This company in no way offered what they promised for the almost $2000 membership fee. They said they were:
1.) a social club, not a dating club but they guaranteed their members were all single... I discovered this was not true when I went to a "meet and greet" event and talked to one man who was engaged and another who was married;
2.) 60% female and 40% male membership of all ethnic persuasions... Again, the members at the events I attended were ALL caucasian and it was 95% (literally! I counted.) women;
3.) a variety of social events to appeal to all ages... An entire two month of events included paintball, horseback riding, happy hour, rollerblading, going to a movie, happy hour, picnic on the Potomac, happy hour etc. With not one cultural or music event in the DC area which is famous for both
4.) promised 60 to 65 events per month to choose from... There were 5 listed per week and that was only after 6 months of staff changes with emails of apology that they were so disorganized and we should be patient until they got their new "events manager" hired.
When I complained to the manager, she said I should be patient as they were a new organization and I should "freeze" my membership until I saw events that were appealing to my age range (50's). When I said I wanted a refund, she reminded me that I had signed a contract that didn't allow for any refunds... And encouraged me, again, to freeze my membership.
Stay away from E&A if you want a social club that is multi-cultural, multi-event, co-ed, and responsive to complaints.
