July is here!
Come out and make some friends!
Here’s how it works:
🍽️ Take a quick quiz about your personality, interests, and food preferences.
✨ Get matched with five other Wichitans who fit your vibe (food preferences, budget, life stage, etc.).
📍 Your table of six meets for dinner on Thursday, July 23rd — the exact restaurant is revealed that morning.
🥂 After dinner, all groups are invited to a casual after-meetup to keep the conversation going (more on that below).
If you’ve been wanting to meet new people in town, this might be the easiest (and most fun) way to do it.
This month we’re doing something a little different for the After-Party..
Instead of keeping it a secret like usual, we’ll let you in on it.
We will be continuing the after-dinner party in the All-American Club at Eck Stadium (WSU baseball) for the NBC World Series opening night! Your tickets to the game + All-American Club are comped with your dinner club ticket, so come out and enjoy an amazing view PLUS great fellowship.
