Tip # 1 - Host a Get-Together in the Clubhouse For the next Buffalo Bills or Sabres Game, host a party in the clubhouse and play the game on the big screen! Start with inviting the people on your floor or in your whole building, or post details of the event to resident portal! Divide and conquer the planning by inviting a couple of people you already to know to help with with food & drinks, activities, and promoting, or just tell everyone it's BYOB. Don't forget to contact a Leasing Agent to reserve the clubhouse. Tip # 2 - Start a Shared Interest Group Shared activities are a great way to bring together people with a common interest. Join or start a group in your community. A running group, an exercise group, a book club, a recipe exchange group, or a dinner club may be just the ticket to getting to know someone.
