SUMMARY:Sold Out! Speed Friending Event-designed for Ladies 40+
DESCRIPTION:This is an event for women to gather together to meet\, connect\, and then repeat in a low-pressure environment. The event is structured through Speed Friending rounds (we do the work for you). Speed friending is just like the traditional “speed dating” but less awkward! We have a handful of rounds for you to rotate through so that everyone gets a chance to talk to as many people as they can! \nDesigned for ANY woman 40+  \nby popular demand\, Speed Friending Scranton is tailoring this event to women 40+. \nEvery person will receive a conversation card filled with prompts to guide your conversation. \nYou don’t have to come alone\, but most people do! That’s why this was created. Come alone and leave with a friend! You are more than welcome to encourage friends to attend the event with you. \nCan I purchase tickets at the door? Unfortunately\, not. These events are highly sought after and sell out fast. Tickets are limited so to ensure you get a spot at the event\, purchase your ticket early. \nHave fun and be yourself! People want to know the most authentic version of you. Step out of your comfort zone and start conversations with other women you might not talk to otherwise. \nMeet. Connect. Repeat.
