Meet new friends groups near Hartland, WI

If you feel politically stuck in the middle between clowns to the left and jokers to the right, you’ve found the perfect Meetup group to join! Inspired by Michael Smerconish’s The Mingle Project, this group will meet to discuss hot topics and news events with people from different backgrounds and points of view. If you’re an independent thinker and want to join a conversation with people of diverse views, then you’ve found the right place.

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.

You must be vaccinated. This group is for mature men and women, single or attached who enjoy getting together to explore various events, music, art, theater, games, dining out, sharing our knowledge, experiences, and having some fun. Geography is not an issue. This is a "no drama" zone. If it sounds like fun, let's try it! Feel free to make suggestions. Let the new memories begin. Please RSVP soon and often. We have many get-togethers where you can feel free to ask questions, talk about ideas, or any areas of concern.  The easiest way to track our events is to look at the calendar (on your computer) located under "Events". This works better than the phone app, by displaying a regular calendar showing each day's events. Each week, we have events to choose from all around Waukesha and Milwaukee. Hope to meet you soon!

This group is formed to share information about blogging , online money making with adsense, affiliate marketing and etc. share your views and ideas to create new online biz man

"Many studies have concluded that friendships are vital to a person's well-being, and this is especially true for older women." Our members have varied and rich interests, and that is reflected in our group's activities.

Girls just wanna have fun! Let's get together and enjoy some girl time. This group is for women who are active, social and ready to enjoy life with girlfriends. Find your people to do the things that interest you, matter to you, but you don't want to do by yourself. Make a job out of your social life, connect and commit, it is more important now as we evolve and flourish!

This group will feature a full and diverse calendar filled with a variety of awesome events. I am limiting the number of members as I want a smaller group of women who are able to build relationships. I encourage participation, first and foremost, and I expect and appreciate RSVPs! I also would like members to attend at least one event per quarter. I reserve the right to remove inactive members or members who sign up and don't show up.

I will need a leadership team to help distribute the workload, schedule meetups, manage communication and collaboration. Please consider getting more involved, it is fun and you will get out of the group what you put into it.

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!

Welcome to the *New to Milwaukee Meetup (35 and Up)* group! This meetup is for those who are new to the Milwaukee metro area, whether you're from another city in Wisconsin, another state or a different country. If you're looking to make friends, have fun and explore the area, this group is for you! We'll be planning regular trivia meetups, hiking trips, coffee get-togethers and other activities. Again, welcome! We're glad you're here!

I started this group because I was a part of an amazing group when I lived in Madison called Boundless Betties. I had so much fun and met so many people so when I moved I wanted to start something similar. If you want to organize an event- please let me know and I will give you access. It is super simple to do and trust me, people will come! Invite your friends! I want this to be a fun group where we hike, socialize, and do things outdoors. Welcome to SE Wisconsin Women's Hiking Meetup! This group is perfect for women who love exploring the great outdoors in a supportive and adventurous environment. Whether you're a beginner or experienced hiker, join us for scenic hikes, nature walks, and outdoor activities in the beautiful SE Wisconsin region. Make new friends, stay active, and enjoy the beauty of nature with like-minded women. Let's lace up our hiking boots, hit the trails, and make lasting memories together!

If you like board games, card games, outdoor games, group games please check us out! The games we play depend on the mood of those who show up. If you bring your favorite you will likely have someone to play with! Right now we meet 3rd Sundays at 5:30 pm, come-and-go style. We go home when the last table enjoying their game is done. If there's an event on the Meetup page, we're meeting. If there's not, check in with the group host online to find out. We meet in the lobby of New Vision Church, N14W27995 Silvernail Rd., Pewaukee. We ask attenders to bring a snack/appetizer to share or a $2 donation to cover Meetup fees and buying drinks for the group. Events for this group are often cross-listed with the Pewaukee Sober Hangouts group. It is a "dry" meetup - please don't bring alcohol to share. Nothing against it, but its something this group has chosen to adhere to as we have many who want to live a sober lifestyle for a variety of reasons. That's not what this group is "about" though - it's just about games. So if you like games, join us!

This group is dedicated to tasting and trying wines with people in the Milwaukee area. It is intended for those people who enjoy a good glass of wine and time with friends. It doesn't matter if you prefer your wine from a bottle with a wood cork, a synthetic cork, or a box. We are looking for people who consider themselves more wine "appreciados" than aficionados. Age and gender are never a factor here. You just need to like wine, and have a desire to learn more about wine and the wine making process, as well as what creates a wine's nuances. Wine tasting events are planned and organized on a monthly basis at local establishments or at member's homes. We are one of the longest running Meetup groups in the Milwaukee area with over 150 events in our 10+ years on Meetup. We look forward having you join us. In Vino Veritas! Aaron
