DATE NIGHT CHALLENGE PDX
Date Night Challenge PDX is a 4 date, 4 week challenge for Portland couples during August. Date Night is a phenomenon sweeping the USA. Why? People are so busy with work & their social networks they don't have time for the relationships that matter the most. Date Night Challenge is all about carving time out of your busy schedules to hang with the person that matters most.
There will be great ideas for dates, deals to make it happen, stuff to talk about, a few quizzes and perhaps celebrity attractions. DNC PDX is modeled after similar events held in West Palm Beach and Chicago. Check out their events at www.datenightchallenge.com Better yet, come learn the plans for our Portland event at either of these two Wednesday, June 6th, events:
