Meet new friends groups near Germantown, WI

New Friends MKE

Milwaukee, WI

New Friends MKE
Hello, People join this group to meet new people but there are things that make this group special. 1) Our members - I have met a lot of people and we seem to draw very sincere people. In my three years, I have seen so many great relationships of all kinds form. This wouldn't happen at the pace it does if it weren't for the fact that our members come to events with the right intentions and a friendly tone. 2) Quality of our events - We are now the largest and most active group in the state. This gives us opportunities to make great events. The hosts and I put a lot of thought and work into our events. It is our goal to make events welcoming and entertaining. There are a lot of "regular" members that attend many events. Each one of these people started with one event and now I know the group means a lot to them. Take the risk! Join, come to an event, and if it works for you, I am sure I will see you at a lot more. NOTE: If you would like to run an event, awesome, I would love to hear from you. Or if you are a business that would like for us to try out your establishment, let me know. I am open to suggestions. You can see my contact information below. Thank you.

Networking With A Purpose

Thiensville, WI

Networking With A Purpose

What we’ll do:

Shake things up!  Think about this for a second.  I want you to think of how you Networked in the past and forget it for a minute.  Let’s do this: Network with a purpose…  Are you someone who promised yourself 2018 would be different?  Did you tell yourself you would network more, meet new people, get out of your comfort zone, volunteer in your community, give back?  Well, look no further.  If you can relate to anything I just said, than this is the group for you. 

What is Networking with a purpose, you ask?  It’s exactly what the old saying says: Do what you love and success will follow.  Paying It Back, Pays. Investing in your community is a great way to give back to those who have helped support you or your business.  The problem is, most people think they cannot make a difference as one person. Well, I’m here to tell you they’re wrong.  I’m not “most” people and WE are stronger in numbers.  Your idea, my idea, OUR ideas will make a big impact in the community around us.  Have you ever walked past the tv and stopped in your tracks as the news spotlighted an extraordinary individual who fed the homeless out of the back of the trunk of their car on Thanksgiving Day?  Did it stir up an emotion in you and made you want to BE that helping hand?  The only difference between you and them… they acted on their thoughts, you continue to think them.

So, hit that JOIN THE GROUP button, get involved with this group and I promise you it will be one of the most rewarding steps of your life.  There are so many ways we can give back AND help grow each other’s business while we’re at it.  You see, we will still converse and talk about what it is we do in our 9-5’s.  We will also know people who can use our services that we provide in our 9-5 jobs.  We will get excited about finding a Networking Group that we look forward to attending and I promise you, you will walk away refreshed and seeing opportunities around every corner.  I challenge you to change your way of thinking that Networking doesn't have to just be about handing out a business card, giving your 60 second elevator speech & wondering what you could possibly say to set you apart from any other business person in the room.  Not in this group!  Nope… here, you will arrive and everyone will know your name and welcome you.  You can slide up a chair, grab a coffee or a bite to eat and together we will get to know each other in a comfortable social setting.  You are going to be surprised at how a little outside the box thinking will create so much good in the world, you just might leave with a cheesy smile ya just can’t get rid of.  Not to mention, when you tell all your friends and co-workers about it, they are going to want to join in on the goodness.  And that my friend, is Networking With A Purpose. We’re going to need a bigger space. 

What are you waiting for? Join the group and RSVP to our next event.  Please remember, when you RSVP, you mean it.  Looking forward to giving back to our communities... Together, 1 Passion at a time.

Junto Waukesha (20s Friends and Socialization)

Waukesha, WI

Junto Waukesha (20s Friends and Socialization)
Do you crave authentic, in-person social activities? Are you tired of being glued to your phone to get your social fix? Junto Waukesha is a social club for young adults seeking new friends and social activities. The Junto is founded on the following assumptions: 1. Meaningful, in-person social interaction is critical to wellbeing: Recognizing the fundamental human need for social connections, the Junto prioritizes the significance of robust, in-person social bonds for overall wellbeing. 2. Young people are lonelier than ever: In response to the pervasive trend of young adult loneliness and diminishing close friendships, the Junto aims to provide a solution through fostering real-world social connections. 3. Virtual communication is cheap: Virtual communication and social media can never fully satisfy the need for genuine socialization on their own. Excessive reliance on devices isolate us from each other. While we acknowledge the utility of these tools when used properly, they can never replace in-person socialization. 4. There needs to be a "common ground" for socialization: This common ground should be easily accessible, meet regularly, and be free of political/religious/ideological bend. Cost should never be a barrier to entry; participation should be free or nearly free (never more than $10). Phones should never be used during a Junto meeting. There should be an emphasis on getting to know your fellow members as individuals and encouraging mutual improvement. This is a new group so I any input from members regarding ideas and activities is welcome!
