Meet new friends groups near Hackettstown, NJ

I formed this group to create connections and new friendships with ladies in the Stroudsburg area. Consider it a safe place for coffee, tea and conversation in groups of 8. We will plan to meet weekly to start. Hope you can join! FREE

When you're young, making new friends is easy - the opportunities are everywhere! However, as an adult, it can be much more difficult. Are you a woman that ended a relationship or marriage to find out you have no close female friends anymore? Are you new to the area? Did you put all your energy for years into work or education and now want to broaden your social circle? Did you spend years focusing on having children or starting a marriage or relationship and are now missing the companionship of friendship? Do you have interests or fun things to do that you simply have no one to share with? Well, you're not alone! There are lots of women out there looking to make new friends that simply don't know where to start - so why not start here? To join this group, all you have to be is an adult female, live in the Morris/Sussex county area of NJ, and interested in meeting new friends. You don't have to be childless, looking for people to meet men with, or interested in getting together only in bars (although all those things are welcome as well). We're sure there are other people out there with similar interests or with things they want to do that other people would be interested in trying. We do ask for a yearly contribution of $5 to help offset Meetup dues and events costs. Looking for someone to take an art class, zumba class, or go to an outlet shopping center with? Post it here! You may be able to find someone with the same interest or that's willing to give yours a try! We're more than open to anyone posting ideas, or even last-minute invites to things they want to do (see a movie, try a restaurant, go to a concert) with someone to enjoy it with. Looking forward to a lot of fun!

This group is for those who want to meet new people, build their social circle, and hopefully make lasting friendships. Ideally, we'll schedule weekly or bi-weekly events that range from hiking, brunch, movie nights, board games, or anything else that people would find interesting. Want to check out that new movie but have no one to go with? Let's plan it! Have a restaurant you're dying to try but need a partner? Perfect! If you RSVP yes please change your RSVP. We know last-minute things happen, but if it takes away a spot from someone else who wanted to attend, it's not fair to the group. It's possible after a certain number of no-shows, you may be removed from the group. Specific circumstances will, of course, be considered; just message us with an explanation of why you missed the event and couldn't update your RSVP. We're not asking for personal details, just some kind of acknowledgment!

DOG HIKERS OF NEW JERSEY \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* The purpose of this group is to provide dog lovers the opportunity to hike with other dog lovers and their dogs on trails in public parks in NJ.   \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Explore and enjoy the outdoors, and make new, local friends, human and canine! Our main activity will be hiking throughout central and northern New Jersey and Rockland and Orange County in New York. This is a laid back group with easy going outings. All walks are free. All breeds of dogs are welcome. Leashes required. Social dogs only. (No aggressive dogs.) Dogs must have up to date rabies and distemper vaccinations. The safety and care of the animals and their owners cannot be guaranteed but a spay/neuter requirement will reduce the likelihood of any unwanted issues. All dogs must be spayed/neutered. Dogs must be under the owner's control at all times and be handled in compliance with all park, state, and local laws & regulations. Owners are 100% responsible for their dog's care and behavior and for complying with all regulations governing all meet-up venues. Hiking is always at your own risk. You are responsible for understanding and following all laws within the park including leash laws. You accept responsibility for the safety of yourself, your pets and any guests and their pets you invite from outside the group. Attending our hikes signifies you understand the physical challenges and agree that you, your pet and any guests and their pets are physically capable and that you will be responsible for your own and their safety. Our pace is generally about 2 miles per hour.  Some trails are hilly, some have steep slopes, some have very rocky terrain and some have difficult stream crossings. And some have various combinations of these conditions.  **Do not attend, if you are not physically ready for these conditions.** Children under 12 years of age are not allowed. Please be advised that the Organizer/Co-Organizer reserve the right to remove any members who do not abide by these or any other policies. The size of the group for a meetup is generally limited to 16 people. The reason for this is that it becomes increasingly difficult to handle the dogs with larger groups, increasing the risk of people getting knocked over and negative encounters with other hikers on the trail (imagine a horde of dogs swooping down on an unsuspecting hiker). If a meetup is full you can put your name on the waitlist and if a spot frees up due to a cancellation, you will be moved to the attending list. If you have 3 “no-shows” you will be dropped from the group. A “no-show” means that you reserved to attend but then don’t and you do not cancel your reserved spot beforehand. To allow people on the waitlist sufficient time to change plans if a spot opens up, please cancel the evening before the hike. Understandably there will be unforeseen circumstances that will prevent you from attending but this shouldn’t include waking up that morning and deciding you don’t want to go because you are too tired/hungover or you have something better to do. If you consistently cancel at the last minute, you automatically will be put on the waitlist. The courtesy of keeping your RSVP current is expected.  3 "No Shows" will result in pack membership termination.  Canceling an RSVP after the RSVP cut-off time will be treated as a "No Show".  We don't want to lose anyone so just be considerate to the other pack members hanging around waiting for you, for naught. No solicitations, please. This website is for organizing meet-ups only. .

This is a group for anyone and everyone interested in random activities, with the intentions of meeting new friends and having fun.

For the ease of identifying one another at events, we ask all members to please have a photo posted.  We will not approve a new member who doesn't have a current, recognizable photo.

Disclaimer: Your participation in any event or activity is strictly voluntary and you assume full responsibility for your own safety. Through participation, you agree not to hold any member, the group, or its leaders liable for any accidents or injuries.

No Show Policy:  Any member who RSVP's Yes to an event, and doesn't show or change their RSVP to No, is considered a "No Show".  After 3 no shows, you will be removed from the group.

This group is for people that want to come and see the band Shaky Moon perform live in the area around Hackettstown and beyond. Anyone who wants to meet new friends, loves live music and wants to have fun should join. We will be singing, dancing, drinking, eating, laughing and having FUN!

The NJ Pagan Study Group exists to serve as a way for people from seekers through advanced practice to come together. Through classes, workshops, and events, we will be able to utilize the lessons learned in live Sabbats. This group is open to everyone. We do not believe the gods want us limited to ancestral paths alone. Those people who have joy in their souls and an open mind are exactly who we are looking for. Too many these days are feeling disconnected and dejected given world circumstances, and this group is a way to meet new friends, learn new skills, and celebrate the seasons together. In this group, we will hold classes, and conduct workshops, and we will gather together for Esbats (Full Moons) and Sabbats (seasonal festivals and observances). We strive to hold our Esbats and Sabbats in person, but that will depend on COVID-19 status and/or health mandates.

Calling all Poodle & Doodle dog owners in Morris County! I’ve noticed there are so many social groups for our pups in NYC, but it’s hard to always travel into the city to befriend Poodle & Doodle owners. I’m looking for anyone who wants to hang out around Morris County with our pups, whether it’s for coffee, drinks, or play dates. I’d love to attend or create dog friendly events in the area with a group of poodle & doodle owners who are looking to make memories and friends along the way. 🫶

**ABOUT OUR CLUB: An Introduction in 6 Parts** **1 Does This Sound Like you?** You enjoy wine but have never really ventured out of your comfort zone. You spend around the same amount of money and buy pretty much the same type of wine every time you go to the store. You know what you like.... but you would love to find new wines that you'll enjoy just as much, if not more! You're not alone. As an avid wine drinker myself I' m guilty as charged. My reason: I just don't know much about a wide range of wines. I also don't want to spend money on wine that I might not enjoy. I'm completely fine with spending $15-$30 per bottle or even higher for special occasions, but I would prefer to not be guessing when I spend it! If any of this resonates with you, Morris County Wine Club is something I think you'll really enjoy like-minded people that enjoy wine and would love to venture outside of their comfort zone to learn and enjoy new types of wine. **2 When and Where We Meet** Unless scheduled otherwise the group will meet on the last Thursday of each month January through December at interesting BYOB restaurants in the Morris County area. During the months of November and December meetups will take place only if there is sufficient interest. **3 What to bring** Your entry fee to our club and to our meetups is simple. Purchase and bring with you a $15-25 bottle of wine that you normally wouldn't buy for yourself, but you're interested in trying and sharing with the group. All attendees to the meetup are also required to chip-in $1.00 so we can pay Meetup.com's fee for having this group on their website. **4 What to expect** We will be setting up stations for tasting the wines. At most events members will order their own food from the hosting establishment, which will be a BYOB restaurant. Menu variety and minimal order requirements, as well as payment options are at the discretion of the hosting establishment. As we choose different BYOB restaurants and cuisines from month to month this provides a wonderful opportunity to experiment with wine pairings. Meet people, taste new wines, enjoy yourself. That's it!! **5 Your RSVP Is Very Important!** **Take your RSVPs seriously! We do!**  When there is a wait list you are taking what could have been someone else's spot, and restaurants rely on having an accurate customer count. So out of courtesy please have your RSVP up to date within 24 hours of the meetup. Cancelling with less than 24 hours notice is counted as a No Show. Two of more No Shows and your membership may be cancelled.  If an event has a Wait List, members with previous No Shows will be bumped to the Wait List in favor of members who have always honored their RSVPs in the past. Attending an event without an RSVP per these guidelines is unacceptable and could subject you to immediate expulsion. **6 How to Join** * **1 Read all of the sections above and below this line.** These sections will later be referred to collectively as the "About" introduction. * **2 Provide a recognizable full-face photograph of yourself and only yourself**. You may have to update your Meetup.com profile photo to do this. The photo must center at your head and shoulders. This centering will place your face in the center of our circular photo icons. No sunglasses, no masks, no face shields, no goggles, nor anything else obscuring your face. Beards and mustaches are acceptable only if you are currently wearing the beard and/or mustache shown in the photo. Photos where you are too far away to be recognized are also unacceptable. Think license and passport photo! * **3 Answer our Questions.** After you join or login to Meetup and make a request to join this group (by clicking on the "Request to Join button"), there will be a pop-up dialogue box with five questions. You must answer "Yes" or "No" as appropriate to questions 2, 3, 4 and 5. A group like ours will only work if everyone is on the same page, follows the rules and treats their fellow members and restaurant staff with courtesy. Only those who provide a proper profile photo and can agree to our conditions and signify that agreement by answering "Yes" to questions 2, 3, 4, and 5 will have their request to join accepted. Also, take notice that each time you attend a meetup you are agreeing to hold the Morris County Wine Club's Hosts, and its Organizers harmless from all liability for injury to yourself caused by others, or injury to others alleged to have been caused by you. Hosts and Organizers refers to fellow club members who participated in the planning and/or functioning of the meetup event including its posting and announcing.
