Are there any June Junkies on?
We went a couple years ago during the time as well. Met some very nice people as we always do but definitely got the vibe that you were an outsider to the group. Probably our fault as we didn’t understand what it was. Thought it was just a title for people who went in June not a pretty tight group that sorta stay within themselves. Didn’t experience any bad people or anything just realized we were not in the group. HappensThis is nothing against the June Junkies. In fact, I think they are a great group of people who steadfastly meet to keep life exciting and young. God bless them! 2 years ago, during our visit, our dates coincided with the June Junkies. We made some friends (on this site) who pushed pretty hard for us to become part of the group. We were excited to meet new people and Dawn and Curtis were a delight! We only had a few conversations but loved those two. The problem was that Dawn had a few "clingers" [3-4 women (maybe 8-10 years older than her) that were EXTREMELY JUDGEMENTAL]. In full disclosure, I know I can be a bit intimidating and have a somewhat "overwhelming" look that can set women on the defensive, immediately. Despite several attempts to be warm and conversational, these women would immediately remove themselves, and even more quickly, their husbands, from my company. This wasn't all that surprising. It happens more than you think. You should see the wives when I go to a PTA meeting. Lol. Again, this is not an indictment on the June Junkies or on Dawn or Curtis, whatsoever. Just one experience from someone who was very interested in making new friends.

We did talk quite a bit with you while we were there. As i said, no resentment or anything.We've been a part of the June Junkies since we started going in '11. The group has grown immensely and it has become a lot easier to get lost in the fold. We just roll with it. We have a number of friends who are there at the same time that we have a lot in common with and we tend to stick with them. This being said, we are a welcoming group...don't be afraid to say hello!
I hope we weren't some of the ones you felt put off by.We did talk quite a bit with you while we were there. As i said, no resentment or anything.
