January 2026 Recap!
Month 13 Recap - December 26 - January 25
Celebrating another month of “Being Social with Nashville Social”!
As always, thanks to all who have RSVPed, showed up, and joined in the fun!
I can organize the events but it takes attendees to make them a success! ❤️
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
2026 Bucket List… Thanks to your suggestions, we have started a new year bucket list. Check out “What’s Next?” on our blog!
2026 Greenways Challenge - Sunday Strolls have been a part of our regular events for a while now, but happy to see a new challenge for the new year! I’ve already taken the pledge - will you? Take the Pledge!
LOOKING BACK:
Let’s Celebrate: Nashville Social turns 1 @ Fogg Street Rooftop! This event was one of the highlights of my year… sure it was a great event… but it was more of a celebration of all of our members who were brave enough to show up the first time, and then kept not only showing up, but welcomed other newbies. Just 1 year ago we were all strangers… so PROUD and THANKFUL for the community WE have built!
REMINDERS:
UPDATE YOUR RSVP - Don’t forget to update your RSVP if your plans have changed. This group has a generous 3 no-show policy, after which time you will be removed.
WAITLIST - Always add yourself to the waitlist if you’re interested in an event! If I can secure more space I will, and if I can’t, I try to give you preference if we host the event again.
STAY ACTIVE - The goal is to make this an active, engaged and collaborative community!
SUGGEST EVENTS - Event suggestions are always welcome - send me a message and I’ll see what I can do!
CONNECT - Although we’re not too active… we are on socials!
Code of Conduct… 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 at bonnie@nashvillesocial.org
