My husband and I had our first child, Jesse, on June 23, 2010. We quickly noticed how much being a parent changes some of your friendships when your friends do not have children! We would like to meet other couples who would enjoy an occasional evening out as well as different get-togethers with the babies. We would like to keep the group limited to babies born in 2010 to first-time parents. Our hope is for all of us and our children to build long-lasting friendships with each other. Maybe somed …

We can create social events like dinners, picnics, or even camping in a French rich environment. We can organize group conversational classes for kids and teens. The sky is really the limit. I thought I would start this group to see if there was a need to organize with so many French educational institutions here in Portland. Lets …

Have you misplaced your superego? Looking to get writing or grading done, but having trouble focusing? Meet at a cafe for some quiet, focused work with others around who will notice if you get derailed on facebook. Arrive at a set time, we'll set specific, reachable writing or grading goals for the session, and get to it! This is modeled in part on the dissertation boot camps that I had in grad school, without, unfortunately, the free lunch.

On a practical level, this Portland social group is for lesbian/queer and queer-friendly women who have vitality and a strong sense of self. I say "practical" because I realize that most people use meetup casually, to meet others and find things to do from time to time. But ideally, I'd like to manifest a village of warriors. To me, a true warrior of modern times is a strong woman who has a healthy relationship with power. She speaks her truth, walks her own path, lives by principle instead of c …

Hello ladies! This is a Meetup group in their 30's and 40's who live in Portland proper and would like to make new friends while participating in fun activities. I've been a member of other Meetups and noticed that a lot of the events are held in the Beaverton/Tualatin areas. So I decided to start a group for Portland residents who prefer majority of Meetups to be held within Portland. And for those who also find that it's harder to make lasting friendships the older you get... Or those that a …
