As organizers for 19 months, we feel that having a smaller more committed group of couples is much easier to manage and a lot more fun! We have thoroughly enjoyed organizing and coordinating our meetups, but have found that sometimes with larger groups, it is much more difficult to organize.  Also, dining experiences may not be as enjoyable due to communication being difficult with all members dining at larger tables, asking for separate checks (we do that by the way), as well as making it more …

I started this group, because I drive a hot pink Toyota Corolla. I purchased it a year ago, and then I had it custom painted. Toodling around in my hot pink car makes me happy and shows off my hot pink personality.
