Checking Out Hot New Restaurants!

Bitter & Twisted, Phoenix’s hot new restaurant downtown was a major hit for E&A members!!  Of course fun was had by all – Where have you been recently that you can get meals that vary from a burger with lemon grass and black pepper crusted patty with a house pate’, shaved pickles, spring herbs and jalapeno mayo, or Fried chicken with cheese gravy and watermelon kimchi???  An appetizer that caught my eye was their “Popcorn”!!  It consisted of butter, garlic, nori & shichimi spicy rice crackers.  Their sweets menu had “Campfire Marshmallows”!  Yummm!  The food was served family style, so we all got to taste a bit of everyone else’s!
The food was good, location was awesome, good ambiance and great prices!  The restaurant even had a menu for Booze & Beer to go!!  This is definitely a place for us to revisit and try out some of their other menu items!  Down the road they are putting together fun cocktail classes………….There’s an idea for a calendar event!!

Every Month We Have A New Member Ice Breaker!

Every month, usually around the beginning of the month, we have a New Member Ice Breaker event.  It’s a great way for anyone new to the club to come and meet other new members! There’s nothing worse than feeling like you’re the newbie when it “looks” like everyone else has known each other for years. Although that’s usually not the case, we still want to make sure that being new to Events & Adventures, you feel welcomed and know that you’re not the only newbie around!  

The New Member Ice Breaker event is a great way to get situated into the club! It’s a also great to know that you and all the other “newbies” are attending your very first event together, at the same time. In these meetings we go over some basic E & A 101 information. What if you’re late? What if you can’t make an event or what if you don’t have that last meeting and can now make it to an event that you haven’t signed up for? We’ll go over all the general information and basic protocol, but the best part about these meetings: you get to meet other new members! We always play a fun ice breaker that gets people talking and meeting as many people right off the bat! It’s a fun, pressure free way to get to know the ‘ends and outs’ of the club, while meeting new people and making new friends! Events and Adventures Phoenix

Let's Play Volleyball!

Every week by popular demand we gather to “dig in” and play some volleyball!  This is a great way to meet other members and just get out and have some fun after a day of work.  We meet after the heat of the day has passed (somewhat) and sink our toes in the sand at CrackerJax in Scottsdale for a couple hours of Bumps, sets and even some pretty impressive spikes!!  It’s always fun, definitely entertaining and yes even competitive!  We normally follow-up our heated game with food and drinks at a nearby venue where the liveliness continues!
