I started this group to gauge interest in a women's book club for the Lexington area.  The club would follow a typical book club format.  The group would agree on a book to read each month (majority rules) and then meet at a local restaurant to discuss the book and socialize.  No dues yet, so please join if you are interested!

This is more of a reader's club than a book club. Instead of reading the same book and discussing it, members talk about books they have read. You can also bring books to trade or lend. We hope to also have trips to hear favorite authors and attend events. Given that gore, romance, erotica, and adult topics may be discussed, we don't recommend bringing children.

Listen up ladies!  If you enjoy discussing great books over yummy cocktails and delicious appetizers, then you have found the right group!  ABC club is for women only (sorry guys!) and will meet once a month to hold a book discussion, and share in a yummy potluck gathering including appetizers (finger foods) and beverages (can be of the ‘adult’ variety, but doesn’t necessarily have to be).  Books may be of any genre, and we vote on our members' book recomendations. We also plan socials at least …

This is Katherine's original vision for this club: "Here's my vision of a great book club: a smallish and diverse group of intellectually active women who can commit to reading a book a month (more or less) and making time to get together to discuss. I see the books being a mix of fiction and non-fiction - from classics to bestsellers, including some serious works and the occasional fluff piece. We do one book-related meetup a month and will occasionally have a social-only meetup. All are welcom …

The Bible is a single-volume collection of several historical texts that were composed over a period of many hundreds of years. The collection as a whole (or certain subsets thereof) is considered by Jews and Christians to be sacred, thus making it difficult to have a discussion of the Bible with many who are already familiar with it. This group is for those who wish to take an unbiased, secular approach to these texts. In a traditional Bible study, the purpose is to discover God's word through …

Why Infants & Toddlers of NE Columbia has been started to bring together friendly moms, their babies and young toddlers from NE Columbia. We feel it's very important for children to be exposed to other children around their age to develop socially as well as emotionally.

Calling all lesbians in Columbia and surrounding areas! This is a group for socializing and making new friends.

Or for their partners who are working on the car in the driveway or watching football. Or for those who don't fit the stereotype …
