"I wouldn't have found or joined lesbian groups in my community, such as the reading group or the coffee shop group. I wouldn't have started to speak up for myself and come out to family. I wouldn't have learned to believe in myself enough to be where I am in my business and I wouldn't be comfortable in my own skin. I wouldn't be able to sit and talk with my sister about MY life. I wouldn't have looked for a special someone. I wouldn't have met her at Lez Rendezvous. Without Coach Sappho, my life wouldn't be nearly as satisfying as it is!" — Lez Rendezvous member, entrepreneur/healthcare professional, St. Louis, MO

"I am a 38 year old lesbian who became very tired of looking to meet new women in all the same places and through all the same means. I was desperately searching for someone who shared my same interests and life experiences as well as someone who was older and more mature. It wasn't until I found Lez Rendezvous that my excitement was renewed! Now I am meeting women all over the country and am making new friends. I also recently went on my first date with a 44-year old lesbian and am already looking forward to our second! This is the best money I've ever spent...Thank you Lez Rendezvous." — Lez Rendezvous member, marketing professional, southwestern USA

"I have participated in many group and individual counseling or coaching sessions as I have journeyed through my life. Much of the information given I still utilize in my daily dealings socially and in my career. So, before going into the Couples Circle my concerns were that I know it all, what else can I learn? I'll be bored and not get any value from this experience...It's a waste of time and money. I was wrong...You can never know it all when it comes to communication, there's always some little gem that only a third party could point out. Through this group, I am learning more about us as a couple, before I did alot of work on me, by myself, now I'm taking the step to look at an us...That's a very important change of focus and one that I need to listen and learn more about, I want to have a strong, healthy us...and this is setting us up to handle things in a loving, respectful way. I'm looking forward to developing a vision for our relationship, it's exciting to me to get that insight into our relationship and our future together.
