*** It’s a great day for happy hour! See you tonight! ***

UPDATE #3: Drink specials are $4 Coronas, $6 house wine, and $8 30s & 40s Superstar drinks!

UPDATE #2: Per my email, I need volunteers to help sign people in with name tags and to meet / greet folks! First drink is on me. This is a great way to meet people, and help kick start a friendly vibe to the event. I need volunteers to fill 30 minute slots (which goes by very fast) on the hour. If you can help, please send me a message through my Meetup profile (do not post a comment on the event posting) letting me know which top three time slots you prefer, in order of preference!

UPDATE #1: Looks like this will be a good one! Tell a friend, come on out, meet new people, and help support a good cause! And again, I encourage everyone to have a GOAL OF MEETING 3 NEW PEOPLE!

Okay, time to get together for our first happy hour of the year!

Our happy hour will benefit Potomac Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that is the region’s leading clean water advocate, fighting to ensure the Potomac River boasts clean drinking water, healthy lands, and vibrant communities… requested $5 or $10 cash donation (but not required). https://potomac.org/ Please note 80% of donations go to Potomac Conservancy and 20% of donations will go to the 30s & 40s Going Out Group to cover Meetup fees and expenses. 

(Socialize)

DJ Saam will be spinning beats for us. Our happy hours typically bring out 100 – 150 folks… and I wouldn’t be surprised with a similar turnout this time around (Note: I’ve been getting this question a lot lately, but please know our 30s & 40s Going Out Group’s RSVP numbers are not inflated with +99 added to the organizer’s RSVP or due to signups from a previous “rotating” or “recurring” event, nor is this event a combination of multiple groups with no relation to each other).

(Meet new people)

 If you haven’t been there before, Gryphon is a “social house” featuring an assortment of premium aged meats, a full raw bar, and specially crafted cocktails that encourages guests to socialize through eating and drinking, while providing a lively, energetic, and fun atmosphere! 21+

(Socialize some more)

To help continue the friendly tone of this group, I’d like to again encourage each person to have a GOAL OF MEETING 3 NEW PEOPLE at this event. To help do this, for an icebreaker, we’ll put your name in a jar as you walk in, and then give you someone else’s name from the jar. Also, 30s & 40s Allstars, please help make all the newcomers feel welcome to our group!

METRO & PARKING

The closest Metro is Dupont Circle – South Exit (Red line), about a 3 minute walk, and Farragut West (Orange, Blue, Silver lines), about a 10 minute walk. I suggest Metro / cabbing / Uber’ing if you can. I also recommend using wmata.com for travel planning. Don’t forget to account for Metro, traffic, and parking delays. If you are driving, you will need to find street parking or a garage. I recommend using parkopedia.com for garage parking planning.

DRESS CODE

Most people will be coming from work, so business casual will be the norm.

SPECIAL NEEDS

If you have any special needs (e.g. wheelchair, dietary for events with food included, etc.), let me know in advance (a week or more before the event) and I will do my best to accommodate (message me through my Meetup profile, do NOT comment on the event posting). If you let me know the day of the event, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to help. Thank you for understanding and I appreciate the courtesy of a heads up!
