Please update any RSVP changes no later than Friday, 9/10/2026. If you are on the Waitlist, please update your RSVP to “Not Going” as soon possible if your availability changes or you’re unable to be on standby if an attendee drops out by or after 9/10/26. Please contact the Event Organizer with any pertinent updates after the cutoff date. Failure to do so may result in a warning and possible suspension/removal from the group after 3 infractions. Membership will also be evaluated if members consistently RSVP but later cancel (even within the appropriate amount of time).

• Venue Note: A new venue policy has put additional financial burden on the Event Host; failure to update your RVSP within 24 hours of the event could result in an immediate removal from the group if the Event Host is charged full price for your unfulfilled reservation. If this occurs, future events at this venue may need to be prepaid.
• Waitlist Note: Often spots open up for the event the week leading up to the event, so even if an event is full, if you add yourself to the Waitlist, it is highly likely you will have a chance to attend.

Thank you to Mary for hosting.

Come join the Pretty Committee for our October book club where the book we'll be discussing will be Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61431922-fourth-wing. Restaurant we'll be meeting at is TBD - will update the event once I have a confirmed reservation. Everyone will be put into a waitlist so I can get a sense of how many people want to come and then once I get a sense around mid-Sept I will make a reservation and folks will come off the waitlist in the order they rsvped.

Please remember to keep your RSVPs current so I know how many people to expect. The organizers of this group get it that things come up/plans change just please change your rsvp and if it's last minute then send a courtesy message to the host or put a post up on the event wall explaining why. We will certainly not fault you if you or someone in your household is sick, an urgent issue comes up, etc.

For those who continue to come to events, bring good company and are not no showing, thank you and we look forward to seeing you at our next books and brunch meetup!
