Metrowest Older Moms Network

Hopkinton, MA

Are you a "mature" mother of a pre-school child who wants to connect with other moms? Would you like to make new friends for yourself and find playmates for your kids? Then join us!

Did you come of age during the Cold War and scandals like the Iran Contra affair? Did you spend hours watching MTV when all it showed were 24-hour music videos? Did you play with a Rubik's Cube or try to clear the last level of Pac Man? Did you ever have the hallmark "big hair?" Do you remember the original Pop Rocks and the "New Coke?" Can you do all the "arm moves" for Y.M.C.A.? And did you truly get tired of hearing your doctor refer to you as a "mother of advanced maternal aged?" (I did!)

If yes... then...

You should join other like-minded moms for playdates, coffee, lunch, free activities at local libraries (like story time, music shows, magicians) and other kid-friendly activities. We plan Moms' Night Out once each month for some grown-up conversation. Our calendar is bursting with fun activities that include kid-friendly outings, playground playdates, and library events. We welcome all suggestions for activities.

Our group is designed primarily for stay-at-home mothers of children from newborns to kindergarten who are able to take part in daytime events, but working mothers are certainly welcome. We plan some weekend events to accommodate those who can't meet during the day.

We welcome diversity and differing opinions, and hope that we can cultivate a close-knit group of mothers connecting around their kids. Moms who share an interest in attachment parenting, breastfeeding, eating healthy and organic, co-sleeping, the "no-cry sleep solution," baby wearing, cloth diapering, green living, recycling, alternative or holistic medicine, or natural parenting are especially encouraged to join. But ALL are welcome!

Expectant mothers and stay-at-home dads welcome, too!

We hope this group can be a great source of support and friendship. If this sounds like a good fit for you and you live in the MetroWest Area or just beyond, we hope you decide to join us!

*This group has been listed as "private" in order to protect ourselves and our children from internet predators. We have a full calendar that is private until you join.

Tiny Farms Network

West Newton, MA

The purpose of this group is to bring together like-minded individuals who are interested in starting a tiny farm business at home or already have one and want to join and share their experiences with the rest of us. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I see this as a great opportunity to have industry professionals join in and answer questions that we all have about growing and marketing and business in general. As I write this in September 2023, I am just thinking about my future tiny farm and collecting knowledge and bits and pieces to see this as a reality in my future. I know their other tiny farms in greater Boston but they’re hard to find on the Internet. Here is my bit on what the group is about - thanks to Chat GPT for this amazing writeup. \*\*Tiny Farm Network: Cultivating Small Wonders\*\* Dive into the world of the Tiny Farm Network, where the charm of farming is ingeniously reimagined for urban spaces. Our community embraces passionate gardeners who transform overlooked nooks like garages, basements, and attics into lush, green sanctuaries. Even the tiniest plots of land come alive under the tender care of our dedicated members. It's not about the size, but the yield of one's passion and innovation. Explore gardens flourishing with delicate microgreens, the earthy aroma of freshly sprouted mushrooms, and a plethora of other pint-sized plants and products. Whether you have an expansive backyard or just a windowsill, the Tiny Farm Network is your gateway to sustainable, urban farming. Join us and discover the joy of small business growing, no matter the scale. \*\*Navigating the Green Frontier: Unity Amidst Competition\*\* In the rapidly evolving landscape of urban farming, competition is fierce. Each gardener and cultivator brings to the table a unique blend of innovation, honed through trials, errors, and triumphs. Yet, as members of the Tiny Farm Network, we recognize an invaluable truth: while competition drives us to excel, collaboration propels us further. By pooling our collective knowledge, techniques, and discoveries, we not only stay ahead of industry trends but also fortify our shared mission. Together, we're not just competitors; we're pioneers, navigating the verdant frontier of sustainable growth. Sharing our expertise ensures that every tiny farm, no matter its size, thrives in this dynamic industry.

Multifamily Investors Network of Massachusetts

Newton Center, MA

Passive income doesn't just happen. It takes a lot of up front effort including learning, networking, building a team, etc. It's nearly impossible to be successful if you don't surround yourself with other successful people. Start building your team because your business absolutely depends on it! So let's get together for some real estate networking! Right now we host meetups in Newton every month. This is not your typical investor meetup. There are no pitches and no "Learn how to get RICH flipping houses" gimmicks. In fact, we won't talk about house flipping at all because it isn't "passive income." We're focused on investing for passive income which can be from multifamily, storage units, office/retail, etc. If you're interested in the power of real estate to create steady, long-term cash-flow for you and your family, then come join us! This group is for investors and the related fields. This may be a good group for you if: • You're an investor looking to grow your network \ • You're a passive investor looking for deal sponsors \ • You're in a related field (insurance, lending, etc) \ • You have no experience at all and just looking to learn We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
