There is no place like home and having a welcoming community. I saw a void for Bi-sexual interactions and thought I'd help. While this space is open for all LGBTQ friends, I wanted to make sure that Bi could have a community that supports us and doesn't question which way we lean more towards or question if we are sure. Let's plan some virtual and actual activities and see what happens.

FREE and open to the public 1\. Fitness\, Fun and Social networking within community\. 2\. Anyone who wants to walk\, run\, all paces\! Kids and dogs welcome\! 3\. Walk/Run\, Socialize and grab drinks after we walk/run\.

Looking for new friends? Need a girl's night out? Lets get together for activities around Lake County.  We plan many activities as: Dinner, Brunch, Game board night, movies, book club, dances, Game night and many more events.

Welcome!  *No charge for Membership.*  We're about having fun, socializing, meeting new people and making new friends close to home as well as getting a closer view of our area. **What do we ask of you?** 1. Post, and keep, a recent lone self-identifiable PHOTO that clearly shows your face on your group profile - a hat & sunglasses block us from being able to identify you. How else are we to recognize and greet you at our events? We're glad you have an interest in this active social group.  It's common to be nervous about meeting new people so we find it helpful if each member creates a profile; that way event attendees can know a little about the other members of this community before meeting them. 2. In this day and age of the Internet, for personal security reasons, we strongly suggest that you use only your first name and the initial of your last name when creating your Meetup Account. We do not accept monikers or just an initial(s) on your group profile.     3) Be friendly and polite to our members. We are an active social group NOT a dating nor a singles site. Our membership community includes Individuals/Couples that are married *in addition to*  Individuals that are single. 3. Please keep in mind that we are a fun social group and are not for anyone's personal business development or marketing purposes.  Those found to be here for such purposes will be removed from this group.  5) Be sure to check the site from a desktop computer regularly, it looks a lot different. If you're only using the app, you're going to be missing out on some group/site options! 4. Inactive members are removed from this group. The whole purpose of Meetup is to actually meet up with people - isn't that why you're joining.  Showing up makes a difference. If you don't make an effort to attend our events, that's totally up to you, but eventually you will be removed from this group for "Inactivity". 5. Please play fair and come to the event you sign up for, or if plans change, change your RSVP.  Multiple "No Shows" and last minute cancellations will result in your removal from the group. 6. Remember that all of us here as organizers are unpaid volunteers. **To know what Meetup.com requires of members:**  please click on "Help" located at the bottom of the page, left hand side. We hope to meet you soon and welcome you to become part of something special that is happening on the east side! \~*The Leadership Team* Disclaimer: By signing up for the Group Events, you release Meetup organizers from any responsibility, liability, or claim in law or in equity. If you do not agree to these terms, do not join this Meet Up group. You are responsible for yourself and have voluntarily elected to participate in the events and fully accept and assume all risks and responsibilities for injury, sickness, losses and damages to persons or property that incur as a result of your participation.
