Smerconish Mingle Meetup #10

About this event

**The Mingle Meetup – Round Ten!** **Thursday\, October 22 \| 5:30–7:30 p\.m\.** 📍 **El Poquito, Chestnut Hill** 🍸 **Happy Hour & Mingling:** 5:30–6:00 p.m. 🗣️ **Group Discussion Begins:** 6:00 p.m. Following a summer hiatus, we're excited to gather again for our **tenth Philly Mingle Meetup**. What started as a small experiment has grown into a welcoming group of people connected by curiosity, respectful dialogue, and a genuine interest in engaging with different perspectives. Every meetup has introduced new voices, thoughtful conversations, and friendships that extend beyond a single evening. We're looking forward to continuing that momentum together. As always, the first half hour is reserved for casual mingling during happy hour—a chance to grab a drink, meet someone new, reconnect with familiar faces, and settle in before our group discussion begins at **6:00 p.m.** Please note that attendees are responsible for purchasing their own food and beverages. **RSVPs remain simple and open. If you've responded through Meetup—whether you're marked as "going" or on the waitlist—you are welcome to attend.** Meetup's RSVP limits won't prevent participation, so if you've added your name, we hope you'll join us. Inspired by **The Mingle Project**, these gatherings are for people who value thoughtful conversation, respectful disagreement, and the opportunity to better understand one another. Come expecting good food, conversation, and discussions about the ideas, issues, and experiences shaping our communities and everyday lives. Have a topic or question you'd like the group to explore? We'd love to hear your suggestions. Whether this will be your first meetup or you've attended in the past, we'd love to have you with us. Questions? Feel free to email **[joe.stanzione@gmail.com](mailto:joe.stanzione@gmail.com)** or send a message through Meetup. Looking forward to another great evening together!
