Hello everyone! Thank you for your interest in the group. This group started out as a chance for rock climbers to be able to meet other climbers to have belay partners. The group is still that but it has also expanded to include many things. For example, there are now other fun adventures included such as hiking, snowboarding & Skiing, etc. The group also is known to often go out for dinners or drinks after to give people more time to socialize since while the activities are fun not all give as …

I am starting this meetup group for those of us who want to do or attend social events in the community or design our own within the group. Often, older gays would enjoy an adventure, activity, movie etc. but do not have a companion or friend to share them with. My proposal is to facilitate a way for us to meet others who enjoy similar interests or to try new ones or just to meet and expand our social lives. I can envision many ways this may happen and all who join can promote their own and …

This is a group for people in their 20's to get together, make friends, and have fun. I've personally found that after college it becomes a little harder to make new friends, and I've been hearing similar stories from a lot of peers. Maybe you went to college around here and after graduation your friends all moved back home or somewhere far away for a new job. Maybe you went to college elsewhere and just got a job around here. Maybe you just want to expand your circle of friends but are having t …

The reason I started this meetup group is because there have been many times in the past where I have wanted to go snowboarding but everybody was busy!  It's not as fun boarding alone (but I've done it many times)!  As the new ski season approaches, I thought there must be others out there like me, and decided to start this meetup. This meetup is for anyone who skis/boards or anyone who wants to learn.  You can meet up and car pool and have a fun day of exercise, fresh air, and new friends.

Calling courageous women! This is a group for women who've been widowed in midlife for mutual support, friendship and fun. This is not a grief support group (there's a need for that first!) but a future-looking group with whom to explore starting the next chapter. Author Becky Aikman had it right; when we're ready to move forward after loss, we need connection to others, resilience and flexibility, courage, and laughter. That's what this group aims to provide. We'll meet once a month, alternatin …

Lets get together and connect and share our trials and triumphs living with this condition. This group is for anyone looking to meet others that have this condition, for support & friendship.

"There are so many queer people around, but not much real queer community!" I've heard this too many times since moving to the Pioneer Valley so I thought we should change that. This is a group where queer and trans* people can make friends have fun together. Allies are also welcome to many events ("allies welcome," or "please, no allies" will be clear in the description of that particular event). We aim to create a safe place to bring up our questions, our fears, our pain and our joy; all of wh …
