After reading the "About us" section, you must have decided we were a good match. LET THE FUN BEGIN! If you did NOT read the section, please read below...

—WELCOME! I encourage you to mingle and build long-lasting relationships. My weekday events are limited to 6-8 friends. I arrive 15 minutes early and sit at the table reserved under “Lora”. Feel free to look for me at the table (I will keep my profile pic updated). Regarding our table, I reserve in advance and prefer rounds whenever possible. I don’t want anyone left out of the conversation. :)

—ATTENDANCE POLICY: If you RSVP, please consider it a commitment (not a temporary hold). Once marked as “attending”, I respectfully ask you to avoid cancelations, no shows and late arrivals. If you frequently sign up and then cancel, you will be removed from the group. I realize this attendance policy is stricter than most groups, but my goal is to create a group of friends who rarely cancel.

—WAITLIST: If you are on the waitlist and spot becomes available, Meetup will AUTOMATICALLY move you into the event (you will NOT get a personal text or email). Suggestion, if you're on the waitlist, please mark it in your calendar (i.e. “Waitlisted for Dining with Friends”). If at any time, while still on the waitlist, you wish to make other plans, please remove yourself from the list. If you find you have been moved into the “attending” slot, please consider yourself committed to the event. My goal…once you are on the "attending" list, you will rarely cancel…just as you do when making plans with personal friends. :)

—ALWAYS THE EXCEPTION: If you are sick, cancel and send me a message.

—PROFILE PIC: This photo needs to be a recent picture of you. I face the door and like to give you a wave when you walk in.

If you find that your lifestyle does NOT lend itself to making committed plans, I encourage you to find a better match elsewhere. :) Thanks for your cooperation.
