Singles Social Connections

Bristol, CT

Hi There, Singles Social Connections' goal is to give singles the opportunity to have fun and increase their circle of friends. We sponsor numerous activities such as dances, house parties, walks, and picnics. We offer a relaxed, comfortable, welcoming atmosphere for you and other singles to socialize and have fun. Many singles attend events as we also advertise in newspapers and other singles venues. You'll find that we are an intelligent, friendly, fun loving group of singles in our late 40's, 50's, and 60's. Many other singles attend events besides the Meetup members that respond. This is because we also advertise our activities in newspapers and have our flyers at other single events in the area. Come join us at one of our events and find out for yourself! Annual dues are $40 and the club’s membership year is from January 1st to December 31st. It includes reduced event fees and emails on upcoming events. You do not have to pay membership dues to come to any event. If someone reserves for an event and does not show up or cancel, a 'No Show' will be put after their name. The number of 'No Shows' will appear after their name for other organizers to see when they are scheduling an event. Once someone has 3 'No Shows,' they will be blocked from attending any Singles Social Connections' future events. So, please cancel your reservation ASAP when you find that you cannot attend an event. Thanks. See you at an event, Gail 😊

Southington Book Club

Southington, CT

This is a book club for anyone who loves to read, and to talk about books. The books will be from all genres. I strongly believe that a well written story is worth reading, whether it is written for adults, children, or young adults. I've recently decided to keep the group at about 50 people, as I think it's more important to have an active group than to have a lot of members.

Southington Halloween Spooky Aesthetic Decor Hunting Group

Southington, CT

Hi all! This group is for anyone who loves holidays and/or year-round spookiness! I think Halloween decor hunting is a good initial activity to bring the group together over the summer. If the group progresses, we can incorporate other activities like DIY crafts, horror films, ghost tours, or even a trip to Salem, Mass. I've only been decor hunting for two seasons, so I'm still learning time-frames and hot spots. I don't want anyone to feel they have to buy anything! This is about getting spooky-minded people together to discuss ideas, trends, decor tips, etc. Also, I hope this group is a bonus for those who have social anxiety and feel more comfortable meeting new people by centering on a theme rather than a general social group. This group is open to all races, gender identities, sexual orientations, or belief systems! If you've got spookiness in your soul, this is the group for you! Or, if you think The Blair Witch Project is the greatest horror film of all time, then this is definitely the group for you!

Solo Travelers Unite (20's, 30's, 40's)

Meriden, CT

Do you love to travel, but usually have no one to travel with, or just end up going by yourself? Well then, this group is for you! The idea of this group is to meet other like-minded travelers who are often finding themselves in the same situation, to organize group trips/vacations, and to make some new travel companions along the way. We will do occasional meetups for trip planning and then organize an event. We will jointly plan out a location to visit and the activities we'll be doing, but everyone will be responsible for their own travel, lodging, and admission arrangements.

Sober Social Club

Naugatuck, CT

New sober social club. Non alcoholic beverages, book club, game night, sober skating parties, sip and paint & events. For people who want somewhere to go and something to do without alcohol being the spotlight. Sober curious to sober serious. No gambling or children. Connection, conversation, play and fun. Open to hosting what people want. \*\*\*Many meetup groups charge for admission. That is not my goal, so instead I have set up a pledge/ donation feature. Ideally, you like the events, beverages and other offers that we will have and buy those. I am striving to create what the community wants and needs in the absence of alcohol and other addictive activities. I am copying a video about my big vision where it asks for a video. You will see what we are working towards. 😀

Permaculture/Sustainable Living Group

Watertown, CT

If you're tired of literally twiddling your thumbs on social media and Netflix, here is a relatively safe outdoor/online group for those near Waterbury, CT! This is the place to learn how to be self-sufficient by growing your own tasty, self-sustaining garden and saving the world while you're at it! Fellow hippies and science lovers, if you are interested in meditation, yoga, or wellness, here you can meet your own kind.

Cheapscates and couch potatoes, are you tired of lawn work? Why not replace the parched wasteland with edible plants that maintain themselves?! No pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or any chemical inputs are required when the soil and plants are made healthy. Even weeding and replanting are hardly necessary! Don't believe me - just watch! There are demonstration sites in the area we can visit that practice edible landscaping and also plenty of online videos we can discuss. Grooving to Uptown Funk is also a possibility.

Edible landscaping is a down-to-earth (literally) way to exercise, have fun with your family, connect with nature, restore the environment, save time and money going grocery shopping, and eat local, nutritious, organic, FREE food. You could even have a side gig by selling your extra food!

This is the group for anyone interested in solving large-scale societal, personal, and environmental problems on their own property with people they actually know (not distant, orange big-wigs who are just in it for the money)! Permaculture is a self-sufficient lifestyle and design philosophy centered around Earth care, people care, and fair share.

Whether you are familiar or not with permaculture, you will become aware of its practices, ranging from cohousing, cotransportation, renewable energy, local manufacturing, zero waste, mindfulness, alternative therapies/medicine, and of course, edible landscaping. Prepare to have your life turned upside down - the grass (Er, I mean edible landscape) is greener on the other side!

The Arc of Southington

Plantsville, CT

The Arc of Southington, Inc. is a private, nonprofit organization founded in 1954. As an active local chapter of The Arc, our mission and focus is to serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. The group began with parents sharing their information and experiences raising their children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and we wanted to be there to support them. Originally known as The Southington Association for Retarded Children, it was later renamed The Southington Association for Retarded Citizens. In 1993 the name was changed to The Arc of Southington to remove the word “retarded” in keeping with the name changes of both The Arc of CT and The Arc of the United States. What began as a support group and volunteer organization has evolved into a human service agency providing advocacy, education, information, and an array of quality and individualized support to people of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our vision is for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to receive inclusive education, appropriate quality support, inclusion in all aspects of community life, and empowerment to live the lives they choose.
