1. What are the members like?
Social Circles members are all all types of people, from all backgrounds and careers, and with all interests. They are discerning individuals who want more out of life than the everyday ‘hum drum.’ Most have neither the time nor the avenues they once had to meet interesting people, and many find they are amongst the few unattached people left in their circle of friends.

2. How old are the members?
They are 20s through 50s, with the greatest concentration being 30s and 40s. With a good-sized turnout at each activity, gravitating towards others of similar age range is easy.

3. Is it just for singles?
The majority of members are single, although it is not a requirement.

4. Can I join alone?
Yes! Almost all of our members thus far have joined on their own, and without knowing anyone else in the club. A group leader is present at each activity, introducing members to each other and facilitating interaction. There’s a real sense of community that comes from belonging to Social Circles. Friendships naturally occur from the momentum of the club, and through the interactivity of the events. Our activities feel more like a group of “friends of friends” going out together than it does a disconnected crowd of strangers.

5. What if my schedule is unpredictable?
Because of the number of activities we offer, we accommodate even the most erratic of work schedules. Moreover, you never need to know your schedule way ahead of time to sign up and participate.

6. How much is it?
We have a number of different packages with prices comparable to health clubs in this area.

7. How long do people join for?
The average member stays with us approximately 2 ½ - 3 years, although you may join initially for as little as 6 months.

8. How many people attend each event?
Certain activities are best with 12 people, others are better suited at 25. Most events fall in this range, with the exception of happy hours, which usually have about 100 people.

9. How do I know if I’d fit in with the group?
Our club boasts a membership of so many types of people that everyone finds members with whom they connect. Whatever your personality type is, whatever your interests are, you’ll find people like you here. And since you sign up for activities that pique your interests, you are certain to find others at those events with the same interests as you.

10. Is it cliquey?
Admission is on a rolling basis, and new members join the club every day. With over 1,500 members, there’s no ‘in crowd’ and it’s not ‘cliquey.’

11. What if I am shy around strangers?
The acceptance from their peers that most new people experience when they become a member of Social Circles is enough to bring even those who consider themselves shy right out of their shell! We’ve watched people go from being reserved to being outgoing and really excited about life, simply because they feel included and comfortable from the first day they join.

12. Will I make friends to socialize with outside of the club?
Friendships that emanate out of Social Circles often do take on a life of their own outside the confines of the club, and many people who met through us as long as 5 and 6 years ago are still close friends today.
