Women from this area have been reaching out asking the same question:
“Is there anything like The Bond Maker near me?”
This pop-up is our way of saying:
Let’s find out — together.
Hello Yellow: Bond Duck Pop-Up Lunch is a low-pressure, welcoming experience designed to bring women together, test the energy of this community, and see whether Ocala is ready for something more.
No commitment.
No awkward networking.
Just connection, curiosity, and a seat at the table.
Wear Yellow. Come as You Are.
Yellow is our symbol of warmth, openness, and choosing connection — even when staying home feels easier.
It can be bold or subtle: a top, earrings, shoes, nails — just a touch of yellow to quietly say,
“I’m open to meeting someone new.”
Your First Bond Duck — Painted by You
Waiting at your seat will be a simple white rubber duck and paint pens.
You’ll decorate it however you’d like — playful, thoughtful, funny, symbolic.
There are no rules here.
Later, during our Bond Duck Moment, anyone who wants to can share why they chose their design.
Sharing is always optional. Listening counts just as much.
Every duck is different — because every woman’s season of life is different.
Lunch That Feels Like Friendship
This isn’t a mixer.
It’s not networking.
It’s lunch the way it should be.
Easy conversation.
Genuine laughter.
Women who understand what it feels like to walk in not knowing anyone — and leave feeling welcomed.
Some women will arrive solo.
Some will leave exchanging numbers, making plans, or already asking,
“When’s the next one?”
Why This Pop-Up Matters
This event is part of The Bond Maker’s “It Matters Where You Find Friends” experience — and it’s also something new.
We’re exploring where women want community to grow next.
This pop-up helps us feel the energy, hear the voices, and understand what’s possible here.
If this community continues, it will be led by a local woman, not by us traveling in forever.
Tonight is about connection — and possibility.
Always Together Promise
You’ll never sit alone, and you’ll never be left out of the conversation.
We sit together as one group, and our hosts actively include everyone.
No woman is left out. You belong here.
First-Event Welcome
Our host will be looking for you! We greet you, make introductions, and keep you included so first-timers feel at home fast.
Optional Coffee Chat
After you book, join our to meet a few friendly faces from the community and say a quick hello to a host.
Note: attendees may be different from your specific event, but it’s a great warm-up before you arrive.
One Duck. One Lunch. One Step Toward Community.
Some experiences are just fun for the day.
Others quietly become the beginning of something more.
Because it doesn’t just matter that you find friends.
It matters where you find friends.
