October Meow Mixer – Wild Lights

Who’s ready for some Wild Lights?! If you haven’t been to Wild Lights at the Sedgwick County Zoo, you won’t want to miss this!
If you have on your calendar that the October Meow Mixer was supposed to be on October 6th, you’re not wrong. However, the Wild Lights doesn’t open until October 11th. Pat and I thought a weeknight would be less crowded, so we selected October 19th.
We’ll start with dinner at Fuzzy’s Tacos first, then go directly to the Zoo.
The cost for the Wild Lights is $17.00 for non-members of the Zoo. However, if we purchase the tickets before October 1st, we can get a $4.00 per ticket discount. If you are a Zoo member and your price will be cheaper than $13.00 and you want to get your own ticket, please let me know in the comments below so I don’t include you in the count.
There is a hard deadline of September 28th to sign up in order to take advantage of the discounted price. I have an out-of-town wedding on the 30th so I want a little cushion to get the tickets purchased on September 29th. If you sign up after September 28th, you can still go, but the tickets will be full price – $17.00.
Get ready to be wowed!
MEOW!

September Meow Mixer – Roxy’s Downtown

Who doesn’t love the Golden Girls?! Please join us for a fun afternoon with these lovable ladies and lots of laughs!
Tickets are $40.00 each which includes taxes and fees. I will make the reservation with my credit card and then everyone can pay me. You may have seen Pat’s Facebook post about getting an idea of how many are interested in attending this. We have to know by the end of the day tomorrow (Thursday, the 7th) so we can get tickets. If you have to cancel after the tickets have been purchased, you will still have to pay your portion as Roxy’s will not be refunding us. Due to the popularity of this show, we will not be able to all sit together, but we’ll do the best we can.

July Meow Mixer – Pumphouse

NEW PLAN FOR THE JULY MEOW MIXER! Due to the extremely hot weather tomorrow, we will not be going to the Sedgwick County Zoo.
Please plan to meet us at the Pumphouse in Old Town at 6:00 pm for an INDOOR dinner. Meow Mixers are always a drive or ride event. I would recommend driving!
It is critical that you RSVP immediately so we can confirm the reservations with the restaurant. Don’t delay, do it now! 😻
See you tomorrow!

May Meow Mixer – Lunch at Fuzzy’s Taco Shop

Does it seem like we have a Kitty Event every week? That’s because we have! However, after this Meow Mixer, the schedule will be less packed. May 1st is International Female Ride Day so we had to get together for that!
What to bring: Cash for the 50/50 drawing ($5.00 for six tickets.) Also, several years ago, I passed out KKMC International Female Ride Day buttons. If you still have yours, be sure to wear it. For those who are new or those who can’t find your button, I’ll bring a supply. I’m including a picture so you know what you’re looking for.
What I will bring: Any Kitty Mall items I have ready to deliver. I’ll notify you in advance if I will be delivering items to you so you can bring payment if you haven’t already paid.
Fuzzy’s Tacos: We will be in their banquet room so we can be loud and proud! We will be ordering off the menu that day so nothing needs to be done in advance.
Extended Ride: For those who are able and want to, we will ride to Twister City to have a little ride time together.
Ride or Drive: Meow Mixers are always a ride or drive event. I understand people may be coming from something else or have to go somewhere after, so don’t let not being able to ride stop you from attending.

April Meow Mixer – Brunch at the Fusion Restaurant

In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re kinda big. Not like as in a big deal, although we are definitely that, but big as in size. As is natural with a group of our size, people gravitate to others who have similar interests and ages. Even though COVID robbed us of our Christmas party last year (curse you COVID!), it gave us private gift exchanges which provided some of us an opportunity to get to know someone we hadn’t had a chance to chat with before. For Kathryn Langrehr, that sparked an idea. What if we had a Meow Mixer where Kitties were paired at tables with those who they most likely didn’t know well? What about that Janice? Janice thought it was brilliant! Kathryn and I selected the April Meow Mixer as the event to really Meow Mix it up. We pretty much know who hangs out with who, so after the RSVP deadline has passed, we will look at those who are attending and seat them at a table with those who they don’t normally spend time with. You could even come armed with a few conversation starters such as, where did you grow up, what do you do for fun besides ride a motorcycle, what’s your pet peeve, where do you work and what do you do, etc. I’m excited about this “get to know you” exercise and I think we all will benefit from learning more about our Sisters!
What to bring: Cash for the 50/50 drawing (six tickets for $5.00.)
What I will bring: Any Kitty Mall items that I have ready to deliver. I will notify you in advance if I will be delivering item(s) so you can bring your payment if you haven’t already paid.
Menu: Because we most likely will be a large group, the restaurant will provide a couple of set meal selections and will send those to me. You won’t need to choose your selection in advance, but you’ll know what you will have to choose from that day. I’ll do a separate post on the meal options when I receive them.
RSVP: Please RSVP by no later than end of day, Wednesday, April 21st.
MEOW!

August Meow Mixer – Painting Party

Get your creative juices flowing and join us for a painting party! You don’t have to be a skilled artist as there will be an instructor there guiding you every step of the way.

Sheryl Pennington has graciously offered us the use of the banquet room at her workplace. Sure, that might be a funeral home, but no worries. You are will be well away from the dearly departed.

What to bring: $20 for the instructor. A snack and beverage of your choice. Since this is not a riding event, that beverage can be moonshine if you choose.

As a reminder, we voted on the image to paint and the result of that vote was to paint a sleek Kitty with a heart.

Please RSVP by Monday, August 12th.

October Meow Mixer

.The October Meow Mixer is a multi-event day.

We’ll start off by meeting at 11:00 a.m. at the WichiKitty wall that was discussed on Facebook last month. We’ll have our picture taken there and hopefully, the day will be nice enough that we can ride and get a bike or two in the shot. This is located on the northwest corner of Douglas and Hydraulic – 1520 E. Douglas.

We will then have lunch at Playa Azul at 111 N. Washington.

Following lunch, we will go the Wichita Family Crisis Center to have a Fall Festival for the Moms and kids. We will have games, ice cream and our version of Trick or Treat. They are located at 1111 S. St. Francis.

In addition, we will have a collection of needed items for WFCC. A separate post will be made about that soon.

Please RSVP by Thursday, October 17th if you plan to attend.

MEOW!
