About us
Are you new to the area? Did you recently return but your friends no longer live here? Have you just been too busy with work to make friends?
This group is for anyone -- single, married, divorced, attached -- anyone who would like to meet other people in the area, make friends, and do some activities. This is not a singles group, though single people are welcome. It's not a hookup group. Just people who would like the opportunity to meet and make friends and perhaps do fun activities.
I envision activities as simple as going out to different restaurant, patios, kayaking somewhere locally, exploring museums, enjoying a picnic lunch somewhere, going to museums, taking a tour of local wineries, etc. The options are limitless and will give us a chance to explore Des Moines as well.
Let's explore Des Moines and its surrounding areas, meet interesting people and have a little fun!
There are some immuno-compromised members and others who spend time with those who are vulnerable, children, or unable to receive the vaccine. With respect for them and the CDC recommendations, you must be fully vaccinated to participate in these meetups. Proof of vaccination for each attendee must be provided at the meetup.
Please note: there is a free 60 day trial period; after that there is $10 annual dues to help offset the costs of using the Meetup site. Using the site is not cheap, but it is useful and allows everyone to participate and communicate with each other.
Who's ready to make new friends?

Purveyor
Purveyor, 505 east grand avenue suite 105, Des Moines, IA, US## The World’s Fine Wines. Iowa’s Greatest Products. Des Moines’ Finest Setting.
The Purveyor is a modern, European-style market that curates the best local charcuterie, exclusive tap to bottle wines and luxury baked goods by Doré Bakery. Sip, savor and host with ease – explore, experience and share the unexpected.
A plane ticket to Europe will run you a few thousand dollars. A night at Purveyor won’t. And nestled right in the East Village, the Euro-style café channels the relaxed spirit of a Mediterranean market with 15 wines on tap, curated charcuterie, small plates that change with the seasons and luxurious baked goods from Doré Bakery. If you’re there on a Friday, the seafood paella is a can’t-miss. Bottles of wine, cheeses and gourmet pantry items are available to take home, too.
