If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. Henry David Thoreau, 1817 - 1862

sobella I politely respond and then sincerely ask. Thanks, but no thanks. Being a recovering alcoholic, that's probably not a healthy environment for me. Do you ever have any non-alcohol events? Or kid friendly gatherings? Sorry, I don't see what the big deal is. I'll make you a deal. If the EATS club joins me at our "Married Life Live" night at church, Friday, Oct. 10 7:30 pm for a fantastic night of live music, GREAT FOOD, hilarious skits and prizes. No politics, No arguments, No PRIDE. (Childcare provided) Then I would be honored to accept an invitation to one of your events.

Explorer, you've missed the point. You are more than welcome and everyone is invited. The EATS club started because of the many grand reviews of local restaurants within an hour's drive of the Ville. SLP graciously stepped up to organize the events. She bases her decisions on the reputations of the restaurants and their dessert menu, not their wine list. She spends many hours organizing and getting reservations and trying to herd up the RSVP's in a central location for car pooling and answering transportation needs. Once a month, we get together for adult conversation and occasionally, there is an event organized for families. This is not a closed event. You are certainly welcome to attend. And if you choose not to, please don't make ugly remarks about "not being invited." The only decadence we are experiencing is the cheesecake.
And for what it's worth, I consider God's gospel to be as relevant to my children as any adult - so when I worship, I do with my children. No childcare is required. But thanks for the invitation. If I find I need an adult evening out and there is no EATS social planned, I may just dump my kids and head to the scheduled service.

She won't tailor the event for any one person.
