Hiking Singles with Dogs

Come out and join our group to play Bingo and have dinner with us. Test your luck and you may win a prize too! It's the start of summer and we will have a table outside if the weather is nice or inside if it's threatening rain. We have space for 12 people (that includes Diane and me). So RSVP early. Come and meet new friends and perhaps a love interest! They have a full menu so you can order dinner. We will do separate checks. I will charge a $6 fee to hold your place and this will pay for your non- alcoholic drinks. And if you can't make it for some reason last minute, consider it a donation to the group. And there's Free Parking! I look forward to seeing you at Quincy's in June.

Yummy Bowl serves Mongolian BBQ, sushi, and ramen. Mongolian BBQ is a stir-fry style of cuisine where you place a selection of raw noodles/rice, vegetables, fruit, and protein in to a bowl along with your choice of sauces and the dish is cooked for you on a large, round grill while you wait. Every bowl is delicious and you are the chef so the selection gets better every time! Expect entrees in the range of $17 plus tax and beverage. This is a great opportunity to meet others who are new as well as those who have been around a while! Look for GRASP table flyers and Eli's GRASP shirt to easily find the group.

Thinking it would be fun to host a casual ladies meetup where we bring our dogs, grab drinks, and let the pups socialize while we do too. No pressure, just good conversation, cute dogs, and a cozy little excuse to get out of the house. Thinking somewhere dog friendly with beer, cider, maybe wine, cocktails, mocktails, or coffee depending on the vibe ☀️ Feel free to show up even if you don’t have dogs.

Our regular Sunday meetup at the Shirlington Dog Park -- members start arriving around 10:15 a.m. You'll always find an Aussie to play with. There are 3 entrances, so wander the park -- the dogs will find each other! For puppies, Shirlington has a small dog park within the larger dog park. It's the prefect place for your puppy to gain confidence and socialize with others. There is also plenty of room to run. Just a reminder, the Dog Park is under attack by the Arlington County Board of Commissioners. While early plans to decrease the size of the park by 50% has been tabled, it's important to remind Arlington County how important this park is to dogs and owners. Here are links to the change.org petition and the Facebook page where you can get updates. Shirlington Dog Park Page Petition: https://www.change.org/.../arlington-county-board-save...

We'll try to hike again. Hopefully, the weather cooperates this time. There's a shelter at 2401 Tilden Street we'll meet at. It's a simple out and back, not too steep. If we're up for it, we can grab some food at one of the nearby eateries. By signing up for this hike, you indicate you are responsible for own safety and do not hold the organizer or Meetup responsible for any injuries incurred. You may bring as many guests as you want provided they're single and childfree.
