Happy New Year’s Eve, neighbors 👋

By this time of the month, I’m pretty wiped out. On top of Christmas activities, we have 3 December birthdays in my house. My daughters turned 11 and 14 and I hit the big 50 a couple of days ago.

Needless to say, my NYE will be celebrated by the fire, watching football. Might make midnight, might not 😆. If you’re still unsure of what you’re doing tonight, check out last week’s newsletter. However you decide to celebrate tonight, please do so responsibly.

Happy New Year!

In Today’s Spotlight

3 Weeks Until The Upper Merion Area’s First Dinner Club!!

Do you love going out to dinner, meeting locals, and meaningful conversation? Well let me introduce you to the area’s new dinner club: The Local Table. They host dinners throughtout the local area, bringing people together for real conversation, not networking or pitches. You sign up, take a brief survey, then just show up the night of dinner.

These dinners are launching first in Upper Merion Township, creating space for meaningful connection, honest stories, and community that feels genuine. If you’ve been craving substance and great company around one table, this is for you. The first dinner club will take place in Upper Merion Township on January 21st at 7pm. To learn more or sign up for our dinner on the 21st, click the button below.
