So, Why 52 Weekends?

            Complete the phrase: People who _____________ together, stay together. Raise your hand if you said “play”. You are correct! It’s an age-old adage, but what does it truly mean? It’s simple, really. Getting up, going out, and doing things is the key to fun, memory making relationships. Whether with a friend, a spouse, your son or your daughter, the most fun to be had does not come from plugging something in but by trying something out. 


This is the aim of 52 Weekends Together. Look at it as a challenge. Instead of coming home on a Friday night, renting a movie, ordering a pizza and calling it a night, per your usual routine, find a dive-y Italian restaurant and a local theatre that shows the classics.  Casablanca and a heaping pile of spaghetti always make for a good time! Try it one weekend, and that’s all it will take. Sunday evening, ask yourself: How many new people did I meet? How many new things did I see? And most importantly, how many new memories did I make? The answer will surprise you. Now, multiply that by 52. Not a Math buff? That’s okay. The answer is simple: At the end of one year, you will have met many more people, done many more things, and made many more memories than you can imagine.  Ready to take on the challenge? Then let this weekend be the first, the one that starts it all.
