If so, this group’s for you. This Meetup group for 20-Somethings is all about having fun and meeting new people. Beach bonfires, hiking, bowling, soccer, rock climbing, and bar nights are just some starting ideas; the sky’s the limit. We’ll have our first meetup once we reach our first 20 members, so tell your friends!

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!

Come join us for live interactive trivia contests. Not to be confused with NTN or Buzztime trivia which is played on the TV. Find out where you can go with all of your friends to play live trivia where a "Quizmaster" asks questions from a variety of categories such as History, Song Lyrics, Movies, Geography, TV, Sports, Food, etc.. Questions are grouped in sets and are given point values for your team to wager on your answers. Each team can use each point value only once in each set of questions …

Meet once a month at an agreed upon restaurant to critique the food, prices, noise, ambiance, etc. Whether you're new to the area or simply want to try new places to dine with family and friends, this is a great way to meet other like-minded individuals and try new places just for fun.

This is a group for ladies to get together. pamper ourselves, and do fun girly activities like doing lunch, clothes shopping, seeing chick flicks, spa days, ladies' night, home or theme based parties, all those things you can't get your husband/boyfriend to do with you. A great way to make new friends, or if you're new to the area, or if you just want more supportive positive feminine energy around you!

… Especially for professionals, most are limited to just their workmates and friends of relatives. They find it increasingly difficult to put themselves out there and press the “reset” button when it comes to meeting and accepting new people in their lives. As a solution, this group is created to educate, motivate, and bring together various singles to share fun experiences, insight and knowledge as well as help people commit to growing personally.

This is a FOODIES meetup group for 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's +. We will gather for dinners, happy hours, wine tastings, and other food related events. If you're new to the area, visiting or a long-time local, Dining Adventurers is a great way to make new friends and enjoy great cuisine!

… I have a sneaking suspicion that there are a lot of parents of young ones here in Carmel Valley with similar sentiments--- but for those of us with infants and toddlers who aren't in the school system yet, it can be tough to meet other parents and friends for our kiddos! I want to start a meetup group in the hopes that we can provide some activities that both parents and young children can enjoy, support each other through the rough spots in parenting and, who knows, even make some new friends - …
