Winner of the Meetup 10th birthday celebration

There were 2 million RSVPs between June 11 and July 15, but only one person could win our 10th birthday present. 

Andy

Andy lives in Michigan, but can now attend a Meetup anywhere in the world, on us!

He’s in a number of active outdoor Meetups, including Be Active. Be Outdoors. While the group’s Organizer Ula usually gets members to hit the trails or hop into the water, Andy’s winning RSVP came from taking a break with the group at a movie outing.

After checking in with Ula, we contacted Andy to let him know what happened. He’s currently planning his Meetup of a lifetime, and we’ll keep you posted on where he winds up!

Wherever he goes, he’s definitely going to take in the sights by running, since it’s one of his favorite things to do. In fact, he says on his member profile, “I run as practice in the event of a zombie apocalypse.” Now that’s someone ready for adventure! 

Just because Meetup’s 10th birthday celebration is wrapped up, doesn’t mean the adventure has to stop.

RSVP for a Meetup near you and let the fun continue!

7/26/2012 5:23pm: Updated RSVP total.
