Name: 🍺 Red, Wine, and Beer! 4 City All Day Wine and Beer Tour 🍷
Start: 2025-08-02T14:00:00.000Z
Location: Meijer

**A comfortable space for quiet connections:** Join us at Cafe Boba for a relaxed gathering designed especially for those of us who find social situations challenging. No pressure to be the center of attention - just a calm environment where you can connect at your own pace.

**Good to know:** This event is posted in 3 different West Michigan groups, so actual attendance will be higher than what's shown here.

**Shy-friendly atmosphere:** We keep conversations optional and group sizes small. Many of our regular attendees started out feeling nervous about socializing but found our supportive community the perfect place to gradually build confidence.

**Easy arrival:** Look for our table sign when you arrive - no need to announce yourself or introduce yourself to the whole group at once. The cafe staff knows us, so simply mention our Meetup group for a 10% discount on your order.

**Take it slow:** Feel free to listen more than you speak. Our members understand and respect different comfort levels with social interaction.

**Community values:** As part of the International Friend Connection network (active in over 50 cities), we're committed to creating safe spaces where everyone feels welcome, following Meetup's community guidelines.

Wondering if this is right for you? Many current members once asked the same question!

Visit [https://internationalfriendconnection.com/](https://internationalfriendconnection.com/) for more information, or message us with any concerns - we're happy to answer questions before you decide to attend.

Please watch our free classes and subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can learn our original and in-depth program to overcome social anxiety, learn to connect with other people, and live the life that you deserve.

Meet Other Shy Friends

Cafe Boba

Let’s grab coffee, tea, or frozen drink and hang out with very nice people. Enjoy chatting, make friends, practice social skills, and have fun!

Feel free to bring games, coloring/crafts, or any activity to make you comfortable!

As always, we are going to meet at Sweetwater in Ann Arbor.

New members are always welcome!

We usually stay until 9 pm, the cafe is closed. Come and go anytime.

This is a safe place with nonjudgemental people in a relaxed setting. There is nothing to hide or feel ashamed about. We all understand each other and can sympathize.

Coming to our events is the first step! We just chat about casual topics. We never force you to speak up in our group. If you are still too anxious to come to the meeting, please feel free to contact me.

You don’t want to talk? It’s ok. You can just sit and listen to other people. You can enjoy coffee, tea, pastries, sandwiches, and many other things.

Check out the menu!

**Are you watching your son drift further away each day?**
If you're walking on eggshells during conversations, getting shut down when you try to help, or lying awake worrying about his future, you're not alone.

**Join David Good** (Certified Professional Coach, Presidential Medal recipient, Point of Light, and founder of the 40,000+ member, 50 chapter, International Friend Connection) for a game-changing workshop that reveals:

✓ The real reason your son pulls away (it's not your fault)
✓ How to turn tense moments into trust-building opportunities
✓ Communication strategies that actually work - without pressure or confrontation
✓ The step-by-step method to rebuild connection, even after years of distance

**If my parents had known this, it would have saved us decades of unhappiness!**

**This isn't therapy - it's parent education.** You'll learn what your son experiences and needs, with most parents seeing improvements without their son even knowing they attended.

David speaks from personal experience - he's Autistic/Asperger's and has been exactly where your son is now. His proven approach has helped families reconnect, regardless of age (works for sons 18 to 48+).

**What you'll get:**

* Complete live workshop access
* Private replay for convenient viewing
* Comprehensive PDF guide with proven strategies
* Live Q&A to address your specific situation
* 30-day money-back guarantee

**Reserve your spot now** and get the tools you need to finally break through and reconnect with your son.

**IMPORTANT:** Due to the sensitive nature of the information that we will reveal, we are not able to host this workshop on any public platform.
