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.

All About Members Meetings....

Once a month the Phoenix Events & Adventures Club has an event where we get together to discuss upcoming events that are on the calendar, go over events that the members want to see ON the calendar and then to discuss any of the Club Wide Trips (international and stateside) that are coming up! These Member Meetings are great in that everyone has the opportunity to talk about what they want to see on the calendar in way of events!

Phoenix is HUGE and with so many cool places to check out, events happening throughout The Valley – throughout the year, it’s great to hear directly from club members and what they’re most interested going and doing together!  From an Event Managers perspective, I’m most interested in what the members want to go and do, it’s their club! As always, event ideas and suggestions can be emailed in, but it’s always great to discuss them as a large group!

The next Member Meeting is this Friday! All members are invited to come to the meeting and as always, we have a fun post meeting event planned! Events And Adventures Phoenix

Checking Out Local Brunch Spots!

Once and sometimes twice a month, the Event & Adventures Crew likes to check out the local breakfast/lunch joints throughout The Valley.  From upscale restaurants serving endless mimosas, to hole-in-the-wall locations that create delicious masterpieces in their own right, we are constantly in pursuit of the best brunch around!  

Phoenix has plenty of well renowned restaurants, and even more hidden gems serving up breakfast and lunch that has us finding our new “favorite spot”, monthly!  Depending on what you’re interested in, you’re sure to see it on the calendar eventually – and suggestions are always welcome!  

Going out for brunch is always a great way to start ones day, as we get to meet other members, talk about the weekend’s events and anything else that might be going on! This is definitely an event you won’t want to miss out on – check out February’s calendar to see where we’re headed to next! Events And Adventures Phoenix

This Is The Time Of The Year To Get Outdoors!

This time of year in Arizona is great for outdoor events! While the rest of the country is being blanketed by snow, rain and single digit temperatures, we’re lucky to avoid any shoveling of snow and freezing weather all together! This past weekend, we took advantage of it by going out Saturday for a bike ride and Sunday for a hike!

What better way to start your weekend than to get a little bit of exercise with friends in the morning? There’s something about getting out into the fresh, crisp air, stretching your legs – whether it’s via peddling during a bike ride or hiking on a mountain!  And as most of you know, here in Arizona, we have to take advantage of this time of year, because summer will be here before you know it!  We have several hikes coming up this month, including a full moon hike! Now is the time to take advantage of getting out and hiking, without dealing with the heat! Events And Adventures Phoenix

Another Great New Years Eve!

New Year’s Eve with Events and Adventures was a blast!  It was great to see everyone all dressed up and ready to party! Like most women I have dresses that I love and never get to wear so there was no way I was passing up the opportunity to wear a little cocktail dress I bought in August!  It’s been collecting dust for way too long! 

The location was great, in Old Town Scottsdale and between the food, cocktails and dancing,  the night flew by!  There were great deals on rooms too, which was good because the dancing went on until 3am!  I loved my “swag bag” full of goodies, especially the glasses and vitamins for the next day.  I can’t believe I stayed out so late, I felt like a teenager again! A good time was had by all, that’s for sure. Events And Adventures Phoenix
