We meet on Thursday nights …

I started this group because I love to read Sci-Fi and Fantasy books, but I rarely have anyone to discuss them with. I've only been in CT for a few months, and I would love to meet like-minded individuals that I can have fun with and also share my love for the fantastical.

Hi Valley Moms!! This group was getting ready to close and I thought I'd jump in to see if we can get some activity up and running again!  Valley Moms was started by a mom looking for kid friendly activities and chance to get out of the house with makeup on and recharge! Personally, I'm a WAHM of a 1 1/2 year old.  Getting out of the house for me means running errands or meeting with clients.  My daughter & I just don't have much interaction with other kids and moms, unless they happen to be a c …

We started out as Dr. Who Club, and watch that at most of our Meetups, but a lot of us are fans of other series like Torchwood, Downton Abbey, Sherlock, Misfits, Red Dwarf and other BBC Series.

It's listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-running science fiction series. The classic series r …

This is for anyone who has not sold back a math textbook because you haven't finished all of the problems yet. For everyone who has an original x-wing still in the package, this group is yours.

This group's aim is to connect local creative non-fiction women writers to form "writing buddy" partnerships. Published and aspiring writers are welcome to join. Some people have asked what creative nonfiction is. I'd refer people to two excellent books on the topic, although there are many others out there. Lee Gutkind's You Can't Make This Stuff Up, and Adair Lara's Naked, Drunk and Writing are two books that every CNF writer and aspiring writer should check out. Creative Nonfiction Magazine i …
