Transit-Friendly Hikes and Walks in (or near) Philadelphia are my personal focus as Organizer (as a car-free person), although carpooling is occasionally arranged.  I originally joined this group because of its low-key focus: simple local hikes, within an hour's drive of Philadelphia.   Please check our past calendar for the kinds of events we do (and may again).  Also please contact me if you have ideas for future events (especially if you are willing to work on them yourself). Thanks and see y …

We've been running a recreational league for the past several years, and we're always looking for men and women of ALL ages and skill levels from DC, MD and VA to join us. With a 5-on-5 format, it's a fast-paced game with minimal contact. While our men's and co-ed divisions are both low-key by football standards, the men's league tends to be somewhat more competitive. Once you sign up, we'll assign you to a team and provide a schedule of games, including playoffs. But since this is Meetup, you'r …

Ages of our children range from 0-7, with most moms having at least one child 3 or younger.  Members can live any where, but activities tend to be scheduled in the Fort Hunt and/or Old Town Alexandria area.

I would like to start a group to bring white collar adults together, on a very low-key and informal basis, to play some loud rock/blues music and drink some beers in the process. I'm sure that there are other people like this out there - maybe you have kids, maybe your job takes up all of your play time, maybe your wife yells at you for playing your guitar too loudly, maybe you want to play some music so loudly that you won't be able to hear others complaining that you've left the house to play …

We're a couple of relatively new Baltimore-area residents (who just recently met!) and we've noticed how hard it is to make friends who have similar interests once you get into your later 20s/early 30s. So...we decided to start this group for people who have been frustrated by how hard it is to make new friends at our age, especially when you're in a new city (though it can be hard when you've been here a while too). We're into going out to dinner, having picnics, checking out new places in Balt …

Welcome to DC GenX-Ms! Did you know that there are more than 600 GenXers in Metro Washington Mensa? We should get together more often than once or twice a month, right? There are so many fun and interesting things to do in DC that I decided a Meetup group would better accommodate our members. I encourage everyone who's interested to suggest and/or plan an event at will. I especially encourage those of us who are more low-key and introverted to suggest and plan events that they find attractive. M …

I am looking for bike rides that are casual and low-key, so anyone can come. All cyclists must be over 18, …

Hey there, women in their thirties (or beyond). We've discovered that despite what Hollywood wants us to believe, we are not at all dead and - dare I say it? - maybe even better than ever.

All are welcome - professionals, unprofessionals, singles, marrieds, moms, non-moms, artists, introverts, layabout playgirls, etc. It's fine if you're 29, but you have to be worldly and sophisticated, …

Since December 2011 we have met every Saturday from noon to 3pm to protest the sale of puppies from puppy mills at We Love Pets, a pet store in the shopping center at Baltimore Pike and Providence Road (Route 252). We try to educate the public about the evils of puppy mills and the pet stores that sell puppies from puppy mills. We feel that we are making great progress and many people thank us for our efforts. Our protest is always polite, low-key, and law-abiding. We are not sign-waving fanatic …

Welcome! This is a group for Moms (and Dads!) who are interested in getting together, during the weekdays (mostly), for socialization between ourselves as well as our toddlers / pre-schoolers (Preggers Moms and Infants welcomed, too!!).

I'm new to the area, so open to suggestions and looking forward to meeting new people! Let's play!
