DIALOG IN THE DARK & SOCIAL NETWORKING FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO HAPPEN TO BE SINGLE™ AT THE GRAPE-ATLANTIC STATION

Wednesday, February 3, 6:45PM SHARP (We will gather in near the front of the ticket booth)

Event sponsored jointly by Center for Social Connections, Atlanta’s Upscale Singles, and Mingling in Atlanta for Dialog in the Dark— your senses will never be the same! Blind or visually impaired guides will lead all through a specially constructed and totally darkened Exhibition, in which sounds, wind, temperatures, and textures convey the characteristics of common daily environments such as a park or cityscape.  In the dark, these environments take on a whole new dimension and reliance on the guides is a must for security and orientation in this world without pictures. Tasks that used to be simple are now challenging. Depending on our other senses, we’ll learn to “see” in an entirely new way. This experience leads to reflection where social perceptions are changed.  We’ll leave with a better understanding of ourselves, an appreciation of the beauty that isn’t seen, and a newfound respect for others.  After this “sense-sational” event, we’ll gather at The Grape for some stimulating conversation, fruit of the vine, and a good time connecting with other sharp professionals who just happen to be single! Make reservations by Jan 29th.  Investment for this unique, special value duo event available only thru our sponsors is $32 includes Admission to Dialog in the Dark, $5 per glass of select wines, complimentary cheese board, 50% off retail bottles of wine, and GREAT connections!  Atlantic Station  265 18th Street Atlanta 30363 Atlantic Drive (across from Publix) 2nd Floor Elevator 5. Best place to park: Dillard’s parking garage. Reserve your spot. marie@centerforsocialconnections.com 678.689.7859 Social Networking Plus Lock & Key Event, March 10th
