Crash Landing Social Club – Week 3 Update
Building friendships, experiences, and a whole new Orlando.
As crazy as it sounds… welcome to Week 3 of the Crash Landing Social Club. Hard to believe this all started on my birthday less than three weeks ago. What began as one honest TikTok has now grown into a community of 470+ women, and together we’ve already hosted 8+ events across Orlando.
The pace of this growth is wild, but the potential here is unmatched if we all stay grounded in our “why”: real connection, real friendship, real experiences.
I know the chat can feel overwhelming sometimes (mute channels as needed — truly!). To help keep everything running smoothly, I’ve pulled together a small admin team made up of women who have attended most events and who generously offered to help. Huge shoutout to Kelly, Annalise, and Christine — your support means everything!
Updates to Chats & Subgroups
You might have noticed a few changes behind the scenes. We did a cleanup of older or inactive subgroups, consolidated a few, and reorganized what was most useful. This helps reduce noise and keeps the space more intentional.
More subgroup updates are coming as we continue refining everything!
Small Group Dinners — December 11th
Our next round of small group dinners is happening Thursday, December 11th at 6:30pm.
To keep the vibe intimate and meaningful, each dinner will be capped at 8 girlies and held in three different regions:
South Orlando -
Central Orlando
North Orlando
Each group will have a designated host who will be your point of contact for both attendees and the restaurant.
Tickets are $5 (to help cover overhead) and can be booked on the website.
If the dinner is full, don’t worry — join the waitlist! If we get 4+ on the list, we’ll open an additional dinner location. An admin will reach out directly to everyone on the waitlist.
✨ New to the group? A small group dinner is the perfect first event.Or join us at our next big meetup—keep reading!
Monthly Meet-Up Mixer — January 16th
Like our very first meet-up at Bar Louie, we’ll be hosting a Monthly Mixer on January 16th. Think happy-hour vibes, bigger crowd, and a casual space to meet new friends and reconnect with familiar faces.
More details will be announced soon on the website and in the announcements chat.
RSVP Updates
When booking future events on the website, you will now see a new checkbox option during checkout. This allows you to indicate if you’re feeling nervous, socially anxious, or would benefit from an emotional-support friend at the event.
This information is completely confidential, but it helps me and the admin team know to reach out before or during the event to support you — whether that means meeting up early, pairing you with a friendly face, or introducing you to someone we think you’ll connect with.
We’re genuinely eager to make sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. Showing up is a huge first step, and there is zero shame in asking for a little help or guidance along the way. We’re here for you. 💜

Housekeeping & Community Standards
A few reminders to keep our space safe and supportive:
Add a profile picture and full name to your WhatsApp account so we know who’s who.
If something feels sketchy/questionable/suspicious, drop a 🚩 emoji. An admin will handle it immediately.
Please avoid selling items or posting anything that feels like a scam or solicitation. We are protecting this community fiercely.
Subgroups will now be capped to reduce unnecessary notifications and keep things intentional.
Growing Together
If you have any questions, you can absolutely message me — just give me a little grace with response time as we grow. We’re moving fast, and there will be a few growing pains, but we will figure everything out together.
I love this community so much already.Thank you for being here, for showing up, and for helping build something truly special. 💜
