It's the middle of December, and this is the first post! Sorry for being tardy. This month's been cram-packed with goings on. We had our bake sale at the end of last month, as well as our annual Thanksgiving feast. The money raised during the bake sale ($250!!) was used to benefit the Safer Sex Ball this past Saturday night. More than 300 people attended the event and partied until the wee hours of the morning. It was a phenomenal success!
Two weeks ago at neXt, our core members pitched in and co-facilitated an evening of MadLibs, the fun party game where you insert words to make funny, sometimes shocking stories. The guys had a great time with the game and we had a few new members attend!
Last week we discussed the possibility of expanding neXt into an activities group to meet outside our normal designated space and time. In addition to Thursday nights, we brainstormed ideas on when and where to meet. Perhaps a monthly or bi-monthly Saturday night outing is in order. Something different from the bar scene:
Maybe BOWLING, or THEATRE, or MOVIES, or the CITY MUSEUM, and DINNER, of course.
Our desire is to make neXt more than "just" a meeting, but a movement of people and ideas. We want to build community and help expand opportunities. We'd certainly entertain the idea of making neXt more than a Thursday night thing. With a whole city offering plenty of things to do, we'd never be without motivation.
Speaking of motivation...got your holiday shopping done?!
