Sobre nosotros

This group is for fun and active people who want to socialize and make some lasting friendships (this is NOT a dating group!). We have a positive and energetic vibe going in this group with an emphasis on a safe and fun environment. It is open to adults of all ages, and members are welcome to post events (let me know if you want to do that!). Dues free, but donations appreciated to help with the annual group fee each June. Please scroll and read all of the policies below.

GROUP POLICIES:

To join, you MUST have a profile picture with a clear view of your face and use your real first name. (You're photo must be of you, not a pic of just your pet, not an abstract art pic, no ChatGPT/AI pics, no partial face pics, etc.). AI Generated/AI Enhanced photos are not allowed.
To join, you must be based in Northern Ohio. If not, you'll have to explain in the Join Questions why you are trying to joing the group, and could be declined at the Organizer's discretion.
Per Meetup policies, membership in this group is at the discretion of the Organizer.
No discussion of politics or other divisive topics. Keep things friendly!
No bad behavior at any event, in chats, in comments, or with organizer/event hosts. Violating policies and/or bad behavior can result in being removed and banned from the group.
Banned people can NOT attend an Event as a Guest! Banned means banned! They know who they are.
If you RSVP you are expected to show up. If something comes up and you can't make it, it is super easy, barely an inconvenience to just change your RSVP!
No Show Policy: No shows aren't only rude, they have an impact on the restaurants we visit when we make a reservation. Restaurants staff based on expected volume, empty seats lose them money and can impact our event host's reputations as a reliable reservation-maker. No shows are already logged by Meetup (based on Attendance recording) but now will also be logged in your "Custom Title" in your group member profile. 1 No Show - you are moved to the Wait List whenever there is one. 2 No Shows - $2 penalty that must be paid before you can sign up for events. 3 No Shows - you're out! At my discretion, maybe I'll let you pay a higher penalty fee to get back in, maybe not!
If there is a Wait List, Members in Good Standing will be given priority. Good Standing means you do not have a chronic history of No Shows, or very Late Dropping out. People with a history of No Shows, Very Late, and/or Chronic Late Dropping Out will be moved to the Wait List.
HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT: You join and attend events at your own risk, and AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS Meetup, the Group Organizer, and the Event Hosts from any loss, liability, damage or cost, including court costs and attorney's fees, that they may incur due to your participation in said activity, WHETHER CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE OF RELEASEES or otherwise.
THANKS, AND NOW LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!
