✅ Group Rules:
- Conduct:
Please be respectful to all members and organizers. Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or any other bigoted behavior will not be tolerated. - Attendance:
If you RSVP for an event but can’t make it, please update your RSVP as soon as possible to free up your spot. For events that require reservations or have long waitlists, cancellations made less than 24 hours before the event may count as no-shows. If you no-show for 3 events, you may be temporarily banned from attending future events. - This is not a dating group:
While connections may naturally form, this group’s primary focus is on building friendships and creating a positive social space. Unwanted advances or inappropriate behavior are not acceptable. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, please reach out to an organizer - we're here to help. - Age & Eligibility:
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all events are 18+ only. This group is primarily intended for people in their 20s and 30s. There’s some flexibility for your plus-ones, but most events won’t be suitable for minors. - Alcohol & Behavior:
Some events may take place at venues that serve alcohol. Moderate drinking is fine, but excessive consumption or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated - especially if it endangers you or others.
---
Breaking any of the stated rules may result in either a temporary or permanent ban.
Our main goal is to create an atmosphere where all members feel included and welcome. Any behavior that impedes this goal will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
