WOMEN & FEMME PEOPLE ONLY

Most social meetups end with a handful of social media handles and zero actual plans. This one ends differently.

Spend an hour in genuine one-on-one conversations with women you have never met. There is no awkward mingling and no wondering who to approach next. Instead of swapping social media handles but never actually meeting up again, you pick your favorite people from the rounds and find a spot in the garden to have a picnic together. Same afternoon. No follow-up texts. No scheduling headaches.

By the time you're laying out the picnic blankets, you've already found a group of women you genuinely click with. Maybe this becomes your regular picnic and park squad. Maybe it's just a great afternoon. Either way, you're not doing it alone.

Agenda

1:00PM - 2:00PM - One-on-One Rounds

2:00PM+ - Form Groups & find a spot in the garden and start the picnic together
Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, and find a spot in the garden and start the picnic together. Your group leaves together to enjoy an afternoon together.

The Goal

Don't just collect contacts. Actually have a picnic with new people and see if this becomes your regular crew for new picnic spots and outdoor activities to try together.

Park Place Deli - This neighborhood favorite offers a wide variety of classic sandwiches and fresh salads that are easy to carry to the park.
