Howdy Y’all!

DFW Young and Social fam! I hope everyone's doing well. As you all know, we recently had our meetup at the Dallas Arboretum, and it was a blast! There was a massive turnout, and it was great to see everyone connecting and having fantastic conversations. There's nothing quite like making new friends and discovering new connections, right?

One of the most exciting things about our visit was the event that was being held by the Dallas Arboretum. This week was the Third Annual Black Heritage Celebration and we were lucky enough to be a part of the festivities! It was fantastic to see so many talented artists, entertainers, and businesses showcasing their culture and educating the community. The energy and vibrancy were simply amazing, and it was heartwarming to see everyone come together to appreciate black culture.

Of course, we can't forget about the gardens! The Arboretum has some of the most breathtaking landscaping I've ever seen, and there are two that I want to highlight. First is the Lay Family Garden, which is stunning. There's a two beautiful ponds with dozens of colorful koi fish swimming around, and a multiple waterfalls that create a tranquil atmosphere. It's a great place to unwind and appreciate the beauty of nature.

The second garden is the Woman's Garden, it is breathtaking! The landscaping was awe inspiring and there was a peaceful serenity in every nook. It's the perfect spot for a romantic stroll or quiet reflection. I highly recommend visiting this garden.

While the gardens were absolutely stunning, what truly made today special was being able to connect with each DFW Young and Social member. I want to thank everyone who came out to the meetup and made it such a memorable day. We recently hit 3000 members, and I couldn't be prouder of this community. It's amazing to see so many like-minded people come together and create something special. Here's to many more adventures together!
