Hey homies,

⭐ Call for community models: Exciting opportunity to have fun and learn from professional models & stylists in a safe environment at our Friendsgiving Potluck ⭐

We're looking for up to 10 enthusiastic folks to take to the stage for our Friendsgiving Potluck co-hosted with Singapore Global Network on Nov 25. Models would ideally be between 5'6" to 5'8" in height for women and 6" and above for men. We will have professional models and stylists to glam you up - all you need is some courage and enthusiasm!! Indicate your interest here🙌 

Models will walk the stage with exciting chic clothing that will be provided, with different international potluck dishes from all around the world which our emcee will introduce! Think rich flavors of Southeast Asia and more 😀 

Super Diners Club is a members-only experience that connects curious and open-minded people like you for dinners twice a month, right here in NYC! You will become part of an ongoing experience that brings strangers together as friends, one carefully curated table at a time.

You will be able to opt to attend curated dinners twice a month at no cost thereafter. There will be no additional cost to join the dinners outside of the monthly membership fee of $17.50. You might also get member perks for various other events, such as a complimentary VIP wristband for our upcoming FAANG++ & IVY++ Gala! *As an early member, you will be grandfathered into this price FOREVER. Prices go up after Thanksgiving!

Membership-only: Apply for membership by RSVPing here. There will be a short 10-min interview process for those that make it past the first screen - we will schedule one with you within 24 hours if you are shortlisted. Total turnaround time from the time you apply will be less than 72 hours.

Our Nov dinner dates will be Nov 14 & 26, and here’s what to expect!

- Small, intimate group: Dinners are hosted in groups of 6 members so that each connection feels natural and personal

- Tailored introductions: Our proprietary AI sorting hat (with the help of the team) thoughtfully groups you with people aligned to your interests, whether you’re here to make friends, broaden your professional network, or simply expand your social horizons

- Fun conversation prompts: We will have a few interesting questions for you to go through together. Additionally, we might group you into different houses based on quizzes as well before the dinner 👀

- Surprise venue: Each dinner is hosted at a surprise restaurant that you’ll discover just 1-3 days before the event
