Smerconish Mingle Meetup Philadelphia #8

The Mingle Meetup – Round Eight!
Thursday, May 14, 5:30–8:00 p.m.
📍 El Poquito, Chestnut Hill
🍸 Happy Hour & Mingling from 5:30–6:00 p.m.
🗣️ Group Discussion begins at 6:00 p.m.

We’re excited to gather again for our eighth Philly Mingle Meetup and continue building on the great energy from past events. Each meetup has brought thoughtful conversation, new perspectives, and a growing sense of community—and we’re looking forward to more of the same this time around.
What started as a small experiment has now grown to more than 145 members, all connected by a shared interest in respectful, curious, and civil dialogue.
The first half hour (happy hour prices) is simply a chance to mingle—grab a drink, meet new people, and settle in before we begin our group discussion at 6:00.
A quick note: attendees are responsible for their own food and drinks.

Sign-ups remain simple and inclusive:
Anyone who signs up is welcome to attend, whether you’re listed as “going” or on the waitlist. Meetup’s RSVP limits don’t restrict participation—if you’ve added your name, we hope you’ll join us.

As always, inspired by The Mingle Project, this group is for those who often find themselves somewhere in the middle: open-minded, thoughtful, and eager to listen as much as they speak. Expect good food, relaxed conversation, and meaningful exchange about the ideas shaping our lives and communities.
Have topic ideas you’d love the group to explore? Please share them. We’re looking for new questions to spark discussion. Whether it’s your first time or your eighth, we hope to see you there.

If you have questions, feel free to email me at joe.stanzione@gmail.com or message me through Meetup.

Looking forward to another great night!

Joe
