• Update your RSVP if your plans have changed. This group has a generous 3 no-show policy, after which time you will be removed from the Meetup group.

• Be Respectful - Vulgar or offensive language toward group members or service industry staff will not be tolerated.

• The goal is to make everyone feel safe, and if you don’t feel safe because of someone’s actions, please let me know either in person, sending a Meetup message or an email to me here.

• In an effort to maintain an active and engaged community, members who have been inactive for 3 months will be removed from the Meetup group.

There is no cost to join Nashville Social, however some events may require a registration or participation fee. Depending on the event, the fee may need to be paid in advance or upon arrival. Specific details will be in the event description.

At this time I am NOT asking for donations for running the group - please disregard any messages you may be receiving from Meetup on this subject.

Many of you have asked how you can show your appreciation for my efforts.
If you'd like to buy me a coffee you can do so via Venmo @ Bonnie-Puntasecca.
Please know this is not required or expected, and the suggestion came from a few group members.

No. There are other Meetup groups for that, but this is a social group for folks looking to meet new people and make new friends while engaged in new experiences!

Many members of the group have expressed appreciation for the age range as it helps to find and connect with others in similar life stages. While we do have a few members on either side of the range, (old souls and young at heart), we do try to stick to the 30s-40s.

There are several other groups focused on other age ranges or without age ranges.

Most of our events permit bringing a guest however the event description will have specific details.

If you are unable to add a guest to your RSVP, want to bring more than one, or your guest will no longer be coming, let me know and I can adjust on my end. It is important to let me know so we can get an accurate headcount.

I monitor all event waitlists closely. Always add your name to a waitlist if you are interested in attending an event. Many folks change their RSVPs a day or two before the event. I do my best to give the folks on the waitlist an opportunity to join the event.

Our goal is to have a variety of events with some regular monthly series! New experiences including opportunities to connect with new people, hobbies, food, businesses etc.

We aim for budget friendly, and try to stay away from alcohol focused events, although in most cases it will be available at the venues. 

We strive to support local businesses and try our best to take parking into consideration.

We love event suggestions! Feel free to message Bonnie on Meetup or via email at bonnie@nashvillesocial.org.

We try to incorporate as many event suggestions as possible however if we are unable to create an official event, you can always make the suggestion as a “side quest” on the Meetup Discussion Board or Blog Post.

My goal is to provide high quality welcoming events that folks want to return to. I read every review to see how I can improve.

I appreciate text comments in the reviews as well, but please know that due to a recent meetup change everyone can see them now.

This is how I think about the 5 star ratings:
5 star - It was great + can't wait for the next event
4 star - It was good + look forward to what's next
3 star - It was ok + would likely not return
2 star - I did not like + would not return
1 star - So bad did not stay for the whole event

We love supporting local businesses! If you’d like to partner with us or have an idea for an event or location, feel free to send a message to bonnie@nashvillesocial.org.
