What we’re about
This is a group for women only, who love brunch, enjoy meeting new people, appreciate good food (and, perhaps, a beverage!), and like to support our locally owned businesses.
Take a little break from your usual routine and join us as we meet for brunch (once/twice each month) and/or happy hour, dinner, or other types of fun get-togethers! Your age doesn’t matter, as long as you enjoy chatting and have the intention of making new friends and having fun!
To join our group, you must: have a photo which includes your face on your meetup profile, answer the questions, and be a woman (sorry guys! join a different group!:).
To date, our planned events are better suited to small groups, and often have waitlists. While we’d love to accommodate everyone who wishes to attend each event, the group’s small size is more conducive to quality conversation.
Also, often as we get closer to an event’s date, there is some movement in the attending/wait lists, so do not let the existence of a waitlist dissuade you from signing up – as you may, in fact, get a spot! (Please be sure to check back on your waitlist status - you should keep track of your spot, not us!!) Also, the existence of a waitlist – along with attendee feedback - is helpful to the hosts for planning future events!!
Because of our small groups: you showing up if you have RSVP'd "yes" is super important! If you need to cancel, please do so at least 48 hours prior to event; otherwise, you will be considered a "no-show." PLEASE NOTE, if you are on the waitlist, YOU are responsible for checking your status (ie, if still on waitlist, or moved to Attending) prior to the event. We do not notify each and every time a person is moved. Not realizing that you were moved from the Waitlist to Attending is not a valid excuse for being a "no-show" or late cancel if it is more than 24 hours prior to start of event. Be sure your notification settings are set-up!
For most events, we "freeze" the RSVPs 48 hours prior to the event start time. This means anyone listed as "Attending" must contact the organizer to change their status. This also means that if a spot opens up, it does not automatically go to the next person on the waitlist. It may go to the first person, or the spot may go to someone who is responsive to messages from the organizers. Within 48 hours of an event, it is fully at the organizers'/hosts' discretion, as we are trying to prevent open spots at our events. The best way to be sure to get a spot off the waitlist is to respond to messages from us!:)
While meetup is free for members to use, there is a cost to Organizers to run a group. To help defray our cost (currently $200/year) we request that each member contribute $5 cash at the first event she attends. This $5 cost will be payable annually. Please note: we do not utilize meetup’s payment processing company due to high fees, so cash/venmo only. The $5 payment is nonrefundable if you leave the group, regardless of reason.
By RSVPing to any of our events you agree that your membership in the group, and any participation in any event or activity is strictly voluntary. You assume full responsibility for your own safety and well-being associated with any event, including transit to and from the event.
