\*\*This event is open to members AND non-members\*\*

Calling all newcomers to the Trying to Adult RVA community! Are you eager to meet new friends and expand your social circle? Join us for our monthly New Friend Social, an informal and friendly gathering designed exclusively for those who have attended three or fewer "Trying to Adult RVA" events.

At this exciting event, you'll be greeted with an inclusive and welcoming environment where you can connect with fellow new members who share your enthusiasm for exploring the RVA area and making new friends. Whether you've recently moved to Richmond or are simply looking to expand your social network, this is the perfect opportunity to make lasting connections and build new friendships.

Our New Friend Leads and other Trying to Adult RVA leadership team volunteers who have attended multiple Trying to Adult RVA events will also join these socials and can provide guidance on other TTA events and happenings.

**Please Note**: To ensure a comfortable environment for all participants, this event is exclusively for those who have attended three or fewer Trying to Adult RVA events. If you meet this criteria, we welcome you and look forward to helping you forge meaningful connections.

This is a free event, however you will need to claim a ticket in order to attend as attendance is limited. If you can no longer attend after claiming a spot, please let the event host know via a message or comment. Last minute RSVP changes are hard to fill so please change your RSVP and notify us at least 24 hours in advance. Please make sure you read the group rules. We have a policy around no-shows!

Strangeways has a parking lot on site. Be sure you go to the Dabney Road location as there are other locations in Richmond.

Looking to meet new people without the awkward small talk? We’ve got you covered. Join us at Hardywood for a laid-back evening of drinks, laughs, and our newest social experiment: *Buy Me a Question*.

We’ll be posted up under Hardywood’s beautiful gazebos, the perfect outdoor spot to mingle with fellow fun-seekers. You’ll be handed some **funny money** at the door — your currency for connection. Spend your fake cash to "buy" conversation questions from others, or make a deal to sell them your own. The goal? Meet as many people as possible, learn something new, and maybe even trade up to a drink if the vibes are right. 🍺😉

No stress, no pressure — just easy, low-key interactions designed to spark real conversations.

🍹 **Drinks:** Beer, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options available for purchase

This is a hetero-focused singles event. To ensure a balanced number of participants, we will have **designated tickets for men and women.** Please select the correct ticket when signing up!

This event is open to members of Trying to Adult RVA and non-members!
Price to join is $15 for premium members, $20 for members, and $25 for non-members. Spots are first purchased first confirmed. Space is limited to 30 people.

**You can purchase your ticket [here](https://tryingtoadultrva.com/event/hardywood-singles-mixerjune-13th-300pm/).**

Once all spots are claimed and the event is sold out, those unpaid will be moved to the waitlist on Meetup.

Parking: there are parking lots on site!
