If we had a room in a rec center we could certainly hold a round table discussion but there would be no food unless you brought your own.
Another thought would be after a certain time frame you would move so that you would be talking to other couples sort of like glorified speed dating. That might also work.
Just some suggestions.

One of the good things about the patio at Crispers and the gathering being at three o clock. A lot of folks don't want to eat then and most will order a drink. They don't seem to mind. But restaurants are in business to make money and having to eat...kind of interupts the general getting to know each other with the ordering and the serving and the sitting in a "regular" restaurant.
Most of us "oldies" will go around and shake everyone's hand individually because we know who is new and who is "old". (pardon the expression) and try to get a little interaction going. We just kind of bring our chairs in a big circle on the patio and although it is so hot we can kind of communicate.
Good job Tainsley. The heat was horrific yesterday and the cool interior was the place to be. I am sorry I missed it and I am sorry that our dear Mayor, KathieI wasn't there. She goes way back and knows everyone
I am glad that new ones are hosting, everyone appreciates your efforts
It is a sweet and wonderful thing to meet the folks you have already gotten to know on TOTV.
