Thanks to Lisa for suggesting and hosting this fantastic ongoing pickleball event for our group!

Agape has opened this session up to the public, with the following title "**Friday: 7:00 – 9:00 P.M.** (Women’s Drills & Rotational Play) – **$15 / DROP IN**\.\|"\. This happened because we haven't had enough regular participation to justify a Coach\. When we have at least eight women from our meetup group on a regular basis\, then we can justify a private group\.

We will do our best to match up with players close to your skill level, so the games are as competitive as possible.

**PLEASE ESTABLISH AN ACCOUNT WITH AGAPE TENNIS CENTER by going to the office at your first event and registering. Be aware that this could take a few minutes.** After that, they will take attendance and can just bill your card on file.

Please have at least some experience with play in a working knowledge of the rules and flow of the game.

Let's up our game while having a ball!

**IMPORTANT SIGN UP INFORMATION**

We have reserved two courts so PLEASE, be thoughtful about your reservations. Although there is no deadline, please try to sign up by Thursday at noon, which will help us manage the event and ensure we have enough courts. Right now, we have two courts just for us!

Format:

1 hour of clinic with our coach

1 hours of drills/open play

Drills/Open play - groups based on skill level as much as possible.

Fee: $12.50 price will increase to $15 soon.

We will be playing every Friday after that until further notice as long as we have enough attendance.

I hope this excites you as much as it excites us!!

See you there,

Lisa

I have been asked by many women from our community to host another free friendship webinar because they missed the last two that I hosted.

This online event is for queer women looking to cultivate deep lifelong platonic friendships. VIDEO MUST BE ON TO PARTICIPATE.

I am inspired by the works of Marisa G. Franco (Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make and Keep Friends), Kelly McDaniel (Mother Hunger) and Shasta Nelson (Frientimacy: How To Deepen Friendships For Lifelong Health and Happiness) and understand the complexities of the women loving women community so I will encompass this perspective.

Here is the video to watch before you attend this webinar:

Additional Notes:
1\. The zoom meeting will be locked out 10 minutes after the start time\.
2\. Please stay muted\.
3\. Video must remain on the entire 90 minutes\.
4\. Please keep all questions for the end so I can get through the material\.

After this online event please meetup message me with your email address if you would like the handouts from the Making and Keeping Friends webinar.

RSVP Yes or meetup message me to receive the zoom meeting link.

Thank you for caring about friendship building! I look forward to spending time with you!

Making and Keeping Friends Webinar for Queer Women (Free)

Hello book lovers! Let’s read and discuss – **The Brutal Truth, by Lee Winter.** Australian crime reporter Maddie Grey is out of her depth in New York, miserable, and secretly drawn to her powerful, twice-married, media mogul boss, Elena Bartell, who eats failing newspapers for breakfast. As work takes them to Australia, Maddie is goaded into a brief, seemingly harmless bet with her enigmatic boss—where they have to tell the complete truth to each other. It backfires catastrophically. A lesbian romance about the lies we tell ourselves.

· **360 pages. (11 hours and 42 minutes on audio.) Plan accordingly.**

Ready for some Winter.… - Jo Jo 😉

**NOTES FOR MEETING**
**Please be prompt, at 7 pm Pacific, and plan to stay until we close out as a group or at 8:30 pm Pacific.** *We open with a short icebreaker within a few minutes of the start tim*e, which is great for getting to know one another better. Arriving late or leaving early “individually” can distract the group discussion, so arriving on time and staying until 8:30 pm Pacific, is appreciated. We do occasionally stay later but if you need to bow out then, no worries. And…we could finish early. (Early has not happened, but I am just saying it could. Lol.)

\* **It is a social event so please have your video ON.** It is also for transparency and peace of mind for all our members in this Zoom world.

**WHERE:** Zoom - Attendees will receive a private link and password on the day of the event. I will post a comment when I have sent it. Please do not share or post the link or your password.

Make sure your Meet Up notification setting for email is on for this group. (If you saw this book discussion announced via email, your setting is on. ;))

**WHAT TO BRING**
Bring your sweet self, any notes that you may want to share, and your favorite beverage. :)

\- YES RSVPs\, if you can't make it\, please take a moment to change your RSVP to NOT GOING asap\. It is just a courteous thing to do\. :\)

\*\* **If you are new to zoom, watch this video. Make sure to watch the video to the end.** (A little over 5 minutes.) A senior does a great job of showing the various items you will want to know about. It is easy! Really. [https://youtu.be/kh50kVaIdAY](https://youtu.be/kh50kVaIdAY)

Slip into something comfortable, enjoy your dinner, grab your favorite drink and join us for an evening of getting to know one another. When you enter the zoom room please have your video on. Feel free to rename to your first name (or nickname) and the city that you are zooming in from.

I will be hosting a get-to-know-you-game where each member asks a question and answers a question. You can choose to answer a simple question such as "What is your favorite color and why?" or to answer a deep dive question such as "Tell us about your first kiss". I will start off first by answering a question and demonstrating how the get-to-know-you game goes.

This is a fun way to know a little bit more about your fellow members and hopefully you will deepen current friendships or create new ones. This online event will be cross-posted so there will be more participants than the headcount posted here. RSVP yes to receive the zoom link. Your video must be on to participate!
