Have You Tried Glow In The Dark Frisbee?

One of the most enjoyable events I’ve attended thus far has been Glow in the Dark Ultimate Frisbee! Not only were we able to get out and get some good exercise, running up and down the field, but I was able to meet some members I hadn’t met before!  Although I consider myself to be athletic, throwing a Frisbee with precision is difficult – which made for an interesting game! Each team wore their specific glow in the dark bracelet color, which was useful since it was pretty dark outside,  we could see each other easily!
After we had exhausted ourselves with glow in the dark ultimate Frisbee, most of us headed over to Buffalo Wild Wing for a quick bite to eat, only to realize that we were more tired that we had thought! It was great to chat and get to know the other members better and I would definitely attend this event again! Hopefully next time the teams will be more equal! Events And Adventures Phoenix

Giving Back To Our Community!

Every so often we have events were we get to give back to those in need. From gathering blankets to donate to the homeless, collecting art supplies for a kids program, to gathering canned food to donate to those who might be struggling. Events & Adventures likes to actively participate with other like-minded members in giving back to the community.
This weekend, we have just that opportunity. We will be heading to downtown Phoenix, to St. Vincent de Paul’s ‘Henry Unger Dining Room’, to help set up, prepare, serve lunch and clean up.  It won’t just be our group of members though; we’ll be volunteering with several others from the community – so the work will be light! Not only will this event be a great opportunity to give back to those in need, but to meet and get to know other like-minded E & A members! Don’t miss out! Events And Adventures Phoenix

Reliving A Bit Of Our Youth!

Every now and then we like to relive a little bit of our youth here at Events & Adventures!  We need to do something that breaks up the long, mundane-work-week with a fun activity that is ‘out of the norm’ from some of the typical weekly activities.  This week’s midweek event was just that. We went out and played ourselves a couple games of Laser Tag!
There’s something about running around a dark room, shooting laser lights at other members in the club, yelling to your team mates to help you out because you’re in a tough spot, and coming out victorious in the game against other E & A members!  
Afterwards, we usually grab an appetizer or drink and discuss the how fun and how long it’s been since we last played laser tag. We get to meet and talk with the members of the opposing team that we haven’t met yet; and yes, you’ll always remember how you won the game by tagging someone’s laser vest you didn’t know!  It’s a lot like reliving your youth and it’s not a common event here in the club, but sometimes it’s just what was needed to get us through a long week of work.
