We hope you’re enjoying the last summer weekend. Fall is now in full swing. Our next 3T event is for every Tomato navigating the dating world. The 92Y Street Festival is Sunday. There’s a Golden Rolodex event this Monday night with the fabulous Christina Connors, this year’s Tomatoes Got Talent winner.  Shouldn’t girls everywhere have a chance to success? Join us for a special event. Valerie Smaldone says “Derren Brown Secret,” is a jaw-dropping experience.  And check out the highlights of our organizing event this past week with Andrew Mellen who inspired all of us to “Unstuff Our Lives”. Here are highlights below of several not to be missed events.

Are you frustrated and weary in today’s topsy crazy dating world? Are you tired of first dates that never to get to second dates? Are you just starting to get back into the dating game? Are you looking for a mate and not just a date? Well this event is for you ladies. And by the way, even if you’re not dating, you’ll enjoy this very entertaining evening – join us and bring a single friend.  Get tickets.
