We care more about w …

Meetup locally with other people who like to cook. Trade recipes, tips, ideas, cookbooks, and discuss all the magic in the kitchen! We will also incorporate wine and occasional dining out at some great locally chef-owned restaurants too! You don't need to be a chef or a "great" cook to join the group.....just someone (or a couple) that loves food and creating in the kitchen! Because many of these events will be taking place in private homes, I ask that all members post a photo(s) of themself …

My husband and I moved from the Bay Area (CA) to Oregon about a year and a half ago and have recently become established in Beaverton OR.

We are hoping to make some new friendships in the area! Members are welcome to bring their board games over and teach the group. We own some fun Euro-style board games. S …

On a practical level, this Portland social group is for lesbian/queer and queer-friendly women who have vitality and a strong sense of self. I say "practical" because I realize that most people use meetup casually, to meet others and find things to do from time to time. But ideally, I'd like to manifest a village of warriors. To me, a true warrior of modern times is a strong woman who has a healthy relationship with power. She speaks her truth, walks her own path, lives by her chosen principles …

The goal of this group is to explore and experience the unique culture of Portland and the northwest. Think of it as tourism for locals. About 50% of the people on every event are newcomers to Portland or to the group. It's a great way to meet new people while enjoying new experiences. I host at least 20 events on the calendar per month. Most of the events are done on foot, but some are simply showing up at a particular destination for fun. Events include: Dining and entertainment walks (highli …

Hi, I'm Suzanne.  I'm involved in other meetup groups but can't seem to find activities on my side of town so I'm starting my own!!

Who are we? Collectively, we are part of the largest percentage of the population, born between 1946 and 1964. We are strong women who are re-inventing age, seeing ourselves at least 12 years younger. We know who we are and what we want.  We are generally tired of social scenes where we are not as young as most,  but, certainly not "old"!  We wish we could just hang out, relax, and have fun with others our own age. We are on TOP of the proverbial "hill", not ready to start going downhill! We are …

Nearly everyone has a "I drank too much tequila when I was in college" story, bad memories or aversions. And others, may go into a bar and be what we call, "try-curious" about tequila, but are intimated or confused by the many choices available. Tequila is such a dynamic, interesting, wonderfully rich spirit. There are so many excellent blends and for people who like fine wine or crafted beer, there are lots of similarities. Through tasting events, in a non-intimdating and welcoming way, we prov …

Rumor has it that Portland has the best selection of happy hours in the U.S. Well, let's find out! Stop making unfulfilled resolutions about meeting new people and making new friends. Join a group of other Portlanders that are creating a sense of community.

Whether you're new to the area, or are a native and just find yourself in a situation where you would like to meet new people you can relate to, this group may be …

I'm a hostess, promoter, coordinator, and matchmaker by nature. Since moving to Portland, I decided to make my joy my job, which is networking people and making beneficial bonds. I love to dance and make introductions, so this group is for people (singles, entrepreneurs, newcomers) looking to make new connections through me from all the networking I do already. I'll share all that I'm up to, over the weekends and hope to make many friends make more new friends, and perhaps even fall in love. Sin …
