Mark your calendar! Young Adult (21 - 39 years old) Speed Dating will take place on Saturday, April 26th, with check-ins beginning at 6:00pm. This event will be held in St. Alphonsus Festival Hall.
Cost per individual ticket will be $50. You must pre-register for the event! Sign-ups at the door will NOT be allowed. This is a necessity to ensure that we are able to properly plan everyones conversations. The final day to register will be Wednesday, April 23rd at NOON, no exceptions. Cost of entry includes light refreshments, two drink tickets for the beginning of the event and two drink tickets for afterwards. We will NOT be serving a full dinner so we strongly recommend eating dinner before arriving as this is a longer event.
In order to register for this event, each individual will have to sign up through two links: Give Central (to pay for the event) and our Speed Dating link (your account will require your email, a password to see matches afterwards, your age, your minimum dating age, and your maximum dating age). Remember, you must both pay and sign up through the link order to attend this event.

When planning for this event, our goal is to provide the best possible matches for all attendees. To help us do so, we recommend that each person puts a minimum dating age range of 4 years above and below their own. While we realize this may be a greater age range than a person might like, this does help to provide people with dates closer to their own age rather than those farther away. The way our program is built to create dates, it will fit as many dates within someone's age range as possible and then automatically fill any open spots with others who are free at that time, regardless of age. For instance, if someone has an age range of 22- 26, the program would match them with as many people as possible in that range, then fill it with people who are either 21 or 26+. In other words, if we have two people who are 25 years old but one person has an age range set from 23-27 while the other has a range set from 22-28, the person who has the larger age range is less likely to be set up with a person who is much older or younger than them since the program has a larger pool of candidates to select from to fill the schedule. At the end of the day, this is an imperfect system that is to some extent dependent on who signs up to participate each year so while we always try our best, we cannot guarantee that you will not talk to someone outside your designated range. The minimum age that can be entered for the age range is 21 and the maximum age is 39.
