Scranton Area Moms of Munchkins (MOMs) is an in-person playgroup for mothers and their children in the greater Scranton area of Northeast Pennsylvania. Our mission is to connect mothers from various backgrounds and provide them an opportunity to meet new people, make playmates for their children and garner support from a diverse group of women. *PLEASE NOTE: If you have requested to join our group, you will be contacted through Meetup Messages. Please be sure to check your messages regularly. We strive to respond to membership requests within 48 hours. If you do not respond to our initial welcome Meetup message within two weeks, your membership will be declined. You can always request to re-join us whenever you are ready! This helps to keep our records current and helps us focus on reaching out to members truly interested in joining our active group of moms! You can always email us any time at scrantonmomsofmunchkins@gmail.com if you have been trying to respond to us via meetup and have been unsuccessful. :)* Welcome to the Scranton Moms of Munchkins (MOMS)! If you are looking to make friends for you and your child, you're in the right place. We are an active, in-person meetup group and we are eager to meet you!  This group is mainly geared for Moms with kids newborn through age 5. Most of our events are held during the week within 15 miles of Scranton. We welcome all types of moms - stay at home, work form home, working full or part time, etc! We also offer Moms Night Outs/Ins, movie nights, and family fun dates. We are here to meet other moms for friendship, advice, laughs, and most of all, support.  We would have to have you join us! What are you waiting for? Click the "join us" button to get started! If you need further information or assistance, please contact Scranton MOMS president, Cadee, at scrantonmomsofmunchkins@gmail.com. **\*\*\* FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS \*\*\*** **Who can join Scranton Area Moms of Munchkins?** We welcome any mother who has the time and desire to attend an active playgroup. The group is geared for SAHM, WAHM and PT working moms with kids ages 7 and under. Currently the group is comprised of primarily infants, toddlers and preschoolers and the majority of activities take place during school hours. **Currently, we do not accept fathers or caregivers to the group as the primary member. We are for moms of little ones ONLY! We do have family events periodically where family members are invited to attend. At this time, Dads, Nannys, Grandparents, etc. can not bring little ones to play dates in place of moms and are not to attend events unless the event is designated a "family event". The group was formed to allow moms an opportunity to develop a support network while providing social interaction for their child(ren).** **How old are the children in your group?** Typically, the littles in our group range from newborn through 7 years old. We do not require you to leave the group when your children are older; however it usually becomes harder for moms to attend meetups when their kids are busy in school and school-related events! **Due to this, we ask that NEW members to the group have children aged 5 or under** (mixed ages in a family are fine! As long as one of your children is 5 or under). **If your child(ren) are ONLY over age 5, your membership request will be declined.** Some of our events are understandably geared to a certain age group (infant playgroup, early walker playdates, etc). The event description on our calendar will designate if their is an intended audience or age range for that specific event. **How do I join you group?** When you request to join our group, please make sure that you have a complete meetup profile, following the instructions provided to you. We require a clear picture of you in the profile, your first and last name, and the names of your little ones/ages. This helps us to identify you at meetups and also ensures the safety of our members and their little ones, so that we know who we are meeting! After you request to join us on meetup, we will contact you via MEETUP MESSAGES. This is a function within meetup. A notification may come to your email, but please check you spam folder. You will then be directed to email us to exchange information and review our policies. After that, we arrange to meet you and your little one(s) at a playdate at a public place. If you wish to join our group, we will then approve you on Meetup and you will have full access to the group website to RSVP for events! You will have a 14-day free trial to try out the group. At the end of your free trial, you will need to pay the annual dues to remain in the group. **Is there a fee to join this group?** Membership Dues are $25 a year, which includes a mom and her children. Dues are required to be paid during the two week trial period if you wish to remain in the group. If you do not pay your dues within this two week time frame, you are moved back to "pending" and then have one week to pay them on Meetup or you will be removed from the group. Dues are renewable every year on your original joining date. Occasionally a playdate will have a fee for attendance (trampoline park, Lakeland orchard etc) but most of the events are completely free. **What types of events does your group schedule?** The group schedules playgroups at local parks and member’s homes, craft days, holiday parties, mom’s nights in/out, family play dates, and more. Organizers are always looking for new ideas and suggestions for future events so feel free to make suggestions! And as soon as you're a member- YOU can host your own events too :) **Where/when do the events take place?** The group meets in Scranton and surrounding areas, typically within a 10/15 mile radius of Scranton. Please be aware of this if you live outside of the greater Scranton area. We have members from Wilkes Barre, The Back Mountain, Tunkhannock and The North Pocono area; just be aware that events are held local to Scranton if driving will affect your attendance. The organizers try to vary the locations, and choose centrally located venues, to allow for greater attendance. The majority of our events occur during the week. We do try and offer a variety of times (both morning and afternoon) to allow for greater flexibility for working moms and those with school age children. **What if I want to host an event at my home?** Fantastic!! We're happy to have playgroups, home parties, and mom’s nights at member's homes! Please contact an organizer to set up an event on our calendar. **What do I do to confirm attendance at an event?** After you have been approved, you will have access to our full calendar of events, within Meetup (please note all event information is housed in Meetup; please visit our website on Meetup or use the Meetup app to attend our events). In order to confirm attendance at an event, you can RSVP “YES” under the specific event you would like to attend. Please feel free to attend as many events as you’d like, but be sure to only RSVP “YES” for events if you are committed to attending. If you aren’t able to attend the event you must change your RSVP to “NO” within 24 hours of the event time. We understand that with children and families, things come up, but in order for the group to be successful we need committed participants. If you must change your RSVP close to the event, you may post on the event page on meetup to let the hosts know you are unable to attend.

Get Out! That’s our goal. So get off the couch. Explore the area. Our group is mostly focused on hiking but we will enjoy other events in and outside the area. Meet other likeminded people, discover something about yourself and reach new goals! This is a great way to get fit, and stay fit in a nontraditional (gym) setting. All of our events are group oriented. There is a broad range of backgrounds, interests, experience and abilities within the NEPA Trail Mix group. Find the event that fits you.

Just a look at some of the future events this group will be challenged with; hiking, kayaking, camping, walking and for the more adventurous paint ball, white-water rafting, skiing etc.

Join the mix!

This group is to hook up with people to ride with and help new riders. We will usually meet up at another location for meals or to just hang out. North East PA has some beautiful riding. Group rides will also be on the agenda. I hope to one day have a large enough group to set up some charity rallies. I'm hoping riders in the group can hook up with others from the group and make some trips like Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Sturgis to name a few. I have over 40 years of experience with 100's of thousands of miles in the saddle. I'm currently riding a 2004 Dyna Wide Glide with my wife.

This group was created to give our Indigo, Crystal and Rainbow adults an opportunity to meet and hang out in a safe and supportive space. Come and share your experiences, questions and good times! We will have various events, classes and workshops throughout the year. So check the calendar and join us. All are welcome!!

Come and learn how to better listen to your inner guidance and develop your natural talents in a safe environment with experienced guides.

We hold a weekly development circle and various workshops throughout the year.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

We're looking forward to meeting  you soon!

Run/jog/walk without a closet limiting your stride. All pleasant people welcome, regardless of orientation, gender ID, running ability/speed/goals. Hoping the result will be as social as it is athletic. It would be great to encourage each other in our fitness and/or competitive goals, while building friendships and support in our community, and maybe co-ordinating runs with Frontrunners in NYC and Philly. Hoping for one or two regular, casual runs a week, with a meal after. Possibility of co-ordinating participation in races, for those that swing that way, maybe some trail runs, other purely social activities. It will be what we make it! (Disclosure: I'm not doing this from pure altruism. I've been in NEPA for three years, but with one thing and another, my social and running lives are both basically moribund. I need people to drag/push my sorry butt farther and faster, and I need to make some friends!)

I want to bring together other firearms owners both new and experienced to share their knowledge, receive training and become better gun owners. In today's climate education is the answer, not banning firearms. Firearms stop around 500,000 crimes a year and an unknown number of fatalities because the crimes were stopped. Even if you don't own a firearm please join us so you can see for yourself what gun ownership is really all about.
