A book club is a great way to meet new people and share opinions. I have found book clubs to be both intellectually stimulating and emotionally supportive.  This is my second meetup book club and this group will be run by the memebers.  There is a wide range of books all suggested by members.  Anyone can suggest a meetup. If you have a book you would love to read/discuss then suggest a time and day for the meeting. Don't be shy, others will join you.  I will try to help with the organizing end, …

This is a group for FUN women in their 30's & 40's who like to read and need to get out on the town every now and then. We'll pick a book to read and then meet every other month or so. This is a loose book club! We can discuss the book or just socialize when we gather. Reading the book simply gives us something to break the ice and meetings give us an excuse to get out of the house. If you are interested in a serious, cerebral discussion about the book choice, this is NOT the club for you! If yo …

This group is the fitness group of all groups in the area that will focus on high intensity interval training as well as incorporating every single aspect of health, nutrition and exercise.

We are a small group of writers, each with a unique story or series of stories to tell.  Our goal is to meet a couple times a month to inspire, encourage and support one another as we commit to our writing journeys.  Ultimately each of us aspires to get published and to keep on writing as long as the muse calls.  We are purposely keeping this circle of writers small to maintain the intimacy and integrity of the group - similar to a book club.  However, we do have a waiting list for future member …
