Let me start with a quick story...

Have you ever received something big — like a car, furniture, or even a home appliance — for free? You appreciated it… but let’s be honest, you probably didn’t treat it with the same care or pride. Now think about the time you worked hard, saved up, and finally bought that item yourself. Different feeling, right? You took care of it. You valued it more. You showed it off with pride. Why? Because you had skin in the game. The heart of this organization has been fueled by people who believe in it deeply, and gave generously to make it happen.

LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY

You’ve helped build something truly special, and it deserves to be celebrated.

- We have 15 active chapters, and they are GROWING.

- 25% of attendees are brand new at every single event — people are hearing about us and choosing to show up.

- We’ve had thousands of real introductions that sparked collaborations, job hires, partnerships, and even friendships.

- Nonprofits are being seen, supported, and spotlighted.

- Our quarterly Conversations Over Cocktails draws 100–170 attendees for powerful connections, fundraising, and fun.

This is NOT just a networking group. It’s a movement of go-givers, collaborators, and community builders. Together we’ve done all of this without ever having a formal membership.

WHY MEMBERSHIP… AND WHY NOW?

We’ve already proven what’s possible — now it’s time to go further, together. Mix & Mingle is growing fast. More chapters. More attendees. More opportunities to make a real impact. But growth without structure leads to burnout. We need sustainability. Support. And shared investment. That’s why we’re launching the M&M Membership. This isn’t about putting a price on something that was once free. It’s about building something even greater — and doing it together. When we invest in something, we show up differently. We protect it. We support it. We take pride in it. And we invite others to do the same.

Founding Member status is only available for a limited time. Once this window closes — it’s gone. Those who say YES now will always be recognized as the ones who helped shape this next chapter.

FINAL WORD:

We’re not asking you to buy into something. We’re inviting you to own something you’ve already helped build. This isn’t just a new tier. It’s a new temperature — a sign of how much this movement means to you, and how much more is possible when we rise together. Because when you invest in something…

✓ You show up differently.

✓ You lead with intention.

✓ You help it grow.

And this next chapter of Mix & Mingle isn’t just about showing up… It’s about standing up as a leader in a community that’s rewriting the rules of business networking. Let’s build what’s next — together.
