Frequently Asked Questions

How much do events cost?
SPN negotiates the best possible price for each of its activities and passes that cost on directly to members. Many events have no fixed fees, so you pay only for what you consume. Other events have a fixed price calculated to cover the costs. Some house parties are free but require your own beverage and food to share. There may be an additional charge for guests. Overall, costs to participate in an event are nominal and much less than you would pay to a for-profit organization for similar events.

Why do I have to join?
SPN is a membership-based organization, and the annual membership fee pays for club expenses as well as subsidizing costs such as live entertainment and events that the organization provides its members. Becoming a member enables you to attend not only the events listed on our Events Calendar but also home parties and other events that are reserved for members only. Members also receive a monthly newsletter outlining events as well as a weekly email reminder of events.

Can I attend events without being a member?
We encourage you to attend several events to get a feel for the organization before joining. We request that interested singles join SPN within three months of an initial event. That should be sufficient time for you to decide whether you would enjoy SPN.

How do I join?
To become a member, download an application and submit it as described under the JOIN SPN tab. Each month, the Board of Directors reviews membership applications prior to their approval.

How can I get to know people?
Just show up to one of our events, and someone will welcome you and make you feel at home! One easy way is to attend the Wednesday or Friday evening happy hours which are held somewhere between 4 PM and 5 PM (based on the venue's happy hour times) at different popular restaurants. After joining, maximize your experience by getting involved. Volunteer to host a party or help organize an event.
