Volunteer-Run & Community-Powered
Our group is run by volunteer event organizers who plan and host activities in their own free time—doing things they genuinely enjoy and want to share with others. Events are created when and how our organizers are able, so schedules and offerings may vary.
If you’re interested in helping plan, host, or support events, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to us via direct message or email to get involved.
Cancellations, No-Shows & Communication Policy
If you can’t attend, please update your RSVP to “Not Attending” as soon as possible—ideally at least 2 hours before the event.
We have a three-strike policy for no-shows or lack of communication. After three instances, members may be removed. Excessive cancellations, even with notice, may also lead to removal.
Thank you for helping keep events respectful and running smoothly for everyone! 🙌
