Who is this:

• This event is hosted by a group that goes by "Sacramento Polyamory/CNM." Your in person host is Sarah.

How much is this:

• Always free. You will be invited to donate, never expected to.
• There is a cost to the host, as it is a private rented space. If you can help me keep this event going, $5/person can go a far way to making that happen. If you can give more to cover those who can't, we all thank you!!

Public venue where as a group we are "visible" (even have a planted Polyamory Pride Fag on site!). This group has been doing socials here for many years. Just find the Name-Tags, that's us! Everyone with one is attending this event. The host of the event will have "HOST" on their name-tag.

This a non-structured, laid back, social event. There is alcohol served on site, as well as non-alcoholic options There is food served right next-door and sometimes on site. Purchase is encouraged but never expected or necessary for attendance. Sharing is caring (safely of course, be mindful of germs and allergies)!

The event is comprised on newbies, those "in the life-style for a while," observers, and really the whole spectrum of Non-Monogamy expression as well as stages along the journey. All are welcome.

Consent(F.R.I.E.S) is expected to be actively sought as often as is appropriate. Violations of consent a well as lack of requesting it are encouraged to be reported if possible, by any means

Event for the local Poly/CNM community and those curious who want to learn more. These events are also hosted on: Fetlife, Facebook, Plura, Eventbrite, and Discord. All of our events are LGBTQIA+ and BDSM safe spaces but not exclusive to those communities.

What to Expect:

• Hosted in a Taproom on Broadway, you'll come inside and immediately see our group. We'll all have name-tags and will likely be the only large group. Come say hi, grab a name-tag, and sit where ever you feel comfortable. One of us will usually offer you to sit with one of the larger table groups, or to sit where ever and observe and hangout. There is no structure, no agenda, no right or wrong questions, just meeting others who think alike.

• Newcomers are always enthusiastically welcomed! Nervous? Anxiety sucks, but we're here! We're not mean, I swear. Just come in and meet others who don't live monogamously.

When does it start:

• I usually show up to grab the tables and set up around 3:45. The event starts at 4pm. Doors close at 8pm. You can absolutely come in at any time and leave whenever you need to!

Who is this:

• Our venue, Bike Dog, is a taproom serving various beer, ciders, and sodas. We are known here as the "Poly Night" group, and that is written on our table reserved signs. This event is hosted by a group that goes by "Sacramento Polyamory/CNM." Your in person host is Sarah.

**How much is this:**

• Always free! No entry fee, no purchase necessary, no hat passed.

• If you have the means you are encouraged to support our amazing workers at Bike Dog, they have yummy stuff! Throwing something in the Tip Jar is also a way for our group to make an even better impression. But no is ever turned away from my events, shamed, or looked at differently for lack of funds.

• Hosting, advertising, planning, executing, engaging the community, and all of this takes time and oftentimes resources on my end though. If you can help me keep doing what I do here: https://gofund.me/fba286dc
