Join Us and Connect with Portland Women
-
How often are your events?We organize one to two events per month varying in price point and activity to appeal to all types of women in Portland, Maine.
-
Why do you charge for events?We’re committed to providing a welcoming, organized, and established space for women to connect and make friends—a rare and valuable opportunity that makes meeting new people in person easier and more enjoyable. This fee helps cover the costs and significant time associated with organizing and hosting our events, including venue rentals, building relationships with local venues and some activities. We’ve found that when members invest in these experiences, it adds to the value and commitment of everyone attending, creating a more meaningful and enjoyable gathering. Along with monitoring the Facebook community and Instagram accounts it all takes time and is a small compensation to create these meaningful experiences. A reminder that it's FREE to be a member of this group, our Facebook community, and for anyone to attend our events. Many social groups charge a yearly fee just to be granted access. In order to continue to allow this free membership, it's necessary to have small event fees. We strive to keep our events accessible and enjoyable for everyone and truly appreciate your understanding and support. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
