You’ll go on a series of mini-dates with multiple women, and you can choose whether you’d like to get to know them better afterwards as friends or dates.
And of course like always we encourage you to stick around afterwards so you can continue to mingle and meet each other in a low-key community environment.
Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to socialize with other like minded and like aged women.
Registration will be from 7-7:30pm with the event starting at 7:30pm. The event will go to 10pm and we’ll have an intermission in the middle. While we encourage you to arrive during registration, latecomers are always welcome!
