I started this group because we hike a lot with our kids and we wanted to share the experience with other families in the area.  We pick a different spot to hike once or twice a week and we all meet-up for the hike.   And now that the group has been up and running for several years, I have to say that it is one of the days a week that I look forward to the most.  SInce many of us started out with Preschoolers, the group used to be called hiking with preschoolers, however, now those kids are ente …

This group will be devoted to social events for people in their 20's & 30's in the Greenville and Surrounding Area. I am new to Greenville but was in a group in Cleveland Ohio that had this concept and it was great. I am probably not the person to be running it but figured I would start it and hopefully someone will respond that they would like to run and I can be secondary. I am just moving to the city and wouldn't know the top places to set up events yet.

I make NO excuses for the title of this group.  Meetup.com itsself was created AT GROUND ZERO in NYC and BECAUSE of GROUND ZERO.  If you have questions about the heart of the group, go to MEETUP.COM and see why indeed, they STARTED MEETUP.COM.  It is now a worldwide meetup phenomenon because of the World Trade Center disaster on 9-11.  Sometimes blessings come from tears.  Sometimes hope springs out of disasters..  We ALL need to reconnect with our fellow man.  Love God first, but second only to …

Looking to start a walking or hiking group for stay at home moms or stay at home dads with babies or young children. We could take turns meeting up in member's neighborhoods for stroller walks or meet at a local park for short hikes. I'm a new mom who just stopped working to stay at home with my now 4 month old. He and I have been going for walks and short hikes but would love company for interesting adult conversation! Hoping this could be a once a week activity.

Unconditional love is known as affection without any limitations. How spiritually liberating would it be to love everyone, self included, with a "mother's love?" It's easily said about ones own children, but what if you have to apply the same concept toward a co-worker that never has an uplifting word? Better yet, what if you were told to stand in front of a mirror and project that same relentless feeling to a reflection of personal imperfections? Within the past year, I've been on a quest. A qu …

This group is being started as a branch of The Charlotte Metro Christian Singles however I don't want to limit it to only singles so that is why I'm calling it a social group instead of a singles group! Now at times I may cross promote meetups with the Charlotte group until our group grows but I would like to see our group be able hold its own eventually. I am currently a member of several meetup groups in the Charlotte area cause those are the most active groups with the most members. The main …

This is a group for women over 50 (though some exceptions may be made for women who are not yet 50) to meet new friends, socialize, share experiences, etc. I'm starting this group because, as a single woman over 50, I find myself wanting to get out and do things, go places, but it is hard in my community to find other women who want to do the same. Most of my friends are married. I know there must be other women who are looking for more friends, activity partners; women who want to enjoy life. I …
