Connect with the Community

"I think new people might expect to make friends easily since the town is small (I did) but it can be quite difficult to 'find your people' For me, a business owner, plugging into networking events like launch Ashland pub talks and now E2E has been a helpful way to meet likeminded people. Gil's and Growler Guys are both local community hangout spots where people tend to talk to strangers a bit more than other bars and restaurants. I think it's important to know, it just simple takes a little while. It was a year for us." -- Gretchen

 

"I would recommend putting yourself out there, getting involved in a gym! I would recommend not being shy and going to populated places (even if it means going by yourself). I've gone to Growler Guys a few times alone and have found that it is a great place to meet people. Everyone is friendly and interested in talking. I wish that I would have become more involved in groups like the Southern Oregon Running Enthusiast because I like to run and I think that'd be a great way to meet people. " -- Gracie
