How and when did it start?
SiD is an idea I pitched to the Des Moines Register. Two small articles were in the Datebook in October. I recieved 65 e-mails, and 25 people actually put a stamp on an envelope amd requested information. From this I realized there are other singles out there, and they are looking for activities, and are tired of the dating services and bar secne. The first meeting I had (November 1st) fourty-two people showed up, and every event so far has been well-attended. I am still getting requests and memberships - We are growing larger every day as word gets out.

What Is SiD?
SiD is a business I am starting. So far in two months I have gotten 50 members. Member's ages are 28-60+. Some are still testing the water. There is a membership fee, ($35.00 for six months). I am not a part-time person putting together meetings. There is a fee for meetings and events. Think of me as your personal event planner.

What does SiD provide?
A Newsletter that has a calendar of events for singles and places that are single-friendly. Discounts to some events for members. (Val Air, Merle Hay Mall Theatres, Art After Dark, and I am working on more) Val Air on special nights will provide a space that you can go and know where singles are.

What events are being planned?
Dinners out, Mystery Tours, Sporting Events, Movies, Gatherings, and more. I am working with Des Moines business and attractions to create events just for us. My plan is to provide many activites so you can choose the events that attract you.
