1/1/13 Update from the Organizer: Hope everyone had a very happy New Years... One of my resolutions will be to schedule a wider variety of activities on a more frequent basis throughout the new year.  And with over 200 members, it would be great if everyone could make a "resolution" to come on out to one of our activities and get to know other members. It's 2013... Winter is here... The days are short and getting colder. This can be a fun time of the year. And we will be scheduling a mix of indo …

This group will get together for friendly recreational activities such as outdoor recreation, dining out, board games, coffee shop conversations, traveling, skating, bowling and will welcome suggestions from members.

Living in or around the city, it is always fun to meet new and interesting people - especially when you are new to the area. But how do we do this without making it a HUGE deal? Sometimes we just need to get out for a bit without getting all done up or spending half of our paychecks on dinner & drinks! So, let's keep it simple! Wine & board games at home, afternoon coffee & chat session, or hiking the Wissahickon, it's all at our fingertips!
