I was looking up things to do during Labor Day Weekend that wasn't Bumbershoot. The options were…read morefew, since they would be competing with Bumbershoot. I found the The Emerald City Wanderers Volkksport Club because they had a walk on Saturday (Sept 5), called "Celebrate American Labor - a working waterfront walk in the Duwamish Waterway area." It was a non-competitive 10k or 5k walk through West Seattle. My friend and I showed up late, but were able to get a list of instructions for the 5k. It was a nice day so we took in some sights since either of us ever go to West Seattle (and certainly don't go walking around in it). We did get lost a couple times and that was confusing (explaining that we wanted to continue walking and not quit and go home to the volunteers who were picking up their signs) and amusing (hiking up this rocky steep hill to get back on course) and kind of scary (we were at this underpass where there were cars parked with people sleeping/living in them). But the gist of the club is that the members find walks in various neighborhoods, write down instructions and then they have several organized group walks a year. You can also buy a patch ($8) when you complete a walk...which I did. I'm looking forward to getting a sash to hold all my "prizes" (the lady at the check in table kept telling us that we had to return to collect our prize, it was really cute). We would walk again, but probably wouldn't start as late as we did (we were 30mins late). As mentioned earlier, there were spots where it was more shady, perhaps if we were in a group it wouldn't be as scary. Also, I think a few of the instructions were off (a "left" instead of "right") and a bit unclear. We back-tracked a couple times and on the second time, decided to just keep following their signs (there were paper signs and ribbons along the way), sometimes there was no signage for a while other times there were three within eyesight. But the folks were pretty nice and it's something random, easy, fun to do when it's nice out. :)

The pool of daters was pretty meh and it's hard to remember all the conversations. The venue was…read morereally loud. I've been to other mixers that were much better run.

The event setup was professional and prompt. Billing and customer service was excellent…read more The match response by e-mail was as advertised and truthful. I attended the event to try a different approach than online dating since it never worked. I decided to see what kind of women are attending if I went 5 times. Not a huge loss if I get nothing. Result: 3 to 4 will flake. 2 to 3 are rude or drunk. Remainder are overweight and desperate. I did meet 3 women and they all trun out with mental issues. Advise: Attend a sport or hobby club event you personally like and make real friends w zero expectations. Goes a long ways. People are normal and you network for other people as well if they get to know you well. So far I met 3 female friends in 2 weeks with little effort or akwardness on the women. Relationship is not something that occurs overnight and be based on a 8 minute conversation.

A free wine club with awesome events!…read more I've recently joined the club and been to two events. You get newsletters each month telling you what's going on. They have fancy events and not-so fancy, but they are never pretentious. I always feel comfortable asking questions at the pouring events and have sampled some really great wines. The best event so far was in Woodinville where I got to taste 2-3 wines at 15 wineries for only $15! That's a GREAT deal for us folks who love wine but aren't rolling in the money. All you need to make a great evening is a designated driver!

I've been a member of this club for a year and have gotten a lot out of it. The people are not…read moreonly friendly and welcoming to new members, but they are super helpful and supportive with the Toastmaster program. The members have a wide range of experience and skill levels. You can work at your own pace - take it slow and observe for a while before jumping in or you can dive in right away with speaking activities. I joined Toastmasters to help get over nerves with public speaking, and to practice speaking in front of groups in both a professional setting and non-work setting (e.g. officiating a wedding). I have gotten much more out of the club than just getting over nerves. I feel more relaxed with presenting, but I also feel more confident putting together presentations and giving feedback to others. If you are thinking of joining a club - you can come as a guest a few times to figure out if this is a good fit for you.

I was looking for a club that had a genuine warmth, a big heart and a robust and diverse membership in terms of age, race and life goals. My search ended with Seattle Sunrise.

It continues welcoming new members and continues it long history of earning a distinguished club status through Toastmasters International. New members say they like the website. See what you think.
