[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I were invited to a couple of events by a member at Congressional a few years ago.  I can't remember specifically what they were but they were events definitely catered to younger folks, people our age (we were early 30s at the time).  Had fun, met some nice people, secretly rolled our eyes a lot, had fun afterwards at the expense of some of the typical silly people you find at these things, etc.  I didn't think anything of it at the time other than it was nice to be invited to spend a couple evenings in an exclusive club like this.  Now, because anxiety, I have started to wonder if those invitations were not sort of trial runs to evaluate us as potential new members.  We both dressed appropriately, thanked our hosts often, we both grew up in "polite society" to some degree so we know how to act in country clubs, for example.  So don't know how we may have behaved differently had we known we were being evaluated but I'm sure something would have been different.  Actually, I probably wouldn't have gone anywhere near the dancefloor, that's one thing that comes to mind LOL.  Is this how young, new members are recruited to clubs?  Financially, we aren't exactly Congressional material and doubt we could have afforded the initiation fees but I can't help but wonder if we would have figured out a way to make it work if we were actually invited to join.

Anyway, this post is clearly pointless but I am still curious if this process sounds familiar to anyone who is indeed a member.

Congressional does not need new members. But you seem too high and mighty for a club (at least in your own mind). [/quote]
