❤️ Our 1st Dinner Club was a Success

Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}},

We held our first Dinner Club this last Wednesday and things went really good.

Theresa A. said "I had a great time. I met 4 people that I would not have met otherwise and enjoyed learning about each of them. We shared contact information and I truly hope to stay in touch. There is 100% chance that I will do this again!"

Juliet said "Super fun time meeting new people. Very enjoyable evening."

Julia said "This is a great idea, I'm so glad I signed up for the first dinner. My dinner-mates were friendly, engaging, and interesting. Looking forward to doing it again soon!”

Theresa F. said "What a great way to meet new friends. Awesome restaurant that I didn’t even know about and good conversation. Looking forward to the next dinner!"

PJ said "Great meal and even made a new friend whom I’m already swapping texts with."

One group shared this photo! Thanks so much for doing that!! Would love to see more photos.

What didn’t go so well was the after party. Some mentioned they expected me to be there. I totally understand and that would have been fun but the organizers suggested that I not attend. Why? They said this is about you meeting new people.

As you can see the women outnumbered the men at all tables. So men this is your invitation to even out the numbers 🙂. At least two that attended have already signed up for the next Dinner Club.

Thanks for all that shared their feedback it really helps. I will definitely attend the next after party and might even stop by a few restaurants to say hi but I can’t promise I can attend all of them.

Some have asked about going as a couple but it’s not setup that way now, but I understand they are working on it. If you do both sign up chances are you are going to be at different tables/restaurants.

I complement you all for being brave and stepping out of your comfort zone to attend a dinner with people you don’t know. Kinda exciting isn’t it! Join the fun at our next Dinner Club. Sign Up Here
