Mars here. If you run into a NextTribe member out in the wild, (or while traveling) shoot a selfie and send it to me! It’s always a blast to get together with friends we’ve made on trips.

Check out everything going on all around the NextTribe community:

NT ❤️ NY

Lexi Perlmutter, who splits her time between Brooklyn and Austin, is organizing a MoMA event on Saturday July 26th! So many great exhibitions there right now, including my latest obsession, Hilma af Klint!

Seattle, WA

We have a new NextTribe local group brewing in Seattle. Thanks to Darlene Bakes and Connie Wibley, there’s a planned happy hour at The Barrel Thief in the Fremont neighborhood, scheduled for Sunday July 20th.

And thanks to Jennifer Miller, there’s a brand spankin’ new WhatsApp local group that was just formed. If you’d like to join the WhatsApp group in Seattle, here’s the link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Lsul2G6xdLZ7hzWX5ueWOv

If you’d like to come to the Happy Hour, please message Darlene via the Seattle local Group on WhatsApp.

I’m excited to meet both locals, and travelers when I head to Seattle on our NextTribe trip Aug. 22-25.

Salt Lake City, UT

On my recent visit to Salt Lake City I met up with my sister Melissa and our cousin Flossie Givens and her friend Kelly who lives nearby. We were delighted to get to know NextTriber Sandy Herman for a nice lunch!

Austin, TX

In the words of Stevie Ray Vaughan, it’s raining down in Texas. We’re going to postpone our pool party at Nancy Goedeke’s condo. We’ll chat about details on WhatsApp.

Last year we had a great tour of the wholesale coffee bean company Texas Coffee Traders. Since then, they’ve moved and expanded the cafe. We’re meeting there Thursday July 17th for our next Cawfee Tawk.

RESCHEDULED TO THURSDAY JULY 24TH. Austin Nexttribers will be daycationing at the Swim Club at Downright Austin hotel. Thanks to Vanessa Sinclair for organizing. Day passes (parking included) are available on the Resort Pass App. Message Vanessa on WhatsApp/Austin if you’d like to join us.

Please note: our Sunday Salon series is on a summer hiatus, but we’ll pick back up in the Fall. If you have any great women you know who would be an interesting presenter for us, please reach out to Nancy Goedeke!

I love to brainstorm about any type of meet up, coffee, happy hour, movies, book events, games night, or an art tour. If you’re interested in getting a group organized in your city, shoot me an email, and I’ll help get it started.

Those who run our city groups get bumped up to Lifetime Member, with all those perks. Reach out to me at [email protected].

And remember, do an email search for Jennifer Miller’s invitation to join our WhatsApp community. You’ll find local WhatsApp groups in other cities. And this summer when you’re traveling to another city, maybe you too can connect with a local NextTriber!

Life’s more fun with friends!
