This is an experiment in community building that we're trying out at The Ruby! For 8 consecutive Mondays (to start — we'll see how it goes!) we'll be meeting at The Ruby in regular, small groups, to discuss our lives, current events, and lots more. The hypothesis we're testing is this: it takes time and consistency to build good friendships.

We're calling these weekly meetings "Friend Groups." Friend Groups are for Ruby members who crave meaningful conversations and deeper friendships. The hope is that you'll come away from Friend Groups with friends you can rely on, and that you'll get to know your fellow Ruby members more deeply.

We ask that you commit to attending your Friend Group with regularity; we ask that you do your level best to make it every week to your Friend Group. This is part of the experiment, after all!
