Keep your RSVP up-to-date
The best thing you can do as a Member is RSVP to Meetups. It is really important to RSVP as soon as possible for an upcoming Meetup. Organizers count on Members to let them know beforehand if they will or will not be attending. They use this information to make reservations or to choose an appropriate venue.
It is equally important to keep your RSVP up to date. If you realize that you can't attend a Meetup, please change your RSVP right away. Otherwise the whole Group might end up waiting around for you to arrive! You might even be taking up one of a limited number of 'Yes' spots on the list, so changing your RSVP may open up a new spot for another Member who is hoping to attend. Also, it helps keep your membership in good standing -- habitual "no shows" will be removed from the group.
Invite Your Friends!
You will have even more fun, and so will they!
Send Greetings!
Welcome, thank or rave to members by posting a greeting on their profile. (But first, one of our rules is that your profile must have a recent photo of you as your primary photo before communicating with other members.)
Create and Lead Your Own Event!
Attend a few of our events first to get a feel for how things work. Then email the organizer to learn how to get started.
Add Your Photos
Our event photo system is automated so anyone can submit photos from any event.
Come Back!
RSVP POLICY
If you have RSVPed "Yes" for an event, please be sure to show up! Being a person we can rely on is what we love and keeps good karma on your side!
What can you do in the rare event that you cannot make it to a meetup which you have RSVPed "yes"?
- Change your RSVP as soon as possible!
- IF LESS THAN 24 HOURS before the meetup, please send a personal email to the organizer of the event (go to the calendar, find the meetup, click on the organizer's name, send an email). OR call the organizer's phone number if provided. It's polite and helps to keep your good karma going, and the organizer won't have to wonder what happened to you.
Please note: It is most important to keep your RSVP up-to-date for any event where space is limited.
BTW, we DO track no-shows, so for any future event we may prefer other people over those who have been "no shows" in the past. We may also prefer people with real photos posted of themselves since from our experience they are more likely to attend.
Thank you for doing your part to making Eastside Single Meetup a friendly and fun group to hang out with!
DO's and DON'Ts
- DO use your real first name, first name and intial, or initials and last name.
- DO KEEP YOUR RSVP UP-TO-DATE. Often space is reserved and limited, so an accurate count is needed. As the event approaches,

- DO NOT email someone that you have not met in person
- DO NOT send ANY greetings if you don't yet have a picture on your profile
- DO NOT send a second greeting/email if your first one was not reciprocated
- DO NOT send emails/greetings to promote a business
- DO NOT go to a specific event's page and tell people about an alternative event happening at the same time.
- DO report members "creeping you out"
- The Organizer WILL remove any member that makes other members feel unsafe, violates group rules,meetup terms of service, or is disruptive to the harmony of the group
- A person that has been removed from our group is not eligible to attend events as a guest of another member.
- Organizers of our events have the last say and may remove members from events or this group for any reason.
- Organizers will delete comments or postings on our web pages that they feel are inappropriate
Organizers take care in organizing events, but please remember that you participate at your own risk.
