Celebrating the Leap Year

Thank you to all of you who came out to the Leap Year Dinner! It was a lot of fun. The food was great and the guessing game was pretty funny. We'll have to post some of the answers to the questions on here. Thanks to Monica for organizing the game, food, and sending out the e-mails. Michelene will plan the next one and we'll announce it in the next week or two. We had 11 men and 11 women there! Thanks for inviting out your friends- invite a few more in March.

I should have taken some photos, but didn't, so here are a few images from old-time Leap Year celebrations. I also read a little more on these Leap Year Traditions this past week. They are interesting and worth reading. There is even more here on Leap Year balls and dances. Good for a smile. -Loren

Ta-da! Announcing the amazing Northern Utah Dinner Group Blog!

Monica and I (Loren) thought that we'd make a site for the monthly dinner group she and others founded for single adults along the Wasatch Front. The group usually meets the 4th Thursday of the month and in January we met at the SkyBox in the Gateway. For February we're meeting for dinner and games at Loren's house in Kaysville.

We have decided to hold this next dinner group activity on February 29th to celebrate the Leap Year! It only comes around every four years, you know. We're trying to get even numbers of men and women, so we may have to clone Steve Glain once or twice to make it work. Just kidding Steve (but we will keep your DNA on file).
Thanks! -Loren
