So the tables are first come first serve with a 6 person per table limit. If we have attendance above that, I’ll ask someone to meet me early to reserve another table.
AVL Lesbian and Bisexual Women in Their 30s and 40s
What we’re about
Maybe it’s just me but most Lesbian and Bisexual Women’s Groups are either very clique-ish, are catering to an, um, older section of the population, or are a bit too political. Do you feel the same? If so, this could be for you. Let’s do meetups that go beyond drinking and praying to the goddess. Fun runs, dog meet and greets, networking events, and, sure the occasional happy hour. You in?
EARLY BIRD YOGA
