Sunday Night Dance/Music Party!

Do you love meeting new people?
Do you love board games?
Do you want to meet other gamers?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this event is for you!

Join us for Meet, Greet, and Play Night at House Rules Lounge at 6:00PM on Tuesdays.

The lounge features a full bar that includes wine & cocktails, plus 20 draft beverages ranging across coffee, soda, cider, mead, and of course beer. The lounge also has a library of hundreds of games we can play.

This will be a super casual night, Feel free to show up solo or as a group. Also feel free to bring your own games or use our library. This event is all about showing up, seeing who else is here, and then choosing games to play. These events are more about having a good time than who wins. All experience levels are invited to play. The games played vary based on the interest of who’s there. Showing up solo? No problem! Don’t know the game? No problem! Someone in the group can teach you how to play.

They're bringing Hook to Wealthy Theatre, a childhood favorite!

We might grab dinner nearby first, location depending on the number of folks interested – let me know in the comments if you'd like to grab dinner around 6:00p.

Buy your ticket [here](https://grcmc.vbotickets.com/event/Hook_Tuesday_Night_Movie/157519) soon. CMC members get a discount on tickets and are able to purchase drinks with alcohol (the annual [membership](https://grcmc.org/membership/why) is cheap).

From the theatre site: "When his young children are abducted by his old nemesis, Capt. Hook (Dustin Hoffman), middle-aged lawyer Peter Banning (Robin Williams) returns to his magical origins as Peter Pan. Peter must revisit a foggy past in which he abandoned Neverland for family life, leaving Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts) and the Lost Boys to fend for themselves. Given their bitterness toward Peter for growing up - and their allegiance to their new leader, Rufio - the old gang may not be happy to see him."

**Find comfort in creativity:** Join us at Schuler Books Cafe for a low-pressure social experience designed with shy and socially anxious people in mind. Having an activity to focus on makes socializing so much easier!

**How it works:** Bring your favorite coloring books, art supplies, or any activity you enjoy (Nintendo Switch, card games, knitting - anything goes!). The activity gives you something to concentrate on while conversation happens naturally around you - no awkward silence, no pressure to maintain eye contact or constant chat.

**Shy-friendly promises:**

* No introductions to the whole group required
* Come and go as you please
* Participate in conversation only when you feel comfortable
* Activities provide a natural buffer and conversation starter

**Too anxious to walk in alone?** We understand completely. Message us when you arrive, and a friendly greeter will meet you at your car to walk in with you. Many of our regular members started this way!

**Everyone welcome:** While this event is designed with shy folks in mind, we welcome anyone who enjoys a calm, judgment-free environment. The West MI Social Club from Facebook will be joining us too.

**What to bring:** Your favorite coloring books and supplies (or Schuler's sells these if needed). Feel free to bring other activities instead - whatever helps you feel comfortable.

**Look for:** The Meetup sign in the cafe area.

**Take your journey further:** Discover our original and in-depth program for overcoming social anxiety and building meaningful connections through our YouTube channel: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVhrbTYkCPs&list=PL7dZ0pbrV6fTSANlyWr58fqm-Wejf0OjT](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVhrbTYkCPs&list=PL7dZ0pbrV6fTSANlyWr58fqm-Wejf0OjT)

*"I sat in my car for 20 minutes before my first event, but then I never missed an event for years. The coloring and activities made all the difference." -* Krystle (our former host that moved away in 2022)
