Meeting new people doesn’t have to be so hard.
That’s why we’re hosting Tri-Cities Dinner Club: a casual night out with neighbors from Batavia, Geneva, and St. Charles that’s all about good food, easy conversation, and the same upbeat energy you get from Tri-Cities Central. You can register with a plus-one if you like.
The first Dinner Club event will be on Thursday, April 23, in downtown St. Charles.
How our Dinner Club will work:
Step 1: Take a quick quiz about your interests, food preferences, social style, and what types of folks you’d enjoy meeting. Add your plus-one if you’d like.
Step 2: Get matched with five other Tri-Cities Central community members based on the quiz results.
Step 3: Receive your invite the morning of the dinner and discover where in St. Charles you’ll be eating (groups will be seated at several different restaurants downtown).
Step 4: Dinner will be on Thursday, April 23 at 6:15PM. After dinner, all tables will be invited to a different surprise spot nearby to keep the good times rolling (I’ll be there, too). The post-dinner mixer is optional, so no big deal if you’d prefer to call it a night early.
What else you should know:
I know several other local newsletter operators around the country who have been running these events, and people in their cities LOVE them. For example, here’s a recent video recap of a Dinner Club in Lancaster, PA.
Comments from Dinner Club attendees in other cities:
"It’s a fun opportunity to meet new people. We were all close in age at our table, and three of us already had mutual connections. I had a great time and plan to participate in more dinners. So worth it!"
“Seeing a Dinner Club come to life in person was incredible; I was surprised at how easy it was to create new friendships with the other people around our table.”
“Dinner Club was the perfect way to make new connections without the pressure — just good food and conversation.”
I won’t attend dinner (that would distract from the point!), but I plan to be at the post-dinner mixer hanging out with everyone who shows up.
