Growth Groups are back!

If you’re curious to what I’m talking about, let me explain. Growth Groups are a way to meet league members outside of your placement. There are four fun options that you can choose from depending on your interest: Book Club, Happy Hour, Lunch Bunch and Day Tripper. Each group is limited to 15 people and will be on a first come, first serve basis. Sign-ups will begin after the first General Meeting, September 15th and will close on October 1st.

Dates have been preset but can be changed once the group meets. These dates are to help members plan ahead so they can make all three groups. There will be one member in charge of meeting reminders and updates. 

Want to know more about each group? 

Book Club: Three novels will be covered over the year. The group will meet on 10/15, 1/24 and 4/10. The group can have themed snacks or dinners to coincide with their book. The group will decide on meeting location. Books will need to be purchased or rented by members. The first book is Sparkly Green Earrings: Catching the Light at Every Turn by Melanie Shankle. 

Happy Hour: Have you ever wondered who has the best salsa and margaritas in Midland, or most unique drink menu? This group will try a few of Midland’s hot spots out to sample drinks and appetizers. This group will meet on 10/26, 1/28 and 4/14. 

Lunch Bunch: Is your only free time at lunch? Are you looking to have some fun conversation over your hour break? This group is for you. This group will meet at local establishments around town and catch-up. The group will meet on 10/27, 1/26 and 4/5. 

Day Tripper: Midland is surrounded by many fun destinations. This group will travel outside Midland to explore these fun places and will return the same day. Trips could consist of a trip to a vineyard around Lubbock, shopping day in Alpine, lunch at the Gage Hotel in Marathon and then tour Marfa, a day in Big Spring with dinner at Hotel Settles and the list could go on. Trips would be on 10/24, 1/23 and 4/9. 

How do you sign-up? After our General Meeting on 9/15, you email growthgroupsjlm@gmail.com and note which group you would like to attend. You will receive an email notifying you of the details of the group.
