Come meet new people or old friends. You might meet someone! Or you might meet a new friend or  simply have some fun.... I cannot guarantee a great time. If I could I would be God.

Our group is mainly 30s and 40s and some 50s, but all are welcome and have come before. We have happy hours, dinners, we can …

So, you are a Conservative in Montgomery County. Let me guess...you carpool with libs, work with libs, shop with libs, argue with libs. Do you always seem to be the token Conservative when you go out? Wouldn't it be great to have a group of people in their "right" mind to network and socialize with? We have all become activists this year, haven't we? But all those meetings and rallies, they're all business. Not a lot of time for conversation or telling l!beral jokes. This group is for getting to …

This group is intended for women in their 20s and 30s that are interested in making some new girlfriends and live and/or work in the Tysons/Falls Church/Vienna/McLean areas. There are some great meetup groups on here but their activities are centralized in Arlington/DC and it's just too hard to make it to them during the week with the traffic! I was thinking we could plan to meet up for dinners, movies, happy hours, or anything else anyone is interested in.  Also, on Friday nights and on the wee …

This is a postitive energy group focused on bringing African American/black/multicultural women (although by no means exclusive) together in Bethesda/Chevy Chase/Upper NW DC for friendship, fun, fellowship and comraderie in this area. All the meetups I've seen are fairly close (Silver Spring, Rockville, PG County, Gaithersburg, Germantown) but can prove difficult to get to in the evening, during rush hour, etc. I'd love to bring together a circle of African American/black/mulitcultural women tha …

This is a group for married or single women or men looking to make new friends in the area. This group is for people who want to actively meet people and get out of the house once or twice a month.

Things like walking, hiking, festivals, billiards, bowling, tennis, cooking...etc. If you prefer quieter, more laid back environments or the outdoors to loud bars/clubs/happy hours, this meetup is for you. Also for the work-evening meetups, I'd like to set up hours that are a little past regular happy hour/rush time, e.g. instead of 5-6, prefer 7-8-9, both to avoid traffic and to allow those of us who work later …
