I Love Meeting New Members.....


I love meeting new members and watching them bloom. At the new member ice breaker we did a couple introduction games that were fun, easy and not uncomfortable like so many are.  They got people talking but didn’t put anyone on the spot but really got them engaged.  Then many of the existing members joined us for games night after the ice breaker. People started opening up. They met existing members who have been around for 2 months or even 2 years. They realized everyone here is just like them. Single.  And wanting to get out and do something fun. We play some games. Board games. People love board games. It gives them easy conversation topics.  By the end of the evening the IT guy that was scared to walk in the door turned into the clever smiley guy and the hesitant divorcee turns into a confident cool chick that made 2 new friends she’s going to go running with next week.  And this was the first event for both!   I know in the coming weeks I’ll see them both again. It’s awesome to see new members become excited to attend events because they know their new friends are going to be there.  The smile that beams across their face when they are greeted like Norm on Cheers is priceless. Events And Adventures Dallas
