Meet new friends groups near Sequim, WA

This is a social meetup group for gay men (21+) in the Sequim and Port Angeles areas. It is a PRIVATE group so the general public will not see the locations of our events or who attends - just the title and date/time. The goal of this group is to create a small community of Port Angeles/Sequim area gay men for socialization and support, "Family", if you will.  We like to meet for meals at local restaurants as well as other activities as hikes in different parks, day trips to interesting locations and other activities as suggested by members.  The secret to making this group successful is for members to participate.  We welcome your interest in joining and making some great new friends.

Skwim Toastmasters offers an affordable public speaking and leadership program.  It is fun, self-directed and self-paced.   In a short time, you'll feel more confident speaking and leading in our community and your workplace. 

Chartered in 2006, Skwim Toastmasters members are unified by a common mission: to enrich our lives and the lives of others through our three values: communication, leadership and community. Skill levels within our club vary from practiced and confident speakers to those of a novice level, ready to conquer their fear of public speaking.  We thrive in a mutually supportive (and fun!) environment. 

Our Mission:  We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth. 

How Do We Do It?  We practice prepared and impromptu speaking in pursuit of Competent Communication. We regularly take on meeting roles and serve as club officers as we strive for Competent Leadership within our club, as well as in our workplaces and communities. We appreciate and serve the Community we have built, with good times, laughter and lasting, supportive relationships. 

Who Are We?  Our Members come from many walks of life.  Among them, you'll find beginner and experienced speakers, as well as beginner and experienced leaders.  You’ll find mothers, fathers, grandmothers, accountants, lawyers, salespeople, entrepreneurs, engineers, teachers, retirees and others fill our ranks. 

What one thing do we all have in common?  We have a strong commitment to becoming better...especially at public speaking and leadership. 

Our Pledge: What We Give is What We Get.  Our members shape the future of our club…and it's as much of an honor as it is a duty.  As members, we commit to the following:  I want to become a better speaker and better leader.  I strive for a positive and professional attitude.  I will attend regular meetings.  I will actively collaborate to help the club succeed.  I will support my fellow club members, as they support me

“Le vin est de l’eau emplie de soleil!” (Wine is water filled with sunshine!)

Wine has played an integral role throughout human history, bringing individuals and cultures closer together through social interactions. More than just a pleasant beverage, wine compels us to quietly reflect on the events of a long day, just as easily as it revels in our celebrations with family and friends. Perhaps wine’s greatest attribute is its ability to act as a social lubricant, to help people feel more comfortable and less awkward in new social settings.

With this goal in mind, we invite you to join in an exploration of the wonderful world of wine. Each month we will explore the history of wine, the science and art of winemaking, and the diversity of flavors and aromas to be found in over 1,200 varieties of wine grapes! And because wine has historically been regarded as an accompaniment to good food, we will frequently pair the wines being tasted with a selection of artisanal cheeses and fruit.

Regardless of whether you are a wine “newbie” or a master sommelier, there’s always something new to be shared and experienced when tasting wine with friends, or better yet, friends-to-be! We look forward to greeting some of our new neighbors at the kick-off meeting in June, and each month thereafter. Check the Wine Explorers calendar for additional dates and details.

Cheers!

Playing and singing songs together, unrehearsed, has been a part of the human experience for thousands of years. It still touches something deep inside us today, whether it is around a campfire, in someone's living room or at City Hall.  This group is for anyone who loves to learn new songs, make music, meet like-minded people, and enjoys collectively creating  musical magic. It makes us smile. 

Do you have to be able to sing or play well to be in this group? No, you simply have to have the desire to try.  We play a wide variety of types of music including but not limited to rock, country, folk, Grateful Dead, spirituals, sing-a-longs or whatever else someone brings to the circle.

We are trying to meet once a month, but the days and times change depending on the location.  You will be notified of jam times.
