**This Group is kept small** Based in the Ashburn and Sterling, VA area. We welcome all people in surrounding locations that feel as if they are living in Stepford Village., which seems to encompass most of Loudon County, VA.  I am starting this group in hopes to meet new friends.

What's fun about sitting around do nothing with …

The purpose of this group is to discuss books that we find we can't put down after the first reading.  We'll discuss the elements of the story that we most connect with. Drinking warm, soothing tea such as jasmine, oolong, mint, constant comment, green leaves with orange peel, or peppermint will enhance your discussion of what we will read. How comfy is that? This group will appeal to diverse women over who enjoy laughing and crying over a good read. If you feel as if you would like to discuss y …

This group is for people who would rather entertain in their own home than go out to a restaurant for fun.  If you don't have the room for entertaining then that's ok but you need to be willing to contribute food and drink on a regular basis when other members hold events in their homes.  The idea is for someone to host a get together (dinner party, wine tasting, movie night, barbecue, whatever) and determine a "theme". The host(ess) generally  provides the main dish and the others bring theme o …

Update: January 15, 2013 Who we are and what we are doing: We are a group of individuals and families who are following the pioneer spirit that founded this great country.  We are, as Holly said in her food presentation, concentrating on preparing for the little disasters with high probability.  A car goes out of control or an ice storm hits and you have no power for a few days.  A hurricane visits and now you need a few weeks.  Without power how will you heat and cook?  If you cannot leave yo …

This year the Gainesville and Manassas communities are joining the world-wide phenomenon of Flash Mobs. For those of you not familiar with this latest craze, a flash mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place to perform an act (usually dance) and then suddenly disperse. (Remember the scene in “Friends with Benefits” with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis “mobbing” in Grand Central Station?) Interested in having fun? We think the element of surprise is the most intriguing par …

Do you live in NoVA and love fresh, locally grown foods and locally produced wines and spirits?

I'd like to get a group of men together 35 to 60 who are divorced and mostly single (ok if you re-married). For bonding, support, socializing, dinners or drinks out, brunches, house parties, sports (watching and playing). I'm new with a year under my belt in DMV area and would like to build some kind of social network. I realized after two divorces (and 3 kids) that I had not built many lasting male friendships. Lots of stories to share from the online dating thing to numerous geographical reloc …

This is a group for women over 40 who are interested in meeting and discussing a book of the month over a cup of coffee, glass of wine or a beer. This is a time for us to have a short break from our husbands, kids, pets, and all responsibilities--some "me" time to have enjoyable discussions about the book we've read as a group. I'm more interested in meeting out, but if others prefer, we can also meet at each others' homes (but that's more work!).
