This is a ladies only group, focused on forming friendships while doing fun things. Let's go to a museum, enjoy some food and conversation, go camping, to a concert/play/show, a crazy drunken night on the town or enjoy 80s night at Metronome. We are very accepting of all of the things that make us "different".  We have many ladies in different age ranges, school/career paths, family situations, etc., but we focus more on the things that we have in common rather than the things that separate us.  …

There's a lack of organization in the greater Burlington area when it comes to trail running, which makes no sense. We are surrounded by beautiful trails, mountains, hills, lakes, ponds, streams, meadows, and mud puddles just asking for us to play in and around them.

Welcome to Burlington tennis meetup, the place to meet new tennis partners.  We'll schedule a summer pic-nic or two, but don't expect that there will be many general meet-ups scheduled. Instead, contact other members directly to arrange games.  When we have enough people interested in a ladder, I'll get that organized. I'm asking folks to contribute $5/yr to be a member of the group.  I hope that this will dissuade those folks who sign up for half-dozen groups only never to return, and motivate …

Hi, my name is Scott and I was recently diagnosed with PTSD. There are no groups anywhere near the Upper Valley, so I decided "why not START one?". The purpose of the group would be mostly support, socialization and nurturing healing and management of symptoms. Anyone with PTSD would benefit from a group of other like-minded people with PTSD. My goal is to simply get people connected and see where it goes from there. Maybe nothing, but maybe something awesome! Who knows! This is and will always …
