PRE-EVENT PREP: ICE-BREAKER

We've got a fun ice-breaker planned: "Two Truths and a Lie." Before you join us at the event, take a few moments (5-10 minutes) to come up with three, short, personal stories. This engaging game is a fantastic way to ease into conversations with a small group of fellow attendees. Once we've all shared our stories, you'll find it a breeze to kick-start casual chit-chat. So, get those stories ready, and let's make this event an enjoyable and memorable experience! 🎉🤝🗣️

To get a better handle on how to play, take a moment to watch the video below. And don't worry, Sarah doesn't advocate fibbing in everyday life—just when we're playing this delightful game! 😉🎲
