… When I was looking for a Meetup group to join it was important to me to find women about my age who share a common background. I was not interested in joining a group that had a particular agenda or theme, but was looking for one less formal and open to exploring many different possibilities for excitement, friendship, and adventure. Like many women, I do not take enough time to play. Life just gets too busy with all the "must do" activities and "to do" lists.  I got to a point where it was t …

My husband and I had our first child, Jesse, on June 23, 2010. We quickly noticed how much being a parent changes some of your friendships when your friends do not have children! We would like to meet other couples who would enjoy an occasional evening out as well as different get-togethers with the babies. We would like to keep the group limited to babies born in 2010 to first-time parents. Our hope is for all of us and our children to build long-lasting friendships with each other. Maybe somed …

Are you an empty nester looking to meet new friends and start that next chapter in your life?  When my daughter moved on to college a couple of years ago I realized that most of my women friends were those I associated with at school functions, band functions, etc. and I no longer had as much contact with them now that our kids were off on their own.  So I decided to try and form a meetup group for women at a similar stage in life as myself to develop some new friendships.  I would like to sched …

"My sister and I are avid readers. After exploring this site and seeing how popular ChickLit type groups are, we decided it might be fun to start our own. My sis works at Barnes and has an "In" to all the good ChickLit books coming out. So we hope to have some really good books to read and discuss.
