While there are several organizations out there for Vets, this group is aimed at bringing together the younger crowd to socialize, have fun, and hopefully make a few new friends along the way.

This is a group for people who enjoy intelligent conversation and dining out with new friends.  It is that simple.  To help you decide whether or not this is the right group for you, ask yourself:  Do you enjoy meeting new people?

We discover that age is just a number -- and the only measure worth taking is the quality of our life. That is the attitude that this group is all about. It is like being reborn, but without the growing pains. So join us -- and enjoy life! Of cou …

Hi All, We have a wonderful, loving, but VERY energetic 8 month-old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier (mix?? We adopted her from a shelter...). She seems to have a little too much energy for some of the dogs at the dog park and her day camp, so one of our friends suggested trying to start a Wheaten Terrier playdate. We're hoping there are other Wheaten Terrier owners in the Northern Virginia/DC area who might be interested as well!

Update: January 15, 2013 Who we are and what we are doing: We are a group of individuals and families who are following the pioneer spirit that founded this great country.  We are, as Holly said in her food presentation, concentrating on preparing for the little disasters with high probability.  A car goes out of control or an ice storm hits and you have no power for a few days.  A hurricane visits and now you need a few weeks.  Without power how will you heat and cook?  If you cannot leave yo …
