Good books and good food go hand in hand, I think! A not-taken-too-seriously sort of women's book group that also shuns your everyday "chicklit" - not because some aren't romping good reads but they don't exactly warrant full discussion. Meetings take place at a restaurant or establishment so we can all try new places. Also, if you don't quite get around to finishing the book (or reading it for that matter...no worries!).  Just feel free to come to the meetings and socialize too.  Quarterly, we …

Are you shy? Do your people skills suck? Do you have a hard time making new friends?  Are you tired of your friends trying to "fix" you by telling you to relax, be more outgoing, in other words, "get over your shyness" ? Do you wish you could hang with a group of people who understand you, who won't judge you for being quiet, for how you look, for how you smell, (ok, please don't stink), or if you say the wrong things, or don't say anything at all - in short - for being socially awkward?  Have y …

Are you tired of trying to find the right place to meet mature (48-65 ish), eligible single folks?  I am.  Bars send the wrong message; singles events are mainly about dancing and loud music with no opportunity to actually get to know folks; dating websites are expensive or just not very helpful and some other meetup groups seem to more like a singles "meat market", only for young folks, or they are non-singles events. I have started this group because I love going out to dinner and socializing …

There are so many groups out there for "women only" - do guys do that sort of thing? Well, we do! This is a group for guys that love live music (or occasional movies) and want to go with a good group of guys, and hit up some food beforehand. I started this group because I do this all the time with individual friends, and would like do this with a handful of friends. I love going up to SF and seeing some interesting band that I've never heard of. They might be great or they might suck, and either …

We are a great group of people who are in their 20s, 30s, 40s and early 50s. We are friends eager to make new friends; fun friends who prefer activities, dining out and getting together for hiking and dancing. I absolutely love the variety of the activities the great Bay Area has to offer. I love to meet with new people & make friends while engaging in different activities. I'd like to help people get out, exercise and make friends. I am an advocate of healthy & conscience living while in favor …

This is a group for women in their 30s who feel they are going through major transitions in life, i.e., career, family, new home, friendships/relationships, spirituality, etc. As a woman in my 30's, I definitely experienced this transition and I am still going through it now. It seems that the 30's is such an important stage in life when you are redefining yourself, establishing yourself and asserting who you are as an adult in the world. My purpose in creating this group is to create a space fo …

This is a crazy idea I have.  To create a kind of virtual, old-fashioned neighborhood of friends to do stuff with when its more fun to be with someone than alone. I have no idea if anyone else has a need for this kind of community, nor have I thought through the details of how to make it work.  I need folks to show interest, share ideas, and share in leadership. Purpose: Create horizontal community that transcends age and interests.  Community for the sake of community.  There is nothing wrong w …

Do you love a fun dinner party? And with healthy food and new friends to boot? Then you have found the right group! We invite you to join a group whose love of healthy cooking is exceeded only by our love of good food and of even better company. We generally meet once a month for a dinner party in a member's home or other location. The host determines the theme and everyone else brings a completed dish to share. If this sounds good to you (and you live on the San Francisco Bay Peninsula, Califor …

Everyone is welcome to this group, singles and couples.

Our goal is to meet during the work week for a night of casual and fun night life. We are looking for fun, social, and enjoyable people in the Peninsula who want to meet more young 20-early 30's. People, lets get up off the couches and spend a couple of hours out at cool events/bars/lounges/restaurants in a respectful and full of laughter environment.

Welcome to Peninsula Rec & Leisure! By joining this up-and-coming group YOU get to decide how this group will mold into a fantastically fun experience for all! For now, the group will focus on hidden Happy Hours tucked in and around the peninsula. I’m a huge advocate for finding new uncharted locations for food and drink! Why? Because some of the best (and worst) places I’ve ever been to, have been off the beaten path…..and each one provides a memorable story! Why settle for what you know when y …

Meet up with other 30-somethings for great dinners out in Palo Alto and other nearby cities. We'll pick both casual and fine dining options, and eventually branch out to dinner parties at people's homes if folks are interested. Mainly this is a way to get out and enjoy some new restaurants while meeting likeminded people in your age range for new friends, dating, and/or professional networking. Why not take advantage of the chance to meet some of the incredible, interesting people who probably l …
