Metrowest ACTIVE Retirees (or not yet) Ready for Adventure

Sudbury, MA

Metrowest ACTIVE Retirees (or not yet) Ready for Adventure

Calling all active (and FIT for the activity you wish to sign-up for)  retirees (or not yet retired but taking time for fun) ready to explore and play with new friends! 

It's "summer" all year long now for us! We can do what we want, when we want! No more waiting for weekends and then having to try to find parking in crowded lots etc. We are free! We are looking for others who would love to get together for some fun (outdoors preferably) whenever we feel like it! Especially during the week when others are working and places are not crowded. While we will set-up activities to look forward to, those who are up for "last minute" gatherings can share their preferred "instant contact" info and we can text, email or call one another to invite for spontaneous fun. 

To keep our group a manageable size, at times we may need to temporarily put a hold on processing new member requests. As our events fill up quickly, our priority is for our members to have a better chance of signing up for our events. We will add on new members as members leave.

We do expect our participants to READ THE DESCRIPTIONS of each activity and only sign-up for the ones that you know you are FIT FOR and able to easily accomplish.                                                           

We will aim to post activities for various abilities as some of us do have knee, etc. issues. So flatter, shorter hikes will be part of our repertoire. 

For our PADDLES, we do need everyone to be able to transport your boat and all equipment to and from the launch sites unassisted. While we try to aid one another when possible, there is no guarantee that someone will be able to help. 

DO READ ALL DESCRIPTIONS of the activities and the equipment needed for participation. 

SAFETY FOR ALL is our main concern- and then FUN for ALL!

Regarding bringing friends: Please just have anyone who would like to come along join our group and sign-up for the activity online. It's free! Thank-you. <br>

Wildflower Farm Writers

Berlin, MA

Wildflower Farm Writers
The purpose of this group is to gather creative thinkers and writers to write together, critique each other, and to help each other grow. This group is an off shoot of our book club. Some of us are also readers. A few of us also write so we decided to start another group for ourselves to write together and to open it up to grow our community. This is a woman's writing group focused on women trying to write either for fun or more seriously. We do fun and creative exercises for short things, and some of us too are working on larger bodies of work. This is a new idea and the nice thing about it is that those joining can help us work out the finer details, culture, methods, and activities. We are here for all writers, all levels, all varieties of people, all genders, sexual preferences, colors. Be patient till you tell us how you want to be viewed/ called/personal pronouns/ anything and everything else. We will honor whatever you choose. Everyone is an individual. We love all types. Respect matters. This group is about honest reviews. Be critical, be honest about your view. This information is helpful. We are here to grow, learn, and improve. There is a difference between being mean, and being honest and critical to be helpful. Please know the difference, and if you don't... wait and think about it and try to say it if you really think it makes a difference and can be helpful, figure out the kindest way to say it. The goal is to make each other better. Cruelty is not welcome nor does it make anyone better. This group meets on a private homestead farm that doubles as a tiny B&B. So the covid rules are very strict. To attend our meetings you must present proof of being vaccinated and UTD on all covid boosters. We test before any and all indoor group meetings during surges in our area/s. Each meeting is strictly limited to 10 people. We hope to get a nice group of people who really want to attend and participate. in nice weather we meet outdoors, where we can watch the goats playing on the hill, from under the wisteria in the heart of the herb garden. In cold icky weather we meet indoors by the wood stove. We are potluck so bring whatever snacks you want. Wine, etc, welcome. No one leaves here unfit to drive. Joining this group you agree to stay here in the event you are unfit to drive till you are fit to leave here. Don't be insulted if anyone doesn't eat something you brought. People have allergies, personal taste, and other food related issues. It isn't about you. It says nothing about you or what you bring. Must love dogs. Loving cats is optional. Stories welcome. Conspiracies unwelcome unless they are part of your writing piece.

We are a fun group. You can find us dancing away after a meal of Chinese at Chopsticks. We do some hiking, karaoke, live music, local community gatherings, line dancing lessons and more. We are open to trying new things. We have a book club, a trivia night, and various other events to keep up young! This goal of this group is to meet new friends and have fun. If you are interested in someone romantically, send them a DM and date them outside of the group. Nobody should feel uncomfortable at an event. To be in this group, you must be able to commit to respecting all people in the group, and be open and welcoming to our members. In our group, we do not discuss politics or other contentious topics as we are among mixed company. You should ONLY sign up for events you plan to attend and if you have a pattern of signing up and cancelling at the last minute, the leadership team will bring that to your attention. You are allowed one "freebee" no-show. You will receive a warning. If you are a no-show again, you will be removed from the group without a refund on dues. This is the only way to try to provide as much fair opportunity to attend events. Come hang out with us! We're cool! :) Chrissy and Lisa \*\*IMPORTANT\*\*\* For the safety of our members, you must have an accurate and clear photo of yourself as your profile picture.
