What we’re about
Are you starting your fitness journey, or want to? Not sure if you can do a hardcore off-trail hike or bike 30 miles, but find it easier to exercise with friends and accountability buddies? This group strives to improve the physical and mental well-being of its members, though activities such as walking, biking, social events, and other unique happenings. The pace for these events will be casual. Our activities will generally be in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area.
This is an inclusive group. All genders and races are welcome and encouraged to join!
Attendance: If you RSVP, be kind! Don't be a no show. Attendance is limited for many events, and is noted for all events. We want to ensure good turnout and be fair to those on the waiting list. Members with 3 no shows will be a put on 6 month hiatus from the group and can apply to rejoin after that time. Part of the ethos of the group is to be accountable to ourselves and others in committing to events to increase our wellness!
You must have a clear profile picture in order to join.
Standard Disclaimer: this is not intended to serve as any kind of health provider or treatment, as we are strictly a social group.
Nobody under the age of 18 is allowed to attend without an adult guardian present.

Let's enjoy the beach at Pierre Marquette Beach!
Bring any games that a group can partake in. Feel free to bring snacks/drinks/lake items you might need while we're there. If you're looking to carpool, leave a comment, and we'll see what we can arrange. Otherwise, plan to meet on the beach.
Watch Event Chat and Comments for updates. I'll update people on what they need to look for when they reach the beach.
We will sit on the beach to the left of a restaurant called "The Deck" and also to the left of the path leading to the pier .
I'll have a Meetup banner if I can purchase a canopy before the event. Keep checking the comments for the exact location.
This event is shared between 5 groups on both sides of Michigan!

The International Friend Connection will be getting together for our annual get together in New York City.

If you'd like to save some money, the La Quinta in Secaucus is a fairly affordable place and only a 25 minute bus ride to the Port Authority Bus Station in Manhattan. Here is the link but you can get a cheaper price on other sites:
