September 12-16 Parties

Our Astrological Matchmaking Party (Tuesday, 9/12) had a moderate turnout. Everyone was enthusiastic about our three professional astrologers (Randall Curtis, Irene Blinston, and Susan Strong), who gave free astrological consultations. And the food was great, as always, at Fanny & Alexander's Restaurant in Palo Alto.

Big turnout at the Art & Wine Tasting Party at Sonya Paz Fine Art Gallery in Santa Clara (Friday, 9/15). Unfortunately, not enough men came to balance the ratio. I have sent out a special email to the single men on my database to be sure to come (and bring their buddies) to our four upcoming Wine Tasting Parties in San Francisco (9/29), Sausalito (10/14), San Francisco (11/4), and Sonoma (11/12).

Our first-ever Karaoke & Dance Party in Marin (Saturday, 9/16) was well-attended and lots of fun. There was a wide range of talent, from very good to very poor, and it was all entertaining! When the DJ started the Dance Party, the dance floor filled up immediately. People enjoyed the Karaoke, but they were ready to dance! We will definitely do the Karaoke again at a future Saturday Night Singles party at Embassy Suites San Rafael.

National Singles Week (September 17-23) is the only week of the year honoring America's 84 million single adults. Our Society of Single Professionals is the proud sponsor of National Singles Week nationally, which is officially recognized in Chase's Directory of such events, and officially proclaimed by governors of many states, including California. We have four events for National Singles Week:

• My Art of Flirting Seminar, Sunday, 9/17, 7:30-9:30pm, at Santa Rosa Jr. College, Emeritus 1614.
• Networking Party for Single Professionals & Business Owners, Thursday, September 21, 6-8pm, at Sinbad's Restaurant, Pier 2 along the Embarcadero, San Francisco 94111.

We also have a Younger Man/Older Woman Party on Sunday, September 24, 7-9pm, at Jack's Bistro at Waterfront Plaza Hotel at Jack London Square, 1 Broadway, Oakland 94607. This party is for enlightened singles who reject antiquated sterotypes about age and dating!

Hope to see you at the parties!
