This group is for women 40 and beyond. Searching the internet for the "right one" can make you go through more pages then even hanging out too many weekends at the girly bar. There is something about reaching this time in your life which makes you reflect on the path you have traveled thus far.

Another happy hour group, but one with a specific area in mind. If you live or work in or near downtown Minneapolis, this one should be easy to get to and from.  Everyone is welcome though.  Relax after work, enjoy a cold drink, and meet some new people. I started this group since I live downtown but travel a lot and work out in the middle of nowhere.    So I figured there's got to be others who are in the area, but looking for people to join them and meet new people...

This is a group for those who love ideas, culture, great conversations, and staying active all year long. We read works of (primarily) fiction with a strong sense of time and place, ideally written by an author from the locale in which it’s set. Traveling the world in our reading, it seems only fitting that the discussion be also on the move! So we take our conversations out-of-doors for a walk around our wonderful local Twin cities neighborhoods, lakes, parks, etc. and conclude for final though …

A game of dice, luck & prizes. Very easy to learn! A night for us ladies to get loud and have fun! Ring the bell, roll the dice and accumulate points.

Each person plays host only once a year - Get it? 12 people …

This group is all about 20-something-year-olds stepping out of their comfort zones and trying new things. The idea is to pick one random thing each week for the group to do together, such as attend a dubstep show, go snowshoeing, visit an art gallery, barhop in Downtown Minneapolis, run a 5k, etc. I started this group because I love doing random things. Recently however, after landing a 9-to-5 job, I haven't been as spontaneous as I would like to be, which is why I created this group: I want us …
