show or play.

You're responsible for your own food and bar tab at all dining events. Please don't leave the organizers with the bill.


Solicitation
Relationship networking is an excellent business development tool but we do ask that you refrain from mailing the members of the group to solicit business. To sponsor an event or advertise on this site, please e-mail the organizer.

If you send us spam, your name will IMMEDIATELY be removed from the membership list. Again, please contact the organizer for advertisement and event sponsorship opportunities.
