Events

One Friday per month we will meet up - usually mid-morning to mid-afternoon
Events will range in activity from social to active to educational and everything in between
I will try to have dates and events locked in one quarter in advance but please know there are many moving parts so please give me grace with this - we will VOTE for dates a few months at a time. Here’s the form to vote for March - May

Here’s what’s on tap for the first two months -
Jan 17th Fashion Workshop with the amazing Lisa Fischer, personal stylist followed by a Clothing Swap - if you came to this event last year, the info will be a follow-on to what we learned, and if this will be your first event with Lisa, your mind will be blown!! I have learned SO MUCH from her!!
February 28th SNOWSHOE ADVENTURE - we will carpool up to Gold Creek Pond in Snoqualmie Pass and snowshoe for 1.5 hours then head to lunch at Commonwealth. Event will be ready soon.

Please RSVP on my website for ALL events - indicating “going” or “interested” on a FB event does NOT count as a solid RSVP.
When you RSVP on my scheduling app, you will receive email confirmation as well as email reminders AND drumroll…you can now add the events directly to your calendar with the click of a button from my website!!!
We will have quarterly evening events (ie Yoga Sound Bath in Feb, and hopefully Movie night at Big Picture in the spring, evening social in summer, and ?? for fall)
Any member is encouraged to throw out meet-ups (I recommend using the FB group to communicate for this type of thing)

Voting

Full capacity of our group is 50 women - right now we are at 42. If you know of someone who could benefit from our amazing group, please invite her to join ASAP!!
Around May, I will reevaluate to see if we can fit a few more ladies in assuming the events are not overfull
Membership gets you access to all events, the community and the members’ area of my website where you can access the member directory and calendar
Some events will be completely free (like hiking or snowshoe - aside from the parking pass and lunch) and some events will come with a pricetag (like the January Fashion Event because I have to pay Lisa and rent the space)

Please note my site is work-in-progress so you won’t see all of this ready to go yet, but it will be ready soon. :)

Email from me around the first of the month to share all the updates and links to RSVP
Facebook Group for communication and community building
I use a google group for emailing the group (like right now) - please
Expect an email directly to those who have RSVP’ed for a Friday event a week ahead of time to confirm plans. This email will include info like carpooling and lunch plans etc.
Expect a FB messenger chat the Wed before the Friday event - this is a great alternative to a text thread where we can share last minute updates (like “I’m running late, but on my way”) and this is where we will share photos after the event.

Our group’s charity is the Issaquah Meals Program. Our group is in charge of shopping, cooking and serving every second Monday of the month.
We would love to have more participation this year with this awesome program - whether you want to share your time, your talents or your resources. We could use all that we can get.
If you would like to donate your time / talents by cooking or serving, please sign up here

If you’d like to help out for the January Issaquah Meals, here is the SIGN UP GENIUS with the details.
If you would like to help out by donating money, please Venmo @Tana-Sinnott - we will use ALL monies towards the main course meal.
Finally, if you would like to join our Issaquah Meals YGG Committee, please let me know. So far, we have Stephanie, Tana, Onti, Rebecca and Tracey. Thank you!!!
