Although 70-90% of parenting our children has nothing to do with adoption - it is nice to have a group of friends who understand the other, important, 10%. And for our children, having a group of peers who have, at the very least, this piece of their puzzle in common. This group can serve as a sounding board for the parents - discussing best practices for dealing with the variety of …

Our group is not a Club or a Guild. We're a very laid back group. There are no dues or fees... and there never will be.

We come from all walks of life in the area. It's always interesting to get together and get to know each other. We've become a close-knit (ha) group, but always welcome newcomers to join us. …

The whole purpose of this group is to avoid the loneliness SAHM's often feel. We encourage members to be active in our group and have several activities each week to do.

Tours of local businesses (fire department, dairy farm, police station, etc), stroll through the malls, walk the neighborhood trails, dine at local restaurants - both with and without our children, play dates at member's homes, trips to the zoo and park …

A fun group of young women who love to read getting together in a social setting twice a month to discuss the book of the month.

I decided to begin this group so that people who have questions about spirituality & new age lifestyles have a place to go, to learn and to blossom. It was also created for those who have already began the journey, for those who want to share ideas, their passion and ultimately the "Truth" for those who are searching. The purpose of this group is to bring people back to their inherant power and the loving nature of God/the source in their life. The purpose is to empower the participants and enco …
