As someone who frequents the downtown area, a good time to hold the speed dating would be between 6-7, in case a couple really hit it off and they could out for drinks or something that same night. Its not too late at a time when the local weirdos are out (but hey they're always out and about)

All our department information is up to date and finalized! Cheers and see you all soon :)

Hello,

If you are working during the Staff Speed Dating time 8-10PM, you wouldn't be able to participate in the event. Please make sure it is approved and OK by your department head to participate in this event. We don't condone ditching your shift for this event, as we are all committed to volunteering for our respective departments.

If you are working at 7PM but will be available by 7:45PM the very latest, then you can just stop by and pick up a raffle any time 7 - 7:45PM. Our process this year is not dependent on first-come, first-serve as it is randomized lottery. The very last people who draw the numbers may be able to get in as well.

Hope this helps!
