Outside of my comfort zone, but I have attended the Christmas party for the last two years and I have been encouraged to attend the social parties as well. I did attend the Halloween party 8 years ago (bowling), but ended up injured and have not gone again!

Yes.  We have a St. Patrick's Day and Halloween bowling event.  Last week the Affiliates Committee put on a networking mixer that was "Speed Dating" themed, since the event was the day after Valentine's Day.

My YPN Committee is doing a St. Patrick's Day themed mixer the Thursday before St. Patty's Day.  We're also doing one for the best holiday ever... Oktoberfest in September!

For our Association, the annual installation of officers is the big social event. There are other sponsored by subsets of the AOR such as YPN and WCR. I attend very few. They can be enjoyable but time is an issue.

They are getting better at adding a variety of events. I do not attend any of them any longer as the big company agents congregate and look down at anyone else. You will have this big comapny in this corner and that big comapny in the other corner. I stay working and sell while everyone else is at the event
