Pam and I would never exclude anyone. Why would I post it on the "Singles Forum" anymore than the Crisper's invites aren't?
It's not a singles' event. It's not a couples' event. It is a TOTV Happy Hour event. We have never posted any of the "Lets Not Keep Happy to An Hour" get togethers anywhere but in general discussion for all of TOTV.
For those who come to the Happy Hour, we will have a great time! For those who go to the Game Night, you will have a
great time! It's not a competition! Surely, you don't believe these are the only things going on March 15. life is full of choices.

Note to myself: Send special invite to those who "don't have time nor desire to read every post on these threads!!! life is too short".

There is no obligation to post notice of such an event in the singles forum, or any other forum for that matter. The post I had responded to had asked why would someone schedule a party on a date on which another event had already been scheduled. I simply answered that question as best I could, which was to say because the other event had not been posted with its own thread in the singles forum, and I, and I assume some others, do not read many forums. Now I will also add that the nature of the event, and the targeted populations, are different enough that even if Karen had known of it, I join with you in seeing nothing wrong with scheduling the singles party on the same date. I do highly recommend that notice of any event be given its own thread, with an informative title such as "Hookup Mixer, April 1, 7PM, SE corner of Sumter Square".
