A no-fee group that simply lets people to get together and have great conversations and positive interactions. There is enough negativity around and enough to worry about. How about we take time out of our busy schedules to meet people and just enjoy a cup of Joe or have a conversation. Every person has a personality. Why not try to get to know some people you might enjoy being around. We're freeform- the group lets you make what you want of it. There are enough groups that address specific interests. This one is about meeting and having meaningful, engaging conversations or activities with people like you. People's biggest hesitation seems to be - how do I just go by myself with a bunch of strangers I don't know? Trust me - everyone goes through that anxiety to put oneself out there like that and meet strangers. If you feel that way, you're not alone. But the best way to get through it is to make it to that first meetup of yours. After that you won't feel a sense of not belonging and being an outsider. Go to one meetup and decide for yourself what your comfort level is and whether the group/people are something that you want to socialize it. You won't know until you try it out and it never hurts to try!! So go for it that ONE time if nothing else. You've got nothing to lose, and this group doesn't charge money so its free anyhow. What kinds of things do we plan on doing as part of this group? Here are a few ideas: For the foodies - breakfasts, lunches, dinners For the movie buffs - enjoy a good movie or a double feature! For the bar hoppers - some work weeks are crappy and some are not. All work weeks end on a Friday. Get the idea? :-) For the conversationalists - discuss a book, discuss a philosophy, discuss whatever you want under the sun (or moon) For the nature lovers - lets do brunches and hikes, bike rides ... more A few tips: 1) When signing up tell us a little bit about yourself. People who join the group like to know what other members are like so a brief introduction about who you are and what you're looking for (about 2 sentences in all) helps 2) Make sure you take our polls. This is your chance to tell us what you want from this group! This is a start and this is your opportunity - so lets meet
Come and meet other fun people and enjoy some exercise too. All levels from beginning to advanced are welcome. We will enjoy weekly hikes in various locations. Although are main emphasis is on hiking we also schedule other activities for fun and exercise. Such as biking, climbing, kayaking, bowling, roller skating, and snow tubing. Various trips to local botanicial gardens, zoos, caves, and historical houses are also planned.
It's hard to find others in their 20s who want to be active and explore the city around them. Dayton, Ohio is a small city in comparison to it's neighbors, like Cincinnati and Columbus, but there is much to do and see if you know where to look. What would make it even better is finding other people in the same city who feel the same.
Anyone looking to find new friends, drinking buddies, shopping partners, video and board game lovers, book readers, hiking partners, movie lovers, live music finders, concert buddies, or just some new people to hang out with in the age group of 21-29 and their significant others, feel free to join and enjoy life in your city!
Our purpose is to establish positive new friends! Singles of all ages are welcome. Singles with children of all ages are welcome. We will enjoy a variety of activities with children involved and activities appropriate for adults only. Come out and MEETUP! Please share your suggestions for meetup events. This is really important so we all have a say so in the group and everyone gets to enjoy a variety of fun. **Note: The group organizer pays a monthly fee to meetup.com to keep the group online. There is an occassional small fee for some of the meetups to offset the organizer's expense. Thank You for supporting us.
(NOTE: This Meetup is not a subsidiary of Parents without Partners, or any other singles group, although any members of these groups are welcome to join us)

This group is for ALL people who want to eat better, feel better, be healthier, live more compassionately and support a healthy planet with environmentally sound food choices.
We welcome all vegans and Vegetarians (non-vegans are definitely welcome !) ..... whether already vegan or aspiring to get there "some day" ...or just curious about a more comassionate, healthy way of living - you should join us!! If you want to meet other fun, kind, compassionate and health conscious people - this is the group for you.
The focus of this group is to promote a vegan lifestyle - therefore all food consumed during events will be vegan. But, we will NOT judge or pressure anyone because they are not vegan. We want to give informative support and kindness - we know that each individual must make their own journey in their own way.
Our goal is to have fun together and make new friends while leading a cruelty-free lifestyle. We meet at local restaurants or other venues to eat, but will also plan educational, cooking and activist events as well. We exist to support our members in their efforts to live a more compassionate, healthy, ecologically sound lifestyle and to build a strong community of people who share these values in the Dayton area.
Vegans do not eat or wear animal products such as animal flesh, dairy, eggs, leather or wool. Honey is not technically vegan, but many otherwise vegan people eat it. Being vegan is not as hard as it sounds and it has many advantages for your health, for the animals (ESPECIALLY Cows and chickens), and for the environment.
Information on veganism and resources for vegan living can be found in our Vegan Resources page / in the Message Board.
Also... there is no required membership fee.... but Donations are definitely welcome - used to help cover yearly expenses from the Meetup.com website provider.

Absolutely wonderful! I had such a great time ,and can not wait until next week. I can honestly say I wish there was more than just one meeting a week! I went alone today, and was able to meet a lot of new people, all very nice and energetic. The place was breathing like it was living with the dancing, chatter, and laughter! Made lots of new friends, and cant wait to come back. I am really looking forward to bringing everyone I know! Also, dont eat before you come. The food there is fantastic! Just looking at the menu will make you come back to try every thing once. I met the chef and she was awesome, as well as the very pleasant bar tender. They both really helped make the atmosphere. Dancing is aways fun, but with the proper instruction it only gets better! I learned things I didnt know, and improved drastically on the things I did. It Wows me on how easy it is to pick up what the instructors lay down step by step. Just had a really great time with great people!

We offer just about any type of activity you can think of - in home play dates, playground fun, mom's night out - you name it!
Our members live all over the Dayton area from Troy and Tipp City to Waynesville and Franklin and everywhere in between. We know it's difficult to attend events when the little ones need to nap, so we offer a wide range of times and locations.

Welcome to
The Dayton Creative Glamour Lighting & Photography Group
The Home of Southwest Ohio's Photographers and Models!
If photography or modeling is your passion, here is your chance to grow. Our group is the meeting spot for local artist just like you. We have frequent meetings such as:
Portfolio building shooting events
Networking monthly meets
With that said,
Welcome professionals and enthusiasts as well.
I have been studying the Law of Attraction for a few years now and would like to have a group of like-minded people to learn, share, and experience with. Since the group is called "LOA in ACTION", I thought it would also be nice to set goals, support each other in them, and serve as accountability partners. Oh yeah... and have fun doing it too!!!
I recently got Joe Vitale's program "The Secret to Attracting Money." Since this seems to be a universal topic, I thought we could use the first several meetups to explore this program. Who couldn't use some more money??? But it's really about so much MORE than money too...
Please free to contact me with any questions, comments, or just to say "hi". I'm excited to start attracting the perfect people for our group!
Ready, set, ATTRACT! :)
This group is for people interested in socializing, being active, and generally doing more with their dogs. We plan and attend a variety of events in and around the Dayton area for dogs and their people. If this sounds interesting, click on "Pages" for more info.

Nourishing Connections
The Dayton Chapter of The Weston A. Price Foundation
Nourishing the connections between our communities,
traditional foods, and holistic health care
_____________________________________________________________________
We are members of The Weston A. Price Foundation http://westonaprice.org
Our local Weston A. Price chapter web site can be found at: http://daytonoh.westonaprice.org
The Weston A Price Foundation (WAPF) is a foundation set up to support a healthy diet in many ways. Since it was established in 1999, many local chapters have formed to educate and support people on a local level. See our 'About' page to read about the nutritional philosophy that guides these meetings. The national website has much valuable information to offer.
Joining the WAPF is one major way we can cast our vote for our own health.
______________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this Meetup is to help people:
• learn to prepare a variety of "traditional recipes" from the Nourishing Traditions Cookbook, or similar cookbooks, in a way that helps people avoid feeling overwhelmed with the information.
• become acquainted with the principles and philosophy of the "traditional diet", ie, back-to-real-food, in a gradual and manageable way. This process can include attending meeting discussions and demonstrations, reading and listening to WAPF material, joining the WAPF to receive the Wise Traditions Journal, searching the WAPF website, and attending WAPF Conferences.
• support family farms through a dialogue with farmers and growers, which creates a mutually beneficial cooperative working relationship. Meetings offer a time for this dialogue, which can then ideally continue at the Farmers' Markets, CSA's, individual farms, etc.
• learn where to access quality foods, from vegetables to meats and dairy.
• network with other people seeking to eat a traditional diet, and find support for issues that are personally challenging or interesting.

Where can I find raw milk?
http://www.realmilk.com for starters.
The Liberty market of Kettering:
Promotes Ohio 's raw milkshare herd program by offering herd shares from 4 trusted farms.
They also have whole grains, organic beans, lentils, free-ranged chemical-free, non-GMO eggs and produce comparable to major chains and many times cheaper. They offer local produce when possible (usually higher price than corporate but we believe better quality). They have stevia, coconut oil, organic spices, and of course a selection of natural sugar including local raw honey and local maple syrup.

This group is for people who wish to learn about and do more with Ohio's Buckeye Trail. For over 1,440 miles, the Buckeye Trail winds around Ohio, reaching into every corner of the state. From a beachhead on Lake Erie near Cleveland, to a hilltop overlooking the Ohio River in Cincinnati, a hiker can experience a little of all that Ohio has to offer. The Buckeye Trail is the longest circular trail in the nation.
This group is open to all Buckeye Trail enthusiasts whether you live in Ohio or not or whether you are an avid hiker or not. All are welcome.
The Buckeye Trail is identified by blue blazes, 2" wide by 6" high, on trees or poles. The trail is maintained and managed by the Buckeye Trail Association a non-profit volunteer organization.
The Buckeye Trail and the North Country Trail share the same path for over 800 miles. The North Country Trail is America's longest National Scenic Trail stretching 4,600 miles from New York to North Dakota. The American Discovery Trail follows the Buckeye Trail for most of its route through Ohio. While the Buckeye Trail is primarily a foot trail parts of the Buckeye Trail can be explored by bicycle, horse and car.
The Buckeye Trail needs your support! You can help the Buckeye Trail by hiking it, organizing hiking trips on it, getting involved in trail crew outings and donating to the Buckeye Trail Association .
Membership in the Buckeye Trail Association not required but recommended. If you wish to learn more or join the Buckeye Trail Association visit www.buckeyetrail.org. The Buckeye Trail Association is an Ohio non profit, 501(c), organization.

We are a group for young professionals in the Dayton area region. We have started this group so that those in between 25 and 39 years of age can socialize and network with other young working professionals in the Dayton area. That being said, if you are not specifically within the age range of the group, you will not be automatically disallowed into the group, but we are looking to keep it mainly as requested for the benefit of the group. So if you are a little younger or older than what is it in the title, please feel free to let us know if you feel this is the group for you.
We are looking to network and interact with 20 and 30-something professionals in the Dayton area. People in this group will likely hold an undergraduate degree at a minimum.

We want to be able to mingle, socialize, and network with like minded people who have similar backgrounds and goals in common. Besides just having good old fun, our group will enable tremendous networking in a casual face to face setting for you to be able to make friends and develop local contacts that can help you personally and professionally.

For people needing to meet and connect with other singles for wine tastings, coffee houses, games, walks, and conversation. what do singles do..
This is maybe a combination want a be Sienfield and Friends group.
I am thinking this is sort of like "Seinfield" the tv show which was kind of about nothing.
Kind of about just being there and meeting some friends. connecting with one person and then another each time we go to a event.
Thinking about how on the show, "Friends" the people were just sitting around some place drinking some coffees or teas at the start of the show, what ever place it was a coffee shop of cafe....
I hope this group is a connection for us to start meeting more friends.
Mature friends that have some class, act sort of professional, have some standards, some good qualities that each of us wants in each other and has some respect for each other. Maybe that is too much, but maybe just passing the time with some friends making some laughs.

If you want to sharpen your ear, so you can hear a chord as well as playing it, go to this site and click on the graphic of the chord. Bing! The chord plays! Then -- Bing bing bing bing -- depending on how many strings are compressed.

To get a variety of written-out songs uploaded by our members, do this:
The menu listing at the top of the Meetup page for the group has an option titled "More." Running your cursor over that gives a drop-down menu that includes "Files." Click on Files and look at the list. Lary Eaton's booklet, recently updated, may be printed out. It will give you a "free" copy of one of the songbooks we use at our meetings.
The page also has all the other songs people have brought in and shared, listed in alphabetical order, to date. Clicking on a song title will open a pdf of the song sheet that should be printable.
If you want to upload a song for everyone to play, this is where you would do that. Please alert everyone several days before the meeting, or just print a dozen or so copies, and distribute them when we all get together (sticking with the book can get boring!).
Our Current Location:

The purpose of this parenting group is to support and encourage parents who are alone in their challenge to raise healthy youngsters, and to deliberately move their children from parental control to self-control while remaining healthy, and happy themselves.

We gather together monthly to do kirtan (pronounced keer' tahn). Kirtan is group "call & response" devotional chanting. The chants are easy to learn. Our sessions are fun and informal. No previous experience is necessary. We meet on the first Saturday of each month for kirtan, and the third Saturday of the month for satsang. We have also been doing some simple devotional circle dances to begin kirtan.
This group is to help "young" people (mostly, we're concerned
with making sure we network with like-minded individuals, who are
trying to balance life, work, extracurriculars, and love) who are
interested in polyamory, or are currently living in any of the
possible poly dynamics, to find friends who can relate to the
unique problems faced by this lifestyle. We are focusing on
the Dayton and Cincinnati areas.
We intend to have potlucks at private homes, meetups at
restaurants, and gatherings at public social events—at least
for starters—and are open to suggestions.
There's no one right way to be poly, and no such thing as a
perfect poly relationship. However, we believe and want to foster
the idea that, with full, open communication and compersion,
long-term, sustainable poly relationships can thrive. Having
community support helps, too... and that's what we want to
cultivate.
We look forward to meeting everyone soon!
I am the Director for the Dorothy Lane Market School of Cooking and a volunteer chef at the Fraternal Order of Eagles. I just simply love cooking! Hoping to connect with people who share the same passion. My thought is that we would host meetups at our homes or an off-site venue and cook together, sharing recipes and techniques along the way. The host could select the menu and then divvy out the shopping list or costs so it would be very economical.
This group is for those that enjoy a good game of cards and do not mind having fun in the process of seeing how your game is. Texas Hold Em is the game that will normally be played, but we will spead other games if there is enough interest. Hope to see you at the felt!

This is a group for adults who, for whatever reason, do not have children. Whether you are single, married, a couple or none of the above, you are welcome to join. As a married woman who has made the choice to not have kids, I have found myself ostracized from friends cook-outs, dinners, etc for the simple crime of "not being a mother". I love children, but for several reasons, have decided to not breed. I am hoping this group will do a variety of activities, from dinner to book clubs and everything in between!

When the mind is at peace, there arises a kind of calm, joyous and powerful consciousness, which is different from the ordinary, everyday consciousness. It is vast and endless, full of calmness, rest, happiness, joy, power and invincibility. It is a sort of an altered state of consciousness, which is not a a state of trance or lack of awareness of the earthly plane. It is an awareness that encompasses both the earthly and spiritual planes.
This meetup is for open discussions among seekers.
Private sessions are available for a nominal fee. Email me for an appointment.

I own a 1-year old female, Am Staff I rescued from a bully breed rescue in Dayton (luv-a-bulls rescue).

Lifelong learning is the continuous building of skills and knowledge throughout the life of an individual. It occurs through experiences encountered in the course of a lifetime. These experiences could be formal (training, counseling, tutoring, mentorship, apprenticeship, higher education, etc.) or informal (experiences, situations, etc.) Lifelong learning, also known as
LLL, is the "lifelong, voluntary, and self-motivated"
pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. As such, it not only enhances social inclusion, active citizenship and personal development, but also competitiveness and employability. (Thanks
Wikipedia)
The Life Long Learners meetup group is here for those individuals, couples or families who find learning enjoyable, dare we say even "recreational".

Science & Mathematics
Ancient & Modern History
Fine Arts & Music, Religion & Theology
Philosophy & Intellectual History
Business & Economics
Environmental Living
You can see our complete library listing
here.
When joining our group we ask for a picture to be uploaded as well. This picture should be of just you. This helps keep our group connected and maintain a sense of security, especially given that we meet in the private homes of our members. We understand that some individuals may not be comfortable with uploading such a photograph. We ask that those folks also understand our members may not be willing to have unidentifiable strangers in their homes.
We look forward to meeting you!
Here I am hoping to unite all or most of the civilized pot smoking citizens and work together for the legalization of marijuana.

If you agree that marijuana is non harmful when used in moderation and want your voice to be heard, please come to the meetings and show your support. Never be afraid of standing up for what you believe in.

Group Mission & Idea
This group was started on the foundation of bringing people together to help expand social networks of adults, young adults, and kids who work and play in the Northern Miami Valley area. The focus is to try to do this by playing board games with one another where teams are luck of the draw and in the end some one wins and some one loses, but, playing the games is the fun part.
Who's in the Group?
The group will be made up of people of all ages. In addition, if you enjoy playing board games, but, can never find friends and family who are willing to play, well, then you've found a group for you.
With all the above in mind, you should join simply to enjoy other people's company and in addition start to make new friends. The main idea is to play games that may not take a whole lot of brain power and allow all to relax and enjoy after a long week's work at work, school, or home.
Games... (list can expand)
Games that will be played include:
Say Anything Taboo Scattergories
Catchphrase Apples to Apples Euchre
Spoons (card game) Pictionary
Guesstures Balderdash, etc.
When are the Meetup's?
The main set of games that will be played will only be played for 45 min to 1 hour each. We will play 2 games at each meetup. Game days will all start at 1:30pm with the final game ending at latest 3:30pm. The main meetup location/venue right now is Night Sky in Troy, OH. The first meetup is January 14, 2012. Meetups will continue on a weekly basis at Night Sky all year.
How to Join
Membership is open on Meetup.com. Please answer questions on the Meetup.com website page and create a profile so people can come to know more about you. This way the group can meet you and you them. Please post a picture of yourself so we all know who to look for. As much fun as it is looking at your cat or dog, we'd like to see you too. Also, read any privacy materials presented by Meetup.com such that you are comfortable with what other members our outside on-lookers can see.

This group is intended for individuals sharing a few basic ideals and some simple beliefs about Peak Oil. To clarify, members of this group should inherently believe the following statements about Peak Oil are true:
1. Peak Oil is real.
2. Peak Oil is imminent.
3. Peak Oil will directly affect our jobs, our social habits, our economies, our food supplies, our lifestyles, and our societies.
If you share these beliefs, and want to join a community of individuals sharing ideas and working together to prepare for the future, please join us. This community will engage in regularly scheduled conversations, each of which will focus in on a specific topic related to Peak Oil. The first scheduled "Meetup" is coming soon.
This is a fledgling community. Let's grow and improve this group together!
Over the last several years, water sports has grown substantially compared to just 4 years ago. Numerous paddling enthusiasts have joined the ranks and participated in paddling events all around Ohio. Paddle Ohio, Columbus Stand Up Paddle, Tri-State Kayakers, Northeast Ohio Kayakers, Dayton Area Canoe and Kayak, Cincinnati Natural Waters Explorers and Kayak Ohio are just a few of the many groups that have sprung up since 2008. Kayak Ohio, also known by a few other names, has for the most part been a private group with several dozen members that paddle on a regular basis. Compared to its counterparts, it remains one of the most active paddling groups in Ohio, paddling about two dozen rivers and creeks on a regular basis and paddling almost every weekend. It has always strived to not only introduce members to new paddling destinations, but to educate paddlers about the do's and don'ts of paddling moving water and how to plan the perfect paddling trip based on river and weather forecasting. Many of our destinations include trips you simply wont find with other paddling groups.
The "Revival" was created partly to help find a few new members that enjoy paddling on a regular basis, (once a month or more) but also to share some of the memories of past events. Some of you in the paddling community know my father Randall. He has been paddling for over 40 years and has lots of experience and knowledge about many great paddling destinations. Join the both of us as we explore rivers, creeks, lakes and reservoirs all around Ohio, some of which you might be familiar with and others which are located in some of the most areas of Ohio. Most Meetup events will be targeted towards the avid paddler with an emphasis on a small group atmosphere. We paddle all year round and in almost any kind of weather. We plan to explore quite a few new rivers, creeks and reservoirs in 2012. Whether you are new to paddling, a leisure, fair weather paddler like myself, or an avid, tried and true explorer by nature, like my father, you will most certainly enjoy our group. Below is a list of our traditional paddling destinations we plan to paddle in 2012, including a list of new destinations we plan to explore.
Traditional Destinations for the 2012 Season; Clear Fork River, Black Fork River, Mohican River, Tuscarawas River, Blanchard River, Hocking River, Licking River, Olentangy River, Grand River, Walhonding River, Muskingum River, Kokosing River, Sandusky River, Great Miami River, Little Miami River, Mad River, Stillwater River, Rattlesnake Creek, Paint Creek, Rocky Fork Creek, Deer Creek, Alum Creek, Big Darby Creek, Big Walnut Creek, Walnut Creek, Whetstone Creek, Buck Creek and Todds Fork.

This group announces Compassionate Communication classes and events in the Dayton area. Compassionate Communication is an approach to listening and speaking which helps us create more harmony in our interactions at home, work, anywhere. As a result, we're able to have more honest conversations-- without blaming and criticising others or ourselves. We're able to get to the heart of a matter in a way that inspires trust and understanding, able to navigate our differences more easily, and if conflict occurs, able to resolve it peacefully. It is also known as Nonviolent Communication or NVC, developed by internationally known peacemaker and mediator, Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD.

It's not our destination in life that counts, but our JOURNEY. This group is about helping women to access their unique, God-given potential and to live abundant lives through fellowship, learning and community. Each month, beginning in February 2012, we will read a new book on topics pertaining to personal growth and development. The books we select for this group will be accessible, uplifting and empowering. We hope that our lives will be transformed by God in amazing ways as we explore the concepts of Biblical freedom and joy in an easy-to-approach, inviting, non-judgmental format. This is an interdenominational, open group for women seeking to develop new friendships and tools for activating greater joy and purpose in their lives. No matter who we are or where we're from, life can be really challenging. Our goal is to help women access more inspired and peaceful moments in their daily lives, with support from a network of women with diverse experiences and backgrounds. This is group is especially created for thirty- and forty-something women, but all ages are welcome!
