NOTE: People in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Newport News AND Hampton are encouraged to join the group! Open to other areas as well!
This group is for anyone who is positive, open-minded (LGBTQ+ very welcome), and maybe lost souls or more introverted people who would like to meet up and have a friendly day or time out, while making a difference in our communities or uplifting the lives of others!
Maybe doing some fitness or training? Hiking on one of the many trails? Bowling? Restaurant hopping? Charity work, like, maybe getting together for some arts and crafts for sick children in hospitals? Trash pickup around docks and such? Anime night? Game night? Reading night??? I am flexible and open and a meet and greet is a nice way for me to introduce myself and tell you about all the random things I am into and why I made the group! This group, besides doing good in the community, aims to slay a common enemy --- BOREDOM, and my interests are many!
I am one of those people who isn't from Virginia originally, and I'm still finding myself (meeting people can be HARD) --- having said that, this is not a "singles" or dating group. I would love to have a group with people from many walks of life, lifting each other up! If you are interested in a friendly meet and greet, and for doing other things, I'd love to meet you! Good hearts and intentions are welcome :) --- You may learn new things in this group, try new things and find you love them, and maybe even make some friends yourselves! *Kids are fine at events, provided they are accompanied by a legal guardian.
If I feel you do not "vibe right" though, or are doing some sketchy stuff in the group, now or later, I can remove you without a given explanation (or if you RSVP and are a "no call, no show" too often) so please keep that in mind. I have myself and the potential safety of others to consider. Having said all that, make yourself comfortable --- This group is currently doing some wonderful things, and it makes me happy. Get in on some of this! (Or not, come whenever you are comfortable, I'm not going to force you like some tyrant or such. That would be cruel.)

Making Cards For Hospitalized Kids --- At Indian River Library!
Indian River Library, 2320 Old Greenbrier Rd, Chesapeake, VA, USHello again, Uplifters! A note: this event will be a bit longer than the previous ones, as it will likely be the last event for this year! Like before, there are some rules/guidelines for making the cards! You can read them at:
https://www.cardsforhospitalizedkids.com/faqs.html
Outside of the rules on the website, this meetup is at a library where we can talk, but not be too loud, so please keep that in mind. I'll bring a large batch of supplies I have (I HAVE TONS, thanks to very kind donations 😊), like markers, construction paper, a few rulers, stickers, etc. --- Any supplies you want to bring would be awesome --- things like old magazines (to cut out photos) and stickers are always great, as are glue sticks and pens and pencils! :)
You may make wholesome cards about nearly anything you would like! I will be making cards centered around the holiday season (you do not have to)! Just be sure to check out the rules about glitter and wording (in particular, please avoid "Get well soon", but you can say kids are great, strong, etc.). Because it will be too close to Halloween when the cards are shipped, you can make general cards, or cards for other upcoming holidays. The Cards For Hospitalized Kids organization prefers to get cards about a week before a holiday to have time to sort and send to different hospitals throughout the nation. Thanks for reading! 📚 😀
