Girls Having Fun

Please join us for happy hour and board games at the Grape Escape wine bar in Gaithersburg. Feel free to bring your own food to pair with their nice selection of wine and beer. You can’t beat this cozy little place for fun on a Tuesday night! We'll have a couple games but please **feel free to bring a game of your own!** Come for the beverages, the games, the conversation, meeting new people, or all of the above. We'll be at the big tables in the middle of the venue. Look for GRASP table flyers and Eli's GRASP shirt. We can't wait to see you there!

Come out to a evening filled with fun board games at Aslin Beer Company in Herndon! We play a variety of games, including strategy, co-op, and party games! Always welcoming to people who are brand new to the hobby to those who have been playing for years! We will be meeting in the Izzi building (not the main taproom), as there is more table space there and is right next to where you can get food and drinks! There isn't a hard cap on attendees per say, but we would prefer that you sign up in advance so we have a rough head count as to whom to expect! Can't wait to see you all there!

EVERY TUESDAY @ 6:30 PM at Dudley's Sport and Ale! We're a FREE club for all those interested in both running and socializing.

The SRC was founded in 2009 by VA residents Mirentxu Meyer and Shirley Santos, for like-minded people with social interests. Inspired by our founders, the goals of SRC are to promote fitness and build a sense of community. With currently over 2,800 people who've joined over the years, the SRC meets every Tuesday evening at 6:30 PM at Dudley's Sport and Ale to run a 5K summer route (6K in the winter), and hosts a post-run happy hour by savoring the flavors of Shirlington’s Dudley's Sport and Ale and socializing! In addition to fostering a community and family feel, SRC brings its members together throughout the year with other neighborhood events, sport activities, and volunteer opportunities. We welcome all levels of runners, from the beginners to the experienced marathoner, at all ages, and from all locations. What a better way to get a work out in and meet new people with like interests in the area! The SRC hopes to see you this Tuesday night, rain or shine!

Winter isn’t stopping us. We’re getting outside, catching up, and warming up together after. 📍 Where Meet at Meridian Hill Park (Exact meet-up spot will be shared the morning of.) 🕰️ When We walk out at 12:15 PM sharp. We’ll enjoy a relaxed stroll through the park, then head to Creative Grounds for coffee afterwards. 🧣 What to Bring Comfy walking shoes, water, and cute, cozy layers (We will take pics 📸). 🚗 Getting There Street parking is available nearby, but can be limited. Arriving a little early or ridesharing is recommended. 💬 What to Expect Come ready to mix, mingle, and maybe meet your next favorite friend 💕 Whether you’re new to the area or just craving fresh energy, this is a no-pressure space for real connection. It might feel a little awkward at first (totally normal!) putting yourself out there is a muscle, and this is the perfect place to flex it. We’ll keep the walk short and sweet, then settle in somewhere warm to chat and unwind. 🌟 A Few Reminders ✨ If you have any concerns or feedback, let the host know, we’re always open to making things better.
✨ If there’s ever an issue with your order or service, please try resolving it with the café first so they have a fair chance to make it right.
✨ While we’re strolling, let’s look out for each other, stay in small groups, and keep the good vibes flowing together.

Y’all are invited to a boot-stompin’, toe-tappin’ country line dancing night with Social Sips & Bites. We’re bringing together good music, a lively dance floor, and even better company for a night full of classic country vibes. The night kicks off with a line-dancing lesson, so no experience is needed. Whether it’s your first two-step or you already know a few classics, you’ll be guided through the moves before the open dancing begins. After that, it’s all about country hits, cold drinks, and enjoying the rhythm together. Come learn the steps, feel the country vibes, and dance the night away with Social Sips & Bites.
