Hi Brooke
      Happy Anniversary! I really wish I could come to this dinner but I won't be able to. Thanks for all you've done to keep DD going for 5 years and I look forward to another 5 years (or 10 or 20!). Take care and see you soon.

Hi Brooke
      Just wanted to say thanks for a great night. Our table was the last to leave, as we were enjoying talking to one another and getting to know each other. I am so glad that I joined.

Hi Brooke
      It was a great time last evening at Costa's!!!! It was nice to see familiar faces, as well as meet new people. The food was outstanding and of course you were as gracious as always! I forgot how much I liked the group.

Thought you would like to know a little "gossip" on another group I overheard some people at my table discussing. They said they went as a guest and were not introduced by the people in charge to anyone else! If it weren't for the person they went with, they might as well have left, because no one came up to them to say welcome. They complimented you on introducing everyone to each other and making everyone feel special-what a compliment!!!!!!!!!!

Just thought you would want to know.

See You Soon.

      Just a short note to say "Job Well Done." The Party at Danada House was a lot of fun. The food was great, the music good and the venue fantastic.

Dear Brooke,
      I'm sure everyone with Delightful Dining has their own story about what brought them to the group. Two years ago several things changed in my life. I wasn't sure that I would/could have fun and enjoy myself again. Thanks for providing a place to talk, have fun, laugh, at at times even act silly.

Delightful Dining (in a very short time) has brought me experiences that I look forward to twice a month.

Sincerely,
Pat

Hi Brooke,
      Even though I never joined, I was lucky enough to meet someone at the one event I attended as a guest, and we are still together, 16 months later!! Thanks so much. You have a great organization. If I am ever in a position to be looking for someone again, I will be in touch. But in the meantime, you might as well take me off the mailing list. I hope I will NOT be in touch.

      Just wanted to let you know what a great experience Delightful Dining was for me. I attended several events and always enjoyed a quality evening in mixed company. I met Lee H. at a May 2000 event and we quickly realized how much we had in common and how much we enjoyed each other's company. Lee asked me to marry him on the 2nd anniversary of that meeting. We had a lovely wedding on November 30, 2002, in Lake Geneva, WI surrounded by our delighted families.

Take care.

Hi Brooke
      I really enjoyed the evening and plan on attending the next event in December. What appealed to me most was the variety of quality people and the lack of "pressure" that apparently is so common to singles events. The KeyWester was a great venue to hold the event - both the food and entertainment were great. Since I don't live out that way, it was a new place to check out. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job at coordinating the evening.

All the Best!

Hi Brooke
      I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed Michael's and had a great time! It was fun to have the band to listen to after dinner and people stayed longer and mixed with the rest of the people in the restaurant. Two people from the group were still there when I left at 11:30.......and, if I didn't have such a long ride, I probably would have stayed longer, too. It was a great idea to find a place where they had entertainment/activities going on after dinner so that we could mix and mingle with the group and others!

Thanks!

      Thank you so much for such a wonderful day we had last Saturday at the races. It was a great experience, and one I probably would not have experienced if I had not been a member of Delightful Dining.

      I wanted to let you know that I had a great time at Zookeepers on Sat., May 4 !!! The music & the dancing with so many other D.D. guests was sooooo much fun!! It brought back wonderful memories of high school & college days and dances. I love the music of the 70s & 80s.

You are both truly deeply spirited in your cause. I enjoyed the company at the table and will look forward to more good times.

      What a GREAT GREAT evening! This shindig was the #1 event to date! I've never been an Austin Powers fan. However, David, you sucked me right in. Never have I laughed as hard at an event.

      Hi guys! I thought I would let you know that I had a very nice time last night! Sure enough, the event was not intimidating. I enjoyed the conversation and meeting new people. My membership check is on its way to you.

      I had a wonderful time at the Uglyduck Dinner Cruise event. I've tried many singles things and this was one of the nicest events I've ever done. And, your annual membership fee is considerably less than some of the others. I plan to join Delightful Dining!

Thanks again, Jim I. (Guest)

      I'm sending you this e-mail to let you know I mailed my application and a check for membership today. I thoroughly enjoyed Saturday night. From what I've seen so far, you two should be commended on running a top-notch service. I had an excellent meal and lively conversation with my fellow diners.

Thanks again, Mark M. (Guest)

      I wanted to tell you what a great time I had Saturday night at The Clubhouse [1st Anniversary party]. I enjoyed speaking with everyone at my table.

Thanks again for your time and all the work that you did last weekend — I suspect you'll be celebrating many more anniversaries.

Emily M. (Member)

      Congratulations on a fantastic 1st year! I have enjoyed every event enormously. I don't know where you find the time to organize them so well. Thanks again.

Cathy G. (Member)

April 11, 1999

      Thank you for another GREAT event. I was honored to be part of your 1st Anniversary party. This was special — a reflection of the success that you have both created. More importantly, you create that environment that makes all of us feel comfortable. I think this is the most important element, which now shows by your membership level. That environment is also a reflection of who you are as a couple — this says a lot. Something of which you can be proud.

You allow us to satisfy needs — those being just to know there's another world out there besides the workplace or our homes on a Friday or Saturday night. Your events offer opportunities to make new friends. I'm happy to say I've got a small group of buddies and after last night I've added a couple more. These gatherings fill a void and also create new opportunities. Some of which we may not even be aware of yet — but may realize it down the road — be it professional or personal.

I'm privileged to know both of you and wish you yet another 4000% increase [in membership] on your 2nd Anniversary.

      Just a note to let you know I enjoyed the dinner and theater very much. The company was very pleasant and the play was such fun! I had positive feedback about Delightful Dining from others that I chatted with last night, which, combined with my pleasant first time experience, means you'll definitely see me again. You are wonderful hosts.

Thank you again - see you soon.

      I have to tell you, the last event was so nice, and so many new and friendly people. I so very much enjoyed myself and appreciate all you've done to get this club going for single people.

It's so nice to be able to have male and female conversation at a table. And the people were just delightful, even afterwards, when I stayed and talked and everybody mixed. So thank you! I'll see you in a couple of weeks.

      Thank you for hosting such a lovely evening Saturday night. I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about attending such an event. However, there was no need for my skepticism. I had a wonderful evening, as did my friends Jerry and Sandy. All of us met such nice people.

I look forward to joining and attending another event in the near future. Thanks again.

      Just wanted to drop a complimentary note on how well last night worked out. The food was good and, more importantly, the company was great. It has been some time since I've met a woman as exceptional as Rosanne. Good job on the seating assignment!

Thanks again,
