Do you have a pre-teen/teenager who is quirky? Not very social or lacks social skills? Would you describe your son/daughter as a geek or nerd? I am a mother interested in forming a Meet Up Group for quirky kids to get together and play D&D or board games or video games or just to "hang out".

In these uncertain times, the Great Recession has reminded us of our vulnerabilities. Unemployment and Anxious Employment. Debt. Foreclosure. Evaporating Savings. Rising Costs. Job Insecurity. In response, Resilience Circles (also called Common Security Clubs) are forming around the country! Together, these circles of people learn about the causes of the economic and ecological challenges and how to face them, while simultaneously building relationships that strengthen our communities and build …

I’m trying to set up a book club. Here’s the criteria: (1) gay men (2) in the Boston area (3) reading fiction (4) and meeting every month or so. I used to be in a book club in the suburbs, with my wife and three other couples. But in 2010, when I came out … I got kicked out! Now I want to start up a new group. Rather than a large group with people participating some times and not others, it would be a small group, maybe 8-10 guys, who are committed to doing the reading and showing up each month. …

… I personally know and hope to get Tom Monte, John Kozinski, Michio Kushi, and / or Rodd Stockwell, M.D. as early speakers. Who would you like to listen to? Perhaps YOU could be a speaker, if you have an area of expertise or are a professional in some health-related or consciousness-related field. Health professionals could give informative talks that would be educational as well as introduce your business. Meetings will range from a low or no-cost meeting where a few of us gather to read …

Hello and Welcome to the Red Line Book Club! (Formerly the Davis Square Book Club).  "A book is like a garden carried in the pocket." This is a club where friendly interesting people meet to discuss the books we have all read together. If there is a general theme to the books we read, it's that we read "great" books: enduring classics and new books with lots of potential. You have the entire rest of the world with whom you can discuss Stieg Larsson; here we try to dig at least a little deeper. F …

Maybe you've taken a photography workshop before or tried picking up one of those thick, boring books, but you quickly got overwhelmed and overloaded with th …

Needless to say, it was quite different than what I was use to. I belonged to a similar group in Manhattan. And, what began as weekly brunch quickly grew into monthly movies, five mile Fridays (long runs in Central Park), Sunday afternoons at our fave neighborho …

Hey all, this group is for people that are new to the awesome city of Boston (or surrounding areas)!

Our crowd is usually half regulars, half newcomers so don't be shy if you've never done meetup before! The organizers are Mike and Lauren and we make sure …
