September Calendar

SINGLES MINGLE
Wednesday, September 13
5:00 PM (PT), 7:00 PM (CT), 8:00 PM (ET)
Approximate Duration: 75 minutes

Spend time making meaningful connections with other single ladies! Think of speed dating but without the pressure!

Grab your beverage of choice and come on in! We’ll start off in the main room to welcome everyone before sending you off to different rooms with small groups of women. This will be repeated many times throughout the evening, offering an opportunity to meet and converse with different guests in each room.

We have been offering this party format since March 2020, and it truly works in creating connections!

Our guests may be visiting from all over the country, and even the world, but in the virtual world and the “new norm,” there really is no such thing as geographically undesirable!

Whether you’re looking for romance or friendship, you’ve come to the right place!

Please Note: Cameras are required to be on during this event.

BOOK READING: An Acquired Taste by Cheri Ritz
Sunday, September 17
4:00 PM (PT), 6:00 PM (CT), 7:00 PM (ET)
Approximate Duration: 60 minutes

About the Book:
When Elle Bissett agrees to go on a televised celebrity cooking competition, she’s expecting to get some television face time, not go head-to-head with Ashley Castle, an acting rival from her youth. If she could only keep her focus on the recipes instead of getting distracted by Ashley’s piercing blue eyes, she should have no problem earning the title of Celebrity Cook-Off Champion.

For Ashley Castle, appearing on the cooking competition show is a surefire way for her to earn the homemaker cred she desperately needs... at least according to her agent. The fanbase of her reality show, Queen of the Castle, has been waning steadily since her divorce. The only problem is, she doesn’t know how to cook. It doesn’t help that Elle Bissett keeps dazzling her with something more than those mad kitchen skills she keeps showing off. If she could just find a way to focus, she might stand a chance.

About the Author:
Cheri Ritz loves a good romance, so writing some happily ever after stories to share with the world is a dream come true! She enjoys spending cozy weekends marathoning TV shows and brushing up on pop culture trivia. She is also an avid crafter. She lives in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her wife, three sons, and the sweetest cat in the world.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
by Aliza Kelly
Libra is an air sign represented by the scales (interestingly, the only inanimate object of the zodiac), an association that reflects Libra’s fixation on balance and harmony. Libra is obsessed with symmetry and strives to create equilibrium in all areas of life. These air signs are the aesthetes of the zodiac: Ruled by Venus, the planet that governs love, beauty, and money, Libras adore high art, intellectualism, and connoisseurship. Suave Libras need to surround themselves with stunning objects and create environments that reflect their exquisite tastes. Accordingly, these air signs make excellent designers, decorators, art critics, and stylists.

WATCH THE TRAILER

A documentary by Kathryn L. Beranich and Andrea Meyerson

Community has always been the driving force behind Andrea Meyerson’s work. And that did not change when COVID-19 locked us down, Andrea devised a plan to keep lesbians connected and entertained.

On March 20, 2020, she launched Women On The Net and went live five nights a week via Zoom. Women all over the world came together for events that included comedians, films, musicians, panel discussions, parties, and more. These nightly gatherings helped alleviate the loneliness and feelings of isolation by bringing joy, laughter, and new friends into these women’s lives.

Andrea called it distant socializing, the participants called it a silver lining.

As the world has started to open up, AN UNEXPECTED COMMUNITY, a documentary about Women On The Net has gone into production to preserve this piece of lesbian herstory and celebrate the beauty of our community. We would be most grateful if you would consider supporting the making of this film.

All contributions made through the Center for Independent Documentary (CID), our fiscal sponsor, are tax-deductible. No donation is too small!

Please click on the Donations link for more information regarding our fiscal sponsor and the documentary, currently in production.

And be sure to watch the video — you might see yourself in it! However, not seeing yourself in this crowdfunding video does not mean you won’t still be featured in the film!
