Spend a little time with each one, during a series of 6-minute Pre-Dates. Then tell us who you'd like to speak with again & we'll do the rest!

According to the New York Times, at a speed dating event, people like 2-3 out of 10 people they meet. Online daters only match with 1 in 100 or fewer of the profiles they study. This is the best way to meet new people, and it works! Just ask the thousands of people that have met at our events and had successful relationships and marriages. **WHAT DOES IT COST?** We put a lot of time and effort into creating the best singles events possible, so we collect a fee for our hard work. Our events are an excellent value at about $3 per introduction. Get your ticket for the best singles event in town. **NOTE FOR NEWCOMERS:** We post our events on various platforms. Our events often sell out, so expect plenty of fellow singles, regardless of the numbers you see here :) So what are you waiting for? Join us for some fun conversation with great new people... and maybe something more!

Start off your Memorial Day weekend with your fellow Spectrals at Cleveland Park Library! Located at 3310 Connecticut Ave. NW in Washington, DC less than two blocks from the Cleveland Park Metro station on the Red Line, the library is a quiet place to meet, relax, and hang out. We're meeting in the large conference room on the second floor. Due to fire regulations, only 20 people can RSVP. Once the count gets to 20, the list will be closed. Eating is prohibited, but drinks in containers with lids are allowed. Afterwards, we typically visit Fat Pete's, a barbecue place with vegetarian, pasta, pizza, and salad options. The owner, PJ, is autistic and knows Spectrum Friends well. I will contact him and let him know we're coming. If he says the place is quiet, we will go there. He always seats us in the quietest place possible. The address is 3407 Connecticut Ave, NW. If Fat Pete's is crowded, there are many other places to go eat in Cleveland Park. Driving is not recommended. Parking is expensive and nearly impossible to find. Taking Metro or a rideshare is much easier. For information on Metro's schedule, please visit [Weekend Track Work: Metro](wmata.com/weekend). If you have trouble finding the place or are running late, please call or text me at 202-802-3238. See you soon, Jenny

Hello! For May, we're in Maryland for a nice lunch buffet. See the menu here: https://assets.peblla.net/17327851650786d5d46c3f3934f6d81acf9a1aaf79f06.pdf There is a parking lot. Alternatively, you can walk from the Twinbrook stop on the Red Line. A couple of disclaimers: this is not a "meet market." Many of us desire to become DINKs at some point, while others do not; let's not assume the former for anyone. In the spirit of the overall group, this is inclusive in that regard. But please just come with the intent to have fun and connect with other CFs, not to hook up or partner up. If it happens naturally, awesome. But please don't have that goal in mind. You can bring a guest provided they're single and childfree. If something comes up and you can't make it, please switch your RSVP to "no" by Friday, 5/22 at 5 p.m. That said, if you've repeatedly signed up and then switched your RSVP to "no," I reserve the right to move you to the waitlist if we have enough people wanting to go. Reservations are limited to ten; if anybody wants to make their own reservation so we can have more, let me know, and I'll increase the size.

Enjoy a relaxed walk aroundthe beautiful **Green Springs Garden**! Take in the fresh air, vibrant blooms, and peaceful surroundings while connecting with others. A perfect way to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.
