So as to not detract, please don’t bring kids or solicitations.Who:These events are for everyone, whether they may be extroverted with few opportunities to socialize, or are more prone to homebody tendencies and hoping to find others with whom to bond over hobbies or find themselves anywhere along the spectrum of these personality placements.There is also a high degree of success and enjoyment found amongst neurodivergent and “Highly Sensitive” folks-- many people admit to having to force themselves to stretch their comfort zones when coming out to these events but are then amazed by how much fun they have once they’re there!Where/ When:The location of 20s/30s Speedfriending is currently meeting at the West Linn library in January, March, May, July, September, and November.

The link in order to sign up is Speed Friending | City of West Linn Oregon Official WebsitePlease also register here on Eventbrite to:--help me gauge interest--keep you informed of additional upcoming events, including notice of next month's Speedfriending event, as well as other social activities not held at the libraryNote that the library is also promoting these events, and thus not all attendees are included in the RSVP list shown on Eventbrite.Those who choose not to register at all may drop by and see if there’s room to join in; however, priority will be given to those who've registered with the library.How:Speedfriending, while based on the structure of speeddating, is purely platonic, and consists of short, minutes-long conversations with different people.First, we will warm up with a couple easy ice breakers in order to get folks engaged right off the bat. After that, within minutes, the idea is to find common ground and begin getting to know others around the room.In addition to the ice breakers, there’ll be optional conversation starter prompts to use as everyone is paired up (regardless of gender, orientation, or status, unlike a dating event) to visit one-on-one for a few minutes, then switch partners and chat with someone every few minutes.THEN WHAT?...If and as you connect with others over shared interests during the event, you’re encouraged to then exchange contact info.** Once the event is over, feel free to continue chatting at one of the nearby cafes or schedule your own get-together at another time! I will not be collecting/ keeping attendee contact information and thus will be unable to help with connecting people after the event.After attending one Speed-FRIENDING event, feel free to come back again to continue the fun and keep meeting new people!And hopefully, in short time, you'll have many friends made through these events! Just follow up with those you've exchanged contact info and get to know each other better!**SAFETYRegistrants are not vetted. Only share what you’re comfortable with in each instance. For example, you might share your first name vs. your full name, or offer to communicate by email vs. phone, etc. and arrange to meet in public.COSTNone, though donations are appreciated if one wishes to show support and to help with occasional material costs.If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via Eventbrite’s messaging system and I will try to reply in a timely manner.
