SPEED DATING EVENT FOR SINGLES 60 AND UP!

What is speed dating?

Speed dating is a fun and easy way for singles to meet lots of other singles in a short period of time with minimum pressure and investment.  While sitting across from each other at tables, participants connect for approximately 4-7 minutes and can briefly chat and ask each other questions, before rotating onto the next person at the sound of a bell.   At the end of the event, participants can share with the hosts if they want to match with anyone.  If two people are mutually interested in each other, the hosts will then provide participants with contact information.

Why speed dating?  

You can meet people face-to-face, rather than online, and are in a safe and protected environment run by professionals.
