What we’re about
Thank you for interest in joining Eat Drink & Be Merry (ED&BM) whose members are fun-loving adults (age 50 and beyond) interested in meeting new friends and doing what we do best -- eating, drinking, and talking (a variety of conversations at a variety of restaurant). We focus on supporting local business owners.
At this time, as a group, we do not return to a restaurant we've already enjoyed since new restaurants open almost every year and established restaurants are discovered in Peoria and surrounding towns.
Please note, membership dues each year are $20 to help offset the cost of this group. since the Meetup organization charges for groups. It is greatly appreciated when members volunteer to host events though it isn't a requirement. Those who choose to host events will receive a 50% discount their membership dues the following year. I will work with those who want to host events.
Regards,
Sheila B
Meetup Organizer for the Eat Drink & Be Merry group (ED&BM)
