Singles Night, First Friday, and Oyster Fest (November 3rd–9th)

Next week I will be launching our events calendar website! This will cover most everything we do in here (and we’ll link it each week for easy access).

With its launch, the newsletter will change shape just a tiny bit as well, more on that next week too.

The Bulletin Board is getting an overhaul, its under construction this week and it will return with the other updates next week as well!

Limited Seats per gender to keep things balanced.

Singles Dinners are split by overlapping age bracket (our biggest request), so you decide what works best for what you’re looking for.

We will send easy to follow directions to find FREE parking (so no excuses folks).
