"I recently became aware of your club online. What a great idea! I've been in Toronto for 5 1/2 years and oddly enough, the longer I'm here the more difficult I'm finding it to meet new people. I would like to see what it's all about". D.W.
"I only wish that this club existed when I first moved to Toronto 20 years ago. I am so impressed by the 'real women' in the club and the diverse events you put on. I haven't had this much fun ... ever! Thank you so much for reminding me that having fun is just as important as my career, as I seem to forget that sometimes, and the spring in my step is owed to my more 'balanced'' life since finding this fabulous club". A.D.
"Thanks for the pics and fabulous time - you definitely made the evening fun for all. My next step is to join as a member... with smiles." J.D. Quote from attendee at Mix & Mingle Dinner
"Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the whole day yesterday at NOTL! Thank you for organizing such a wonderful day! From the limos to the champagne to the tastings, shopping, everything was terrific! including the weather! And thank you for the pictures too! I really enjoyed myself and meeting so many great women too." M.G.
"Thanks for sending along the pics so quickly. I had a great time and thought this event was super fun!" A.C.
"Great day yesterday. Can't wait to break into the Ice Wine. Great job, well done." G.K.
"... my friend backed out this morning. Something about not wanting to leave the city....I am getting so sick to death of my friends that I am liking this GNOC more and more!" J.F.
"I have read a lot of the testimonials on your site and the info regarding that this is "clique" free! That was one of my biggest disappointments when I started working, some women just don't get past "high school". I also have been down the "try to rally everyone to do things" road but I find they back out and maybe it's a sign of the times but in order to save face and appear very busy, people would rather pass on outings by pretending that they are already "booked" which later on you learn was not really the case. Plus so many claim to want to try new things but when you call their bluff they are too timid to step outside of their comfort zones (then still complain about life being boring!). Thanks for assuring me and I am looking forward to Sunday more than ever!" Favorite quote: Many people die at twenty-five and don't get buried until they are seventy. Andrew Matthews ~ T.S. - Quote from attendee of upcoming New Member Meet & Greet Bruch.
"GNOC does have really great gals in it. When I joined I did not realize as to what degree I would connect with some ladies. I am a very lucky lady to be able to call you gals my friends. Love ya guys." ~ C.B. (Member since October 2005)
"There are not enough 'thank yous' or other synonyms to express my sincere gratitude for the efforts by the following women; . Sarah Hasan, Sandra Downey, Jennifer Downey, Barb Ewanchek, Jenny Bilenduke, Ann Marie Pellat and last but not least Charlene Crews. These women volunteered their time, in a small hot, and I do mean, HOT kitchen on Thursday, June 29, 2006. We hosted a fundraiser at a local church, providing dinner and show to over 100 people. These women cooked, cleaned, prepared, and never complained. The evening was a tremendous success and we raised over $2000.00 towards creating a sensory stimulation room for our clients on the Autism Spectrum Disorder Continuum. For an event to be a success it takes work on various levels, from many different people. Their spirit and their enthusiasm towards an often 'thankless' job renews my faith in the merits of hard work and commitment. I am forever in your debt. Many thanks for all that you do, and an even greater thanks for the manner in which you approach your committment." Deborah Kernohan, Day Treatment & Developmental Services Supervisor - East Metro Youth Services www.emys.on.ca
"I would like to thank the both of you for your hard work in organizing the many events I attended, and I thoroughly enjoyed ALL the dinners, theatre events, out-of-town excursions, book club meetings, sporting activities, and most importantly meeting many wonderful women who are out to have fun, and both of you who are willing look for and organize all these interesting events!" M.F.
"Thanks for organizing such a fun night at the Hot House. I really enjoyed both the food and the company of you and the other women at our table. As you know, there was a mix of us - different ages and experiences but all just laughing and sharing girl talk. It was a satisfying experience for me who never had a sister ! I'm looking forward to meeting all of you again." Quote from attendee at Mix & Mingle Dinner
"About a year ago I joined The Girls Night Out Club with the goal of expanding my social network. Being involved with the Girls Night Out Club has helped me socially and psychologically. It forces me to try and stay connected with women socially, it has helped me to try and balance my life with more social activities and try things I wouldn’t do by myself; last March I went to The Briars Spa Resort with the group, in July I am going to Casa Loma. The events are organized for me; all I have to do is sign up and pay for the events. I have met a lot of really great women of all ages and professions. If you want to stay healthy mentally and physically, you must invest in yourself. It takes time and a little organization, but I think it’s worth it. ~ Jenn Hamoen
"Heard about GNOC from Erica at La Tea Da in the Beach - she said this would be a perfect fit for me and boy was she right. GNOC is wonderful - so many events and very creatively thought out - always choices which is nice and the people at the events are fabulous. Only sorry I didn't hear about you guys earlier. Thanks again for bringing this to all of us and for all your hard work. As I've said before you are amazing." ~ R. S. (Member since April 2005)
"This club is truly a treasure, I have made personal life long friendships. This club has so many great event ideas! I have tried so many new things such as knitting, pottery, and beading just to name a few. I love the idea that the women are there because they wanted to try new things, "knitting" for example, in the past I would have had to drag a friend to do that with me." ~ T.C.
"The club has brought many positive changes to my life and it requires a phenomenal amount of sacrifice to run, which I appreciate enormously." ~ C.B.
"Thanks for organizing all of these wonderful events. I'm so tempted by all of them and will go to as many as my calendar allows. Everyone is very wonderful and the club provides a safe, warm and caring environment for women of all walks to get together" ~ M.F.
