Remember Poly Speed Dating?  Apparently our “twice a year” goal means a “once a year” reality. Spring is a thing, and with it comes that frisky feeling.

We are finalizing the last details and getting our registration site up, but we wanted to send out a “save the date” email for June 9th, with doors at 6:30pm in Somerville as soon as we could.  We will (fingers crossed) launch registration in a couple of weeks, so keep a look out for that email.

If you know of people interested, then have them sign up for our (very, very low traffic) email list at https://polyspeeddating.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=56d6c94f15d73216445f488a3&id=a207b0249f

A reminder: everything we do is incredibly old school. Our systems work, but barely.  We don’t do fancy.  I mean, just look at this web page!

Also, we received an event notice for a panel and mixer on May 12th at the Aeronaut Brewery, Somerville. Details here: https://www.resonancematch.com/events/mixer-for-the-enm-community
