One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

I've started this group in an effort to meet more friends. I've lived in Santa Cruz for over two years as a '30 something' and found that it's hard to meet fun and interesting ladies when you're not in college anymore. This is my effort to find fun things to do with other ladies like going out to game night, day outings, resturant visiting, movie watching whatever! Just as long as your fun loving and want to make new girlfriends!

You're a savvy chick that has some sort of interest in a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. You're tired of Meetup groups that don't weed out people you won't fundamentally click with because of your morals and values.

You want to meet other women your age who won't think you're weird when you talk about tofu. Let's meet up and be friends. To keep this g …

Fun, non cliquish group all for going out and meeting new friends!
