Dinner

Happy Meals at Sangria

For our second open invite meal we tried something a little different: a dinner and dancing get-together on a non-social night. The idea was to open it up to the YA volunteers and take away the pressure of rushing to the social. In addition to that since it was at Sangria we could then take advantage of Grupo Escobar's weekly performance and do our thing - dance. The result was another great time and a few more lessons learned on organizing this type of "meetup" event.


Food, Friends, Dancing,
Live Salsa Music...
What more can ya ask for??
Since the idea is to help grow the community and introduce people to each other, the "open" part of the invite has been critical . And true to form, at each one we have had the opportunity to get acquainted with some new people. As well, we had the opportunity to introduce a number of people who had never been to Sangria on a Sunday to what has become one of my favorite haunts. However, even taking into consideration the weather conditions, I'm starting to conclude that "open inviting does not generate a lot of buy-in and committment." By being so open and not having the exclusive feel of a personal invitation, it leaves a lot of people considering it without committing to it.
