Hey Intellectuals!

Welcome to the Sandy Springs Intellectual Dinner Club! If you're wondering what you've gotten yourself into, here's a peek into 2026.

First, the "intellectual" part of our name doesn't mean we all have PhDs, it just means we sometimes enjoy a deep dive into complex or meaningful subjects rather than small talk about the weather, sports, or celebrities.

Second, this Club is for you! Tell me what you want to do, eat, and talk about. I've chosen some things to get us started, and prefer to keep most events in Sandy Springs, so but would love to hear what excites you about meeting up! Thank you to everyone's suggestions in 2024 & 2025!

Third, we are all strangers here to meet new people and to express ourselves. It's up to us to keep an open mind and to put into the group what you want to get out of it. After all, there's no Dinner Club without you all!

Fourth, we are a relatively new club - only two years old, and while we've worked out some kinks, we still might make a few mistakes, so I ask your forgiveness in advance.

Fifth and lastly, since Meetup.com charges about $360/yr for us to use their app, and quiet private spaces can cost anywhere from $50-$250, and other ideas cost money like catering, our annual member dues of $5 per member will help cover those costs so the group can exist! The app will collect fees online, I set a free trial period of 4 weeks, if it's not paid then the app kicks you out, and you can come back later. I'll post the receipts in the group photos.

I'm excited to meetup with you all this year, talk about some juicy brain-bending stuff,* and eat some good food!

*Note that I am a staunch believer in the Oxford comma and if you don't use it, you might as well leave the group now.**
