While living on the west coast, I discovered the "Geek Club", a place for all things to please the inner geek in all of us! When I moved out here, I wanted to find something like that and I started this group. Our event types are really dependent on what the members ask for. Video games, museums, boardgames, movies & book discussions, it's all fair game! The group is open to all ages, genotypes, prototypes, and even meeples!

Why "somewhat" difficult? Partly it's about humility: Not everyone will agree about what qualifies a book as "difficult," and occasionally we'll read something that you don't struggle with at all. But no matter what your opinion of, oh just for example let's say Slaughterhouse Five, most people can agree that it at least requires more concentration, more analysis and more reflection than The Notebook (nothing against The Notebook if that's your thing). Maybe Vonnegut -- or Great Expectations …

I saw that there is a group in Mannassas and Bristow, but that's a bit of a hike for me. If there are any moms who would like to get together so that they and their kids can speak, or at least be exposed to Russian (my toddler isn't talking yet), please join this group. *********************************** Я видела что существует группа в …

This is a group for board game players who like to share a few drinks while meeting other people and playing a few games. I'm interested in incorporating ALL types of board games and even card games into this group, so don't hesitate to suggest something you'd like to play. It is my sincere hope that this can be a relaxed and non-competitive environment where newcomers and game masters can enjoy playing together and even teach each other some new tricks and skills. Don't be intimidated if you' …

This group was created for the 20s-30s Northern Va woman who is new in town(or has been here for awhile) and wants to make new friends. While there are some great groups out there, I've noticed that they either grew quite large and the meetups filled up quickly or some of the meetups were occurring less and less. This group enjoys happy hours, brunches, dinners, movies, outdoor activities, trips, etc. We have a calendar full of upcoming events, so find one that interests you and join in :) Thank …

I am a health & wellness coach dedicated to leading women to freedom from their fears, shame, and guilt. I know what it is like to feed feelings with food, dress shame in nice clothing, and drown guilt with a bottle of red wine. I also know what it feels like to remove those shackles, take better care of myself, love my body, and finally become comfortable with the person I am today and look forward to the person I will become. Is there something you always wanted to do, but were afraid of wha …

Welcome to the Alexandria Events Club! We are one big community with plenty to do! This area alone has many tennis courts, festivals, shows and cheap eat restaurants. To be able to see it all would be impossible but if we can explore just a few now and then, we will be golden. So, let's get out, meet your neighbors and enjoy what Alexandria and the next town over has to offer. All are welcome. All events are only in public venues which means no private homes, no over night trips and no camping. …

The Coping and Rebuilding are programs to help people manage the trauma of separation, divorce, or widowhood. Volunteer facilitators, each of whom has participated in the programs, work with groups of participants to give support and share experiences. Anyone may participate. Since the first Washington DC-area session in 1989, thousands of people have taken these programs to help them through the ending of their relationships. The Arlington Diocese Office for Family Life sponsors both programs. …
