Yes and no.

Dining in the woods with friends you haven't met yet isn't usual.

We're just 2 empty-nesters who love to host and are looking to expand our friendship circles! We're not a pyramid scheme, not a religion, not a political party. We have no secret agenda, will not ask you to join anything or take any money. The donation part of the invite isn't your ticket to the event, but a way to bring together like-minded people while putting some funds towards a great cause.
