The Brunch Club
Marc was a year a head of me in school at K-State, and we were in the same major, but never knew each other. We both started working at our current jobs at around the same time and connected via our work in a local professional association that we are both active in. We have become pretty good friends.
Marc introduced me to Mako, another K-State grad that he works with through the Kansas City K-State Alumni
Association. I knew of Mako at K-State but we became friends when Marc formally introduced us at a KSU basketball watch party.
Mako introduced us to her long time best friend, Richie, who is also her “man of honor” in her upcoming wedding.
One evening earlier this year, I introduced Marc, Mako, and Richie to Brittney. Brittney and I met at a Halloween party hosted by my old roommate who just happens to be engaged to Brittney’s old college roommate.
We all got together for dinner and bonded over a horrible dining experience at a local restaurant (https://amymariekc.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/customer-service-nightmare/). We then headed out for drinks and live music. Our group had such a great time that we met for brunch and then an impromptu visit to the ballpark for a Royals game. https://amymariekc.wordpress.com/2010/04/12/loving-life/
During that brunch, The Brunch Club was born. Brittney, Mako, Marc, Richie, and I get together on a regular basis for Sunday brunch, Thursday Fun Day, and other fun activities. For Sunday brunch, we pick a different location each time-preferably a place that is new for all of us. Sometimes we invite other friends to join us. Thursday Fun Day is a chance for us all to get together during the week and we try out a new local bar or restaurant every week.
We all get a long great a majority of the time and have a really interesting mix of personalities. When we get together, we have a complete BLAST. We have been hanging out and getting to know each other for several months, and I can say that this group of people are some of the best friends I have. I still have my friends from high school and college, and other friends that I’ve met in life, but have some how managed to form a strong bond with the Brunch Clubbers that I just know will turn into life long friendships. We have all also enjoyed introducing each other to our other friends. I’ve met some really great people getting to know some of their friends.
