Fighting Loneliness, One Connection at a Time: Find Your Eight This Galentine’s Day
Loneliness is an Epidemic—Let’s Change That
Loneliness is no longer just a passing emotion—it’s becoming a public health concern. Whether you’re adjusting to life in a new city, navigating a big life transition, or simply wishing for deeper connections, isolation can feel overwhelming. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to stay that way.
At A Party of Eight and Connecting Charlotte, we believe in the power of authentic connection. As women, we know the value of friendships that go beyond surface-level, creating bonds that are genuine and fulfilling. This is why we’re teaming up this Galentine’s Day for an unforgettable event where laughter, friendship, and shared experiences take center stage.
Imagine this: You step into the chic ambiance of Napa on Providence in Dilworth. The room buzzes with energy as 50 women, each with their own story, come together with one shared goal—to connect. The air filled with laughter, great conversation, and the thrill of new beginnings.
You’ll swap stories over curated games and conversation starters that make getting to know one another feel natural and fun. Maybe you’ll find a fellow book lover who shares your taste in novels or bond with a foodie who can’t wait to share her favorite restaurant picks. This isn’t just another social event—it’s a chance to leave with new friends who might become part of your story.
The Why Behind the Event…
This isn’t just about Galentine’s Day. It’s about addressing something we all experience: loneliness. Research shows that loneliness isn’t just emotionally challenging—it can impact your physical and mental health, too.
At A Party of Eight and Connecting Charlotte, our mission is to create spaces where women can connect in ways that feel easy, meaningful, and fun. Whether it’s sharing a meal with like-minded women or participating in an engaging event, we’re building a community that makes Charlotte feel less lonely and much more welcoming.
But our impact doesn’t stop there. Through our partnership with Empower Kids, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching underserved children journalism skills, we’re giving back to our community and helping the next generation discover their voices and create brighter futures.
What You Can Expect….
This is not your average night out—it’s a carefully crafted experience. Here’s what’s on the menu for this Galentine’s Day:
Authentic Conversations: No awkward small talk here! We’ll kick off with icebreakers and activities that make connecting with others effortless.
Unforgettable Moments: Snap Instagram-worthy photos at our Galentine’s-themed backdrops and take home a keepsake goodie bag to remember the night.
Ongoing Friendships: After the event, you’ll have exclusive access to join A Party of Eight dinners or Connecting Charlotte socials to keep the connections going.
