The Third Place is where I go when nothing else in life makes sense. Work stresses, school deadlines, and family situations can all get pretty crazy. But when I get to a Third Place event or discussion group, I'm instantly surrounded by people who care about me and encourage me to be exactly who I really am.

Beyond getting to be myself, The Third Place is just so much fun! One of my favorite events was fondue night. Between trying figure out how to keep 10 fondue pots lit simultaneously and tasting chocolate-covered Peeps for the first time, it was a hilarious adventure! Needless to say, we laughed all night long!

Events like that are just the start of what The Third Place is all about. It's a genuine community of people who does life together. Whether we're talking about life's tougher issues or just hanging out on a Friday night, we always enjoy just being together.
