Singles, Couples, and Families all welcome!

Meet your neighbors, make new friends, and discover all that this beautiful area has to offer.  Whether you are new to the area, or you've been here a while and looking to make friends, this group is for you!

We try to schedule a variety of meetups, and we encourage our active members to suggest meetups as well! If you hear of anything happening nearby, please let us know! Some suggested meetups might be: local concerts/events/fairs, new restaurant openings, happy hours, children's events, walks, crafting, photo walks, geocaching, bowling, karaoke, biking, movie night, beer/wine tasting, dinner parties, holiday parties, picnics, etc. What do YOU like to do?

Looking forward to meeting you all!

If you want to suggest/host a meetup, please follow these guidelines:

- You must be an ACTIVE member, and have attended at least TWO events where at least one of the regular VBAN organizers also attended, and we've had a chance to get to know you. This is to ensure everyone's continued FUN and SAFETY! Thank you for your understanding!

- If your suggested event is approved (usually they are!), it will be announced as an official meetup and the rest of the group will automatically be notified. Usually the only reason it would not be approved is if we don't know you yet, or the event conflicts with another proposed event. Again, thank you for your understanding!

- This particular group has a lot of people who are new to the area, and quite often are new to the whole "meetup" concept itself. So, in your meetup description, state clearly, where and when you will meet, how long you will be in the meeting spot, and how they can find you. Try to think of questions a new person might have, and include that information in your description.

If you do not wish to host the event, and you are just letting people know about something interesting that is happening, include "No-host event" in the title.

- If you ARE hosting an event, please bring a "meetup" sign with you that is large enough to be seen clearly, and display it or hold it so that new members can find you easily. You can "google" the word "meetup" and print out the logo. Usually a half-sheet of cardstock, with the logo printed on the bottom half is good. You can then fold it in half and it will stand up by itself on a table.

See you soon!
