Dinner meet reboot

So a couple months back we decided to restart the dinner meet after a year hiatus. So far we have done pretty well with an average of 14 people per event except for last month where we had half that. Suspect it was due to our usual venue being slammed with helicopter parents waiting for the homecoming dance to let out. Saw a few folks that may have been looking for us but were unsure who was whom in the mess, and we know it is intimidating enough asking around without the added joy of looking for a group of poly/swing people in a crowded venue.
To that end, in an effort to curb confusion I put together a symbol, a simple white rose in a small glass vase that we set on the table nearest to us so people know whom to look for. Worked out quite well.
We got lucky with the dates with year for Nov/Dec, the 3rd Saturday of the month falls over a week and a half before Thanksgiving and Xmas, a notoriously difficult time to get people out. Last nights meet went quite well, and while we are hopeful for December, it it more likely to be a bit slim. Still, come January when it is cold and people are more interested in indoor sports,... Hopefully the new year will bring larger numbers and continue to bring out new faces.
