Angela Lussier and I are collaborating on this exciting new project:

If you’re sick of pointless networking events or other social opportunities that leave you feeling awkward, disappointed, or excluded – you're not alone! The Do What You Love Group is a facilitated, creative, meaningful monthly meeting that’s about PARTICIPATION and inspiration.

We’re doing away with traditional approaches to networking and socializing, and cultivating each others’ awesomeness, instead.

It’s a shame when lots of cool people get into one room together (parties, arts events, bars, cafes, networking, etc.), but there’s nothing for us to actually DO together or an easy way for us to get to know each other.

The Do What You Love Group is about many things:

- Doing what we love as a career and/or in our leisure time

- Sharing our successes and challenges in doing things we love

- Helping others do more of what they love

- Actually DOING fun, inspiring activities that we love during our meetings

- Sharing resources and ideas

HOW TO JOIN

Membership is open to all --> but there is an application process.

To apply, email the reason why you want to be part of this group to us at: DWYLGroup@gmail.com

Angela and I will personally review all submissions.

300 word maximum per submission. There will be a cap on the number of members allowed, so send your submission today! Each group is limited to 50 members.

You can become a member of our Meetup Group as well (that doesn’t guarantee membership though, still have to go through the application process).

I know, we’re strict like that.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN?

The first meeting is free so you can check it out and decide whether or not this is for you.

If you decide you'd like to join, membership is $50 for 6 months (per club), or $75 for both clubs for 6 months (for access to both the Hampshire & Hampden County clubs).

Membership fees cover the monthly meeting admission, gives you a listing on the online members page, and allows you to start your own group within the group (more details to come on “Sub-Do What You Love Groups”)!

What is a typical meeting going to be like?
