The four women, all working professionals, have found a way to meet at the same time every month for the past 20 years.
After they attended the Warriors game, the group then decided to have a"girls night out" or"GNO" the second Monday of every month.The women are all working professionals but they swore to make it work.The group said their gatherings have to cost under $20 a piece. But they said it’s doable in the Bay Area."We’ve done lessons and tours and went to a gun range. All types of dancing lessons, Irish jig, pole dancing, batting cage," Bardakian said.
“Tonight, we just did some new acrylic pour art. Whatever the person coordinates, that’s what we have to do,” Kevranian said. Over that time, three of the women have lost fathers, they have also changed jobs and launched businesses. Three of them got married and the fourth will get married later this year.“There’s taxes and there's GNO. It’s always there. When it started, I hadn’t counted on wanting or needing,” Sarafian said.“It’s always been about the activity. The learning, the growth and pushing our boundaries and just saying 'yes,'” Vasgerdsian said.
As many emerge from the pandemic, the group wants to show how important it is to put in the work on friendships and embrace the human connection. “We never thought leaving that Warriors game that this is what it would turn into. It’s been wonderful. We hope that other women and men, that this might inspire them to do something on their own,” Bardakian said.
