We take RSVPs to events very seriously, because we want everyone in the group to have confidence in each other, and to be able to plan events based on this confidence.

After all, don't you want people to show up if they say they'll show up, and don't you prefer people you can truly count on?

Please feel free to drop any of them a note about anything concerning New York Linkup. Each one of our "buddies" has a lot of experience, and would like to help you feel as comfortable and confident as possible.

You can also find the New York Linkup "buddies" listed in events and searches. Just look for the green B next to someone's name. That's the "green light" to go ahead and contact them with questions.
