Meet new friends groups near California, PA

I wanted to create a group to establish 2 goals; to network and meet new friends! As a self-employed childless woman in her 40s, I find it incredibly difficult to make friends! While I find the concept of local business networking groups to be a valuable one, the structure and formality is not for me! I'd rather get to know people in a setting where it's a little bit of fun, a little bit of business! We will meet at varying locations once a month. Each meetup would be a different member's time to shine! Plan a short presentation about your business but also a fun activity (related to your business or not). No dues but any costs associated with the activities are up to each individual. Only one member from each industry.

We invite you to share your spirit guided experiences. You have a local community available to you all the time to strengthen your confidence and give you support. This meetup group is for communicating and sharing your experiences with a receptive audience that doesn’t doubt you and is eager to hear. It is an important part of developing a confidence in leading a spirit guided life. We are not intended to enter this world alone and don’t have to. You can have support and I encourage you to allow yourself to have that support. You’ll experience natural enthusiasm and excitement which is an important tool for your success.

Whether you're just beginning to tap into your intuition or are already living in the flow, six sensory meet up offers a wealth of inspiration that will enable you to engage more deeply with your inner Spirit, your authentic Self, and live a more rewarding, fearless, and inspirational life.

Hi All, I'm moving to Upper Saint Clair at the end of June 2023 and figured I would start a Meetup for people new in town.

Storkbites is for new moms and their baby under a year old. The next session will start on November 12th and continue on Tuesdays through December 17th. Meetings are from 10 am to 12 noon on Tuesdays. Meetings are held at Mt Lebanon United Methodist Church at [3319 West Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA. 15216](https://goo.gl/maps/g0ztD "Google Maps: Mount Lebanon United Methodist Church") Storkbites got started in 2003, meeting in Moon Township. During COVID Storkbites was offered on Zoom. We're back to meeting in person again and now in our new location in Mt Lebanon. Storkbites is a place for new moms to meet and talk about all the ways their lives have changed. Each group for 6 weeks, then we take a break, and start a new group, usually at the start of the odd months (January, March, May, etc) Topics we touch on are the many changes in your body, emotions, sleep, financial circumstances, family relationships; your relationship with your partner; self care; babywearing; pediatric visits; postpartum depression/anxiety; your labor and delivery experience; and a final session focusing on what's next for you (return to work, staying at home full time, if and when you'd like to have another baby.) Storkbites is a place to find friendship. You have the opportunity to learn from each other. This is a volunteer effort--there is no charge and we are not selling anything. All participants should be free of illness. If you are interested in joining a group, you can either send an email to storkbitespa@gmail.com or text me at 412-445-3123 You can also see us on Facebook at [https://www.facebook.com/groups/storkbitesmoms/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/storkbitesmoms/)

\*Please note that, while we appreciate continued interest in the group, we are not accepting new members at this time. We will review new member join requests again in 2025.\* This group is for folks who want to get out and about and enjoy the fresh air and scenery on the beautiful trails and in the parks near the Mon Valley area, such as Mingo Creek County Park, Cedar Creek, the Laurel Highlands, and other trails in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. We enjoy biking the GAP and host a variety of short and long, always casual, rides along many of the stretches of the GAP. We also like to venture out to other trails for some day-long and overnight scenic trips.  In addition to bicycling, we take to hiking (at a *sauntering pace*), kayaking, camping, star-gazing and other activities, and try to work in some ice skating in the winter. We are always looking for fun, active events to round out the year, so if there's something you like to do and want company, please feel free to suggest it! We are a casual, genial group looking to enjoy the aesthetics of nature - our aim is not to build cardio or endurance, though if those happen, then we are better for it! We stop to snack, eat lunch, take pictures, marvel at natural beauty - and chat a lot along the way. We also host a few other activities that keep us connected, esp through winter months. Next, some business: It is important to our hosts and members to recognize and address members when at events. Please note that, for your request to be approved, your profile needs a name (anything gimmicky is a deterrent) and photo of you that makes you recognizable to our hosts - obscured or hidden faces, pictures that feature more than 1 person (we don't know which person is you), scenic shots (regardless of how great the photography is) etc. are not recommended. Your profile picture for this group can be different from your picture for other groups or your main Meetup profile. If you do not get approved, this is likely the reason. I will also remove inactive members and those who no longer have profile pictures. Also, please be respectful of hosts - • Change your RSVP if you can't attend, especially if the host is being charged any kind of fee. • Refrain from "hijacking" someone's posted event. • On overnight trips, be considerate of group members before inviting non-members to spend the night - please discuss with host in advance. We look forward to seeing you! Diane Marie

Group for 40+ years old singles (divorced, widowers or never married) to make new friends in the Pittsburgh South Hills area.  We plan to meet for drinks, dinners, music and dancing, festivals, and other fun events. Sometimes it's hard to meet new people, especially as you get older, and I want this to be an opportunity for people to meet and find others with common interests. There may be pictures from events posted online. If you don't want in a picture, just let them know. Please no harassment or political fighting or any controversial postings. Let's just all be nice to each other and be responsible adults.

To share our passion of good books, socialize, meet new people, and participate in some healthy discussions! Every Third Saturday of the month. 12 noon to about 2:30 p.m. Al's Cafe.

Hello everyone my name is Dawn. I am recently retired but would like to stay active. Therefore, I have created this Meetup group for folks that are 60+ who would enjoy weekday morning walks, breakfasts, brunches, lunches and even a happy hour thrown in from time to time. The main goal of this social group is for all of us 'baby boomers' to stay active, have fun, meet some great people and build new friendships. These events will primarily take place on weekdays in an around the South Hills area consisting of Bethel Park, South Park, Pleasant Hills, Mt. Lebanon, McMurray even the South Side & Waterfront. Members must have a clear picture of your face and a completed profile to join. Also, please be mindful and remember to remove yourself from the 'Going' list if your plans change and you cannot attend. Thanks for joining the group...now let's go and have some fun!!!

We are a group of persons whose sudden lose of their husband, wife, or partner has made a profound change in the journey of life. How will we go forward? How do we financially adjust? How do we now look to our future? All loss is significant but navigating after losing your life's partner can be scary and confusing. Im starting this group because there are so few local resources for persons going through such a difficult journey. Support, connection, sharing our journeys is an important part of the process and we can help each other. Each meet we will share our stories, what our partners contributed to us, and why at times our grief can be confusing. I look forward to new beginnings with this group and forge wonderful connections

Thought it would be a good idea to start a book club in the West Hills (mainly). We'll meet each month for dinner and to discuss the book at hand. All genres will be explored. I will generally pick the book, but suggestions are always welcomed (for the book and/or the place). You will be responsible for getting the selection. All selections will be available via audio. Feel free to come to the meeting, even if you have not read the book. In that case, there will be spoilers. Especially this first meeting d/t short notice (still with the spoilers). All but one meeting in 2024 will be the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30PM at various locations. Let's get it going. Hope to see you there!

Do you ever want to go to the movies, but not alone? If so, let's get-together. The goal is to see 1 movie a month with eatery afterwards. This way, we can discuss the movie's pros and cons. Plan is to see an early movie (matinee) and then an early bit to eat. The genre will be varied, as will the theater. Also, will try to schedule on bargain days, but that may not always be possible. Thanks for your interest and joining me into a new adventure!

This is a meetup group for **WOMEN ONLY** living in the South Hills area, or anywhere in Pittsburgh. We are young, or older - single, married, divorced or widowed.  The point is to get together and have a great time. This is actually a book club, despite the name. We will meet at a South Hills restaurant, (generally the third Saturday of the month) to discuss that month's book. Genre's will vary. We will be doing other things throughout the year, such as a summer picnic, etc. If this sounds like something you would enjoy, please consider joining --- but women only.  Thank you.

Not your usual book club! Instead of trying to organize everyone reading the same book, we'll meet for breakfast and discuss the book we're currently reading. What fun! Come with us to get book reviews and learn what to read and what to skip. All genres welcome. We'll meet at Denny's on Route 30 in Irwin.

Ever notice how there are so many meetup groups for dog lovers and opportunities for their dogs to socialize? Why not a place for cat lovers and their cats to meet at parks and elsewhere? This group is for all cat lovers and cats.
