Tour Pilot Dogs, Walk, and Lunch at Tommy’s Diner

**I’ve always been in awe of Seeing Eye Dogs and how they provide independence to someone with visual impairments. I recently had a chance to chat with one of our members, Patty, about her volunteer service at Pilot Dogs. And that conversation led to this tour.** **A Pilot Dog can transform the life of someone who is blind or visually impaired, providing freedom and self-confidence. What a priceless gift.** **If you’d like to learn more about how this is done, or have an interest in volunteering for Pilot Dogs, please join us for this 90 minute tour.** **We will follow with a two mile walk (18-20 minute/mile pace) and then lunch at Tommy’s Diner (recommended by the Pilot Dog staff). https://maps.app.goo.gl/gKsoyanQEsK49YW87?g_st=ic**

Grand Illumination Bar Hop!

Kick off the holiday season! We'll meet at PINS to start our lights tour of The Strand and The Yard at Easton (the hip, far north section). Take your eyes to the sky around 7PM and watch as over two-million lights simultaneously illuminate Easton for the season. **WHAT**: We'll hop from PINS to nearby Forbidden Root for eats? Beeline for cocktails? a Coopers Hawk wine tasting? and The Yard for festive fun (last year they hosted Silent Disco)! The Bar Hop will be fluid so groups can walkabout and linger at a spot or move on to another, all surrounding the wonderful contemporary holiday lights at The Yard. **AFTER PARTY**: Those who want to hang around can reserve lanes at PINS or groove at Beeline or sit around giant fire pits. **PARKING**: Best bet are garages on either side of PINS.

Blendonwood Ravine Day Hike, 10:30 am

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
