Neighborhood Mixer at the Grapevine!! Fun

[Sara Greenwood]

Hi Willow Glen 2.0'ers! I'm going to throw this out and hopefully there will be a good response. Ryan Kuder and I have been having discussions about starting a neighborhood mixing event at The Grapevine in the next month. Before we move forward, I would like to find out if there will be a good turn-out. The Grapevine can provide the venue for ~ 50 people and the cost per person will be $20-30 depending on the day (Tuesday evening - $20 / Thursday - Saturday $30).

I would really like to host this event with Ryan so that we can meet our neighbors, and start some friendships and do a little networking.

Please respond to this discussion, become my friend here on WG 2.0, and spread the word. If I think that it is worth the time to plan this event I will move forward. The Grapevine is very excited about housing all of us WG'ers and has been very helpful in helping me plan.

Thanks everyone.

How about non-drinkers? I know the cost includes wine and the event is for the purpose of meeting others but is steep for this water guzzler. I would REALLY be interested, but as May 30 is my last day of gainful employment and I am VERY cautious with my discretionary funds. Take trade? :-)

[Sara Greenwood]

Hi,

I totally understand. I'm hoping to negotiate down a bit on the per person cost; it's not completely firm. The cost includes food as well as the wine tastes but at this point I'm interested in seeing if there is interest. The more people, the lower the price so I will keep you posted. Stay tuned and thanks for replying :)

I would love to join and have some F2F time - that way we could recognize one another and say hi on walks in the neighborhood.

How about Monday afternoon? Anytime after 2:30 would be great. Mnsr. Bean?

[Sara Greenwood]

Excellent. 2:45 at Mnsr. Bean. See you then. If things change call or email me.

Thanks,
Sara

I will be there at 2:45 - no change in plans - just confirming. Dressed in sloppy green shorts and a white t-shirt. What a BUM!!!

[Sara Greenwood]

I'll see you there at 2:45. Me - black top, striped knee-length pants and heels. What a lucky BUM you are :)

[Kyczy Hawk]

I am so happy we were able to connect. I hope we can do this again and that you can schedule some time to play with mud. Maybe I will see you at Blossom Hill Crafts. Also I sent Gina an email with your contact information. I hope this is a good "match".

[Ryan]

Naturally, I'm in ;) Thanks for taking the lead on this Sara!

Fun! We're always up for a glass of wine. Is that wrong to admit in public?

Thursday evenings work best for us. :)

Sounds like a great idea! I'm in for a glass...
