Sonoma County Zillennial plant friends

Santa Rosa, CA

Welcome to the Sonoma County Zillennial Plant Friends Meet up! This Meetup is perfect for plant enthusiasts in their 20s and 30s who are passionate about plant collecting, indoor gardening, eco-conscious practices, plant identification, and any other botanical pursuits. Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or just starting out, this group offers a community for sharing tips, trading plants, participating in workshops, and exploring the beautiful world of plants together. Join us for fun meetups, plant swaps, and discussions on all things plant-related in our lovely Sonoma County area. Let's grow together! Why just folks in their 20's and 30's? Sonoma County has many plant hobby clubs however all of them skew heavily towards the greater end of life experience folks with often rigid structure, time and financial commitments, and generally not the vibe we are going for. With the reduction of 3rd spaces and growing lack of facetime we are looking to create fun, social, comfortable environment for folks of similar life experience to share their botanical hobbies. Don't take it personally, let us do our thing.

Meet in the Middle Hikers

Santa Rosa, CA

Want to go on 9 to 12(ish) mile adventures with a group fun and easy going people/hikers from Sonoma and Marin Counties? Then this is the group for you. We will be leading different hikes from the Sonoma Coast to Marin (and maybe occasionally Napa or the East Bay) with some occasional camping and kayaking trips on the agenda. Please note we are a relatively fast paced group usually moving at a 3 mile per hour pace, unless it's really hot and the hike is really strenuous in which case we are closer to 2.5 miles/hour.

Also, please note that when you see a large # of RSVPs for a hike (i.e. 15-17) we won't actually ever have a group of that size on the day of the hike. We generally end up with between 8-12 people on our hike days. So don't be intimidated by the group size you may see on some hikes :). Also, if a hike is 'full' it is almost guaranteed that if you get on the waiting list, you'll be added before the hike as people always cancel in the week and days before a hike!

WOMEN'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

Santa Rosa, CA

**CIRCLE OF FRIENDS: WOMEN IN LIFE, LAUGHTER, AND CONVERSATION.** This is a friendship group for those who want to build relationships with positive, conscientious women. Our activities may include walks and hikes, movies, road trips, comedy, music, art, live theater, dining out, game nights, picnics. **Conversation:** Most of our activities have time built in for socializing and getting acquainted. When the weather is good, we meet at local parks for picnics, walks, music, and conversation circles. Occasionally, we have house parties which are another fun and relaxing way to make new friends. **Who is this group for?** **This group is open to all positive minded, pro-active women.** We have noticed the average age of active participants is between 40-60. Younger, and older, ladies are more than welcome to join, however, depending on your preferences, you might feel more comfortable in a meetup specifically for your age range. If you are already retired, you might find this group lacking in M-F daytime activities. Regardless, we invite you to join and become an event host for activities that suit your interests and time preferences. **EVENT HOSTS: We are always on the lookout for new leaders who have different interests and schedules so we can offer a greater variety of activities and times. Message me, Becky, if you are interested in hosting an event. All that is required is good communication (I will need your phone number) and a positive, friendly attitude.** I hope to see you at an event soon! Becky

Adults new to the spectrum (Sonoma County)

Greetings this group has just undergone a leadership change and we will be looking to promote this group both online and in person in the North Bay. We have a few topics in mind for online meetings and looking for a good central loction to hold in person/ fact to face meetings on occasion ( as people feel both the need and the safety of the moment/health situation dictates)! If you have any suggestions or ideas that you would like to be heard, please speak up and share! Medical diagnosis as a Neurodivergant is NOT mandatory, but should be indicated and fairly self diagnosed if you do not have one. ANY member of the ND community is welcome, so if ADHD, ASD, ( older DSM-4 or earlier) Aspie/Asperger is also perfectly fine. If you are not sure...ask. If you show up, be respectful and treat everyone faily and equally!

We appreciate your interest in us, but we respectfully request that you honor our membership guidelines. Thanks!)** We are all about getting together to meet new friends and connect with those we already know. Remember we were all new at one time so we know the feeling of walking into someplace where everyone knows each other except for you. We are a very welcoming and friendly group. We are about gathering with others explore all that northern California has to offer: hiking, biking, golfing, kayaking, dancing, show-going, game-watching, brunching, lunching, "wining" and dining, or just hanging out and making new friends. Our members are "up for" and "down with" almost anything that's fun and easy to access, at places that welcome 2 to 30. Lately though it has been Happy Hours in Petaluma on Wednesdays and Santa Rose or thereabouts on Fridays. Hopefully we will be getting back to some other fun things again. Don't drink? Don't worry...there are many in our group that don't drink. ***Most of all, we're about helping YOU connect with others in friendship and fun!*** **About Membership**: Your **annual dues** are **$5**. There is a 90 day free trial period. We recommend you attend a few events during that time in order to determine if you want to remain in the group before having to pay the dues. You can pay through the site or via check *(Note: If sending a check, message Kendra, the Organizer, for specific directions).* Dues help to cover our organization's dues to the national Meetup-dot-com organization, and contribute a bit to a general event fund such as the annual picnic and Holiday party. Read more about our dues when you join and create your profile. ***About Attending Gatherings:*** **To RSVP**: Just click on the event title and then click "Yes" to RSVP. **Can't attend after all?** Just return to the site and change your RSVP to "No." (Then, accept heart-felt thanks from the event Organizer for helping us to keep RSVPs realistic. No one wants to be in charge of saving 20 seats only to have 10 people show up.) **Is there an event charge?** Nope. We generally DON'T CHARGE for our events, unless there's a special requirement from the venue. We do, of course, expect you to pay your own way. **How Events Get Scheduled:** We have many event hosts that plan and post events. If you have an idea or would like to host something please contact Kendra via message. She will help you post the event and help you plan it. ***SEE YOU SOON!***
