About us
What is Excursions by the Bay?
We are a social club for single adults of all ages that sponsors about 70 fun events each year all over the Bay Area! This includes dance parties, speed dating, cocktail parties, wine tastings, etc.
All of our events are fundraisers for The Seva Foundation, to restore sight to the blind. Every $50 we raise finances a cataract surgery in one of 20 poor countries around the world! So you can have fun at the parties, meet new friends, and cure blind people at the same time!
Please spread the word to all of your single friends about this fun meetup.
Discounts for all of our parties can be found on our main website at www.thepartyhotline.com.
See you at the parties!

P.S. I met my wife, Debby Gosse, at one of my parties. Hope you will all be so lucky!
