## Membership Information

To help keep our group active and thriving, we ask all members to contribute an annual membership fee. This fee helps offset the recurring costs of operating our Meetup group and allows us to continue providing a welcoming community for women to connect.

• New members pay upon joining.
• Membership renewals are due annually no later than your join date.

Thank you for helping support our community!

## Profile Photo

Please use a recent, clear, close-up photo of yourself (only) as your profile picture. It helps everyone recognize one another at events and creates a more welcoming environment.

## Our Events

We typically host a few events monthly, offering a variety of activities to suit different interests.

Many of our Happy Hours are simply an opportunity to enjoy good food, discounted drinks, and even better company. They're an easy, relaxed way to unwind and get to know other members.  Don't drink? No problem.

Most events take place in the Brentwood and South Nashville areas, with occasional events in surrounding communities. Please consider the location before requesting to join our group.

## Helping Our Community Thrive

Our goal is to create a group where genuine friendships can grow. To keep our community active and enjoyable for everyone, we ask members to follow these simple guidelines:

1. Be kind and respectful. Everyone deserves to feel welcomed and valued.
2. Stay involved. Members are expected to attend or host at least one event every two months. Once you join us, you'll attend much more than the minimum requirement. This group is designed for women who genuinely want to build friendships.
3. Honor your RSVP. Two no-shows may result in removal from the group.
4. Avoid last-minute cancellations. We understand that life happens! If you need to cancel within 24 hours of an event, please communicate with the host whenever possible. Courtesy and respect go a long way.

## Consider Hosting!

One of the best ways to build friendships is by bringing people together. Once you've settled into the group, we'd love for you to host an event of your own!
Hosting doesn't have to be elaborate. You choose the location, date, time, and number of participants.

Many of our members have expressed an interest in hosting, and we encourage everyone to help keep our calendar full of fun opportunities to connect.
We're excited to have you with us and can't wait to get to know you.

Let's build friendships, make memories, and have a wonderful time together!
