Maryland Area Separation Support (MASS) seeks to provide activities and support for those who find themselves in the process of separation, whether impending or in progress. Marriage separation, as distinct from the finality of divorce, puts your life in limbo. New friends must be acquired as former couple friends distance themselves from the discomfort of choosing sides. Financial decisions must be made as the equation has changed. Most of all, you need advice and support as the long-trusted sh …

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. This is a group for women to socialize, hang out, decompress, and/or otherwise get together and make friends. 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, …

Have you ever watched an episode of "Sex and the City" and wished you had a group of lifelong girlfriends just like them?  Don't you just wonder how they are all so unique, but each individually add so much to each other's life?  Welcome to Fierce and Fabulous Diamond Destined Divas, a new meet-up and women's social club in the State of Maryland that models itself after the wonderful friendship from "Sex and the City." Our main focus is getting together a group of women ages 35 to 65, who can sh …

Let's get together for lunch! This group of DIVAS (Daring, Innovative, Vibrant, Authentic, Savvy) is for women who are looking to make new friends, create new collaborations and want to be in a empowering environment. The type of woman who would enjoy this group is a work at home mom, entrepreneur, small business owner, author, speaker, coach or a woman interested in starting a business. We will start our lunch time fun at Le Madeline's in Columbia, MD. Come, join us, let's do lunch!

We like to ride. But sometimes we need a destination...somewhere interesting to go, where there will be interesting people to talk to. This group is NOT about organizing group rides, but rather to give riders a place to ride to. We'll pick times and places in the Baltimore/Washington area where riders can be sure there'll be a friendly face to chat about our bikes (or whatever), and maybe grab something to nibble and drink. Some destinations may be interesting landmarks, some may be as mundane a …

Calling all book lovers! I'd love to get together with other people who love to read as much as I do! We'll meet once a month at a coffee shop, park, or a members residence to dicuss our thoughts on the book and meet new people. We will pick out the books for 6 months in advance and we can all decide together what books to read. Everyone is welcome, men or women, young or old. I want to create this group to meet new people and have a great time together and look forward to meeting you all!

Come Meetup for friendship and reassurance, parenting and career advice, stories and fun. Sometimes we just need to get out of the house....or at least out of our own house! Walks in parks & malls, crafts or coffee. Just something to get us moving with other mothers! All are welcome so bring the kids!

Do you work at home in the Baltimore area? Let's get together to chat about our business (and non-business!) experiences, support each others' business efforts, and commiserate about, well, anything that needs commiserating about. This group is more of a casual social group than a group that holds business-like meetings. We'll go out for coffee, meet for lunch, take walks, and anything else that sounds like fun! Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for people in their 30's-40's who are Christian and single like yourself? Tired of traveling to the likes of DC, Baltimore, Virginia, or to just about the end of kingdom come to meet said age group of faith based singles? The Frederick, eastern West Virginia, and Hagerstown areas all have thriving Christian Singles communities, yet there seems to be little to no outlet for us to gather, discuss ideas on faith, theology, relationships, love, marriage, hiking, the last movie we saw, favort …

This is a group for anyone interested in, or already involved, with voice-overs! I started this group in hopes to meet other voice-over actors and producers in the Baltimore area. Let's meet up and talk about our home studios (if we have them!), our favorite kinds of coffee, and well...anything else related to the joys of voice-over work!

Our members are men and women of all nationalities who must be 69 or older. Come for laughs, conversation, a stand-in for a date, sharing your culture and history, a shoulder to cry on, or for just sitting and watching.  We plan each meetup at a location with access to public transportation and we travel as far as northern Virginia, D.C., southern Maryland, and of course Greater Towson Maryland.

Freelancers, soloists, telecommuters and budding entrepreneurs unite! Escape the isolation of home and the noise of coffee shops for the ideal combination of peaceful concentration and spontaneous collaboration opportunities. This meetup group will provide education about the co-working (a.k.a. "coworking") movement and assess the viability of creating a co-working space in upper Montgomery County. Initial plans include digging deeper into what it would mean to create a co-working space, checkin …

I love reading books aimed at a young audience, and I know other people must, too! Let's revisit old favorites like _A Wrinkle in Time_ and the _Half Magic_ series, as well as new classics like _When You Reach Me_, _Will Grayson, Will Grayson_, and _Marcello in the Real World_. We can also consider questions where we benefit from adulthood/hindsight, such as... Do you like _The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe_ any better or worse now that you know it's all Christian allegory? How in the world …

This is a small group for girls who were born in the '80s and want to make new friends and explore Baltimore together! We are interested in starting a book club, going to wineries, discovering new happy hour spots, learning to cook new things, going to see live music and everything in between. We want to hold events in both the city and the county so that there is something for everyone.
