Dazzling Dinner Parties
We’ve all been cooped-up for too long with our “quaran-teams”. While our families are all a blessing, I think each of us have missed the excitement of mingling with new and interesting people. With our “Dazzling Dinner Parties”, AMF is bringing you a collection of evenings with charming and fascinating Dinner Hosts, at intimate dinner parties hosted in their beautiful spaces. There’s nothing better for your mental outlook than making interesting new friends.
You can decide to join a dinner party with just partner/date or, team-up with other couples to take-over a dinner host’s entire party! The Dazzling Dinner Party host will find a date mutually agreeable to all dinner guests sometime this fall.
Join our AMF Dazzling Dinner Parties for a long-awaited return to socializing!
Note: Our goal is to sell out all Dazzling Dinner Parties at the 2021 AMF Gala on May 21st, but you may reserve your seats today by emailing Tara Richard at: tara@agingmindfoundation.org.
