Music • Mocktails • Friendship • Community

For the first time, we are creating a circle where no one feels like an outsider.
For many adults of all abilities, social spaces can sometimes feel uncomfortable, intimidating, or isolating. Connect Night is changing that.
This is the beginning of Gifted Circle — a welcoming community where individuals can connect, socialize, dance, laugh, and build friendships without feeling shy, judged, or left out.
At Connect Night, everyone is welcomed exactly as they are.
Everyone has a place.
Everyone belongs

This special event is hosted by Smart Start Centers in partnership with Gifted Circle (501c3) to build a community where adults can enjoy meaningful social experiences and friendships.

🌟 What to Expect
🎧 Live DJ & Music
💃 Dancing and social fun
🍹 Creative Mocktails (a fun alternative to cocktails)
📸 Photo moments & memories
🤝 Opportunities to meet new friends

Just like any great night out — music, dancing, laughter, and socializing — but in a space designed so everyone feels comfortable and included.
