Calgary Nature and Social Adventures

Welcome to Calgary Nature and Social Adventures!
We are a non-profit group run by volunteers. We welcome members to attend in-person events, and the Group Organizer may also offer online events and webinars.

This is not a dating group. Private messaging for any reason without first meeting them in person is usually poorly received and could result in complaints and your removal from this group. No soliciting!

We pay MeetUp fees for our website of roughly $260.90 in February and August of each year. To pay for these fees, an Annual Membership Fee of $12.00 is required, which is only one dollar per month!
If you pay by credit card, unfortunately, MeetUp will charge you $12 USD, and I am unable to change that.

There are options to pay the annual fee.

1. **by e-transfer to dawnerath@gmail.com**
2. by cash at an event before your paid year expires.
3. by credit card at the end of your 14-day trial period.

If you cannot attend an event, please change your RSVP to "Not Going" or message the host to change it for you.

Make sure that you do not collect too many "NO SHOWS" on your profile.
Our purpose is to provide opportunities for singles and couples

1. to attend events that they normally would not do alone,
2. to attend events they have never attended before,
3. who are new to town and are ready to explore,
4. to make new friends.

To become and remain a member of our group, please

• To post your first name AND either the first initial or full surname.
• Post a recognizable photo of only you. (This is an important safety measure and allows our Organizers and Members to recognize you when we meet.)
