Adoptive Parents

This is a free, confidential \*\* in person \*\* support group for LGBTQiA+ identified persons, as well as family, friends, and allies of LGBTQiA+ people. WHAT TO EXPECT: We gather at 6:45 pm. We start at 7:00 pm and end at 8:30 pm. Attendees participate in a sharing circle where people discuss issues, ask questions, offer personal experiences, suggest advice and solutions, etc. Attendees have different journeys and experiences, which makes for a large fount of useful and beneficial information, tips, and advice. You may participate in the discussion, or just observe: whatever you feel comfortable doing. Every meeting is different and you will probably find the discussion interesting. You will feel a sense of being connected to others as they share and discuss issues. The discussion is moderated by a facilitator to ensure fairness and to meet the needs of all the attendees. Topics vary by month and by meeting depending upon the needs of those who attend. New attendees almost universally feel very glad that they attended our support groups. While our support groups are for the LGBTQiA+ community and their loved ones and allies, we would also like to encourage significant others of transgender and gender diverse loved ones to join our support groups. We gather at 6:45 pm. We start at 7:00 pm and end at 8:30 pm. **NOTE:** even though many of our support group meetings are held in churches, PFLAG Austin is agnostic with respect to religion. We do not endorse nor discuss religion in our support groups. ABOUT PFLAG AUSTIN: we are a chapter of a national non-profit organization that provides free, confidential support groups for Austin, Texas area LGBTQiA+ persons, along with their family and friends. If you, or someone you care about, has come out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, then PFLAG Austin meeting is a great place for you to be!

This is an always free, outdoor, peer-led workout open to all men, rain or shine, centered on rucking and fellowship. Bring a weighted ruck if you have one. If not, just come ready to walk. All fitness levels are welcome. The planned route is 4 miles, but you are welcome to shorten the distance or go at your own pace if needed. A headlamp, flashlight, or cell phone flashlight is recommended, since it will be dark when we start. Please use common sense and take responsibility for your own safety. Bring water, snacks, proper footwear, and any other essentials you may need. This is a peer-led group, not professional training or medical advice. Know your limits, use good judgment, and participate at your own pace. Questions?

we've had some weird things happen with the location in the Meetup app. the right address is 2471 AW Grimes, very close to 45 in a small shopping center. it is NOT in downtown Round Rock Hey there F$#&ing friends! Love music? Love winning? Then Music Bingo is your jam! 🎵 Win awesome prizes, enjoy great drinks, and vibe to the music! Let’s play! 🎸🍻 No bingo card required, you play on your phone. How it works: they play a short clip of a song, and then regardless of whether you know it or not, they'll give you the answer so you can mark it on your phone..if you happen to know it and can mark your board a little faster, yell BINGO! There's a theme for each round, it's good times and good music. 🎸🍻 If you're not into the bingo scene, there's a ton of games and a full bar. The food is also pretty good.
