We’re looking for Additional 2026 Shoreline Social hosts!
We kicked off this event series in 2025 with great success.
…But we can’t keep the good times going in 2026 without your help. We’re looking for monthly Shoreline Social hosts with the first event planned for March 2026.
For these events hosts provide the venue, paper plates, cups, and napkins. That’s it!
Guests will bring their own beverages and an appetizer or dessert dish to share. It’s a casual, easy way to build community and enjoy good food and great company by the lake.
Each Social will be a unique event with the date and group size chosen by the host. We can cap the party at whatever size you’d like.
