The Grace List by Hattie Grace Elliot

I have not yet had the opportunity to meet this lady in person, but what I have heard about her is that she is full of energy and loves to be involved in great adventures. Hattie Grace Elliot is no stranger to traveling the world and meeting new people, she enjoys being a wealth of information as well as a resource to the people she meets.

As we all know the world of social networking has become an ever popular place, those who are a part of it love it and use it wisely, those not accustomed to it find it a waste of time. But what they do not realize is that, again, the success of others directly effects our individual success. The more people you know, the larger your network, the better your resources, the more opportunity is going to unveil itself to you. People are afraid to help others get ahead for fear that it is going to inhibit their personal growth. But Hattie knows in her core, that this is how people get out and meet people and it could lead to their next relationship, possibly their life partner.

Hattie is the founder of The Grace List, which she describes as "a multifaceted networking group that connects accomplished, attractive and adventurous singles " through events that she plans. These types of events include, sailing classes, cooking classes, wine and whiskey tastings as well as ski weekends and paintball trips.

Hattie has grown The Grace List to six cities around the country, New York, DC, LA, Chicago, San Francisco, and San Diego, which makes it easy to still attend events if you are traveling for business or find yourself relocating. There are events almost every week throughout the year and they are always packed. Though this is a membership club, the events are kept intimate and equal in numbers so those fearing they will be the odd man out, can rest assured you are on even ground.

To become a member of The Grace list you can easily fill out the information on their site and you will be contacted by a member of their team. Hattie and her team have a "first date" with each prospective member to start the vetting process, which gives it more of an intimate feel when you know each of your members personally. After that it is up to the members to log in to the site and select the events they would like to attend. This way you get to enjoy only the things you want to do.

We all know the Millionaire Matchmaker, Match.com, and many other types of dating / networking sites. They cost money, you have to do the work, vet the people out, find places to meet and set up the meetings. The Grace list is like one stop shopping, comfortable group of like-minded people who are out looking to learn something new, meet new people, date and possibly just enjoy trying a new place in a new city. Whether you get a date out of it, learn something new, make a business connection or even form a new friendship, this is the type of club you want to be a member because no matter what, you always leave with a prize.
