What are some good events to have that cost little to no money? The difficulty we have here is lack of space. It is hard to have a group of women over in a small apartment. Plus many people also have roommates that doesn't make it do-able. A main reason I don't have people over is because some people think it is a trek from Manhattan to Queens although I really don't think so since I live 10 minutes away from Mid-town and 2 blocks from the subway. Oh yeah, and I have pets and some people may be allergic.
I really like doing the Breast Cancer Walk. Some of us did it last year. You put in a donation and get to walk with your sisters/meet new people.
I tried planning a mani/pedi day but no one really signed up (this was awhile ago though).
We met at a Cosi once and had a good response.
We also had a huge turnout and random new people show when we planned a co-ed event with Russ's group (it was him and one of his brother's and I think at one point, there were probably at least 15 of us).
Whenever we have had the get-together's at an Irish pub, there always seems to be a decent response.
I am trying to stay away from the Happy Hour theme because when a few of us recently attended a Volunteer Conference, we learned that we are known as the "Drinking/Partying Alumnae Association". We are SO NOT though which goes to show how rumors fly when using things like a listserv in yahoogroups
