First Timer Tips

So, you're thinking about coming to a party? Well, we've got some
tips for you. After all, these ain't your typical singles parties!

Eighth, and last... say "Hi" to all of us. There are
always at least a half dozen party helpers, and
we're there to make sure YOU feel welcome.
We like meeting people too, you know!

First tip? Arrive on time. It may be fun to come fashionably late to other
parties, but if you arrive two hours late to ours you'll find yourself
meeting far fewer people. The closer to the start time you arrive, the
more people you'll get to see, meet, and talk to.

Second tip? Bring your reading glasses, if you need them. You WILL be
filling out some paperwork (for our 'personal ad wall', for example) and
if you can't see what you're writing, that also means you can't read what
others have written... and again, that's less fun.

Third, come with an open mind. You may think it's a high school dance,
but it isn't. The entire event is designed to help people meet people, and
to have a good time doing so. It's normal to start a bit apprehensive...
and later find yourself smiling. A huge percentage of our party guests
come back, and refer other guests... for a reason.

Fourth, yes, you WILL fit in. Every week, we have
hundreds of friendly singles at our parties, from
age 30ish to age 80ish. MOST of our guests are
in their 40's, 50's and 60's, but we DO have all ages,
and there is always someone there for you to meet.

Fifth, we have no cliques. With a few hundred people there, you WILL
find that there are people there who know each other and dance with
each other. But ALL of the guests are there to meet someone, including
YOU. So come on down, and meet them!

Sixth, save a buck or two. Bring something for the animal shelter. The
items listed on our party schedule page will get you a discount, but they
will also feed a hungry animal, or give it something to play with, sleep
on, or cuddle with. Head to any animal shelter and you'll see what we
mean! Bringing an item doesn't show you're cheap. It shows you care.

Seventh... get out of the house. We sometimes survey our guests, and
I'm always amazed that people hear about us, see our ads, and are so
nervous they follow our whereabouts for months before ever coming.
Then, when they DO come, they wonder why they didn't come sooner.
Stop sitting at home! Come to a party!

Well, that's it. These should help. After all, we DO want
your first time to be enjoyable!

Hope to see you soon!
