HikeAccess: Accessible/Mobility Focused Nature Walks

Foxboro, MA

HikeAccess: Accessible/Mobility Focused Nature Walks
This group focuses on short accessible hikes or nature walks for those with mobility, conditioning, or disability issues that are keeping them from getting out in nature, or who have found other hiking groups go too far and too fast to keep up, or over trails that are too challenging. This group caters specifically to those who are mobility challenged, or have other physical or conditioning issues that make slow, short hikes preferable. Myself, I have back and lung problems that are limiting, but I still love to get outdoors! Most hikes will targeted to be around a mile, on flat, easy trails, with a goal of being outside 45 minutes to an hour at most. Where possible I will try to find trails that have several short loops and call out if they have sections that are designated as "accessible "(i.e., flat surfaces designed specifically for mobility aids). A goal of this group is to create a safe and friendly space where people do not need to move fast or focus on distance. "How slow can you go?" is our motto. Look around, enjoy the light, the sounds, and the company of others. Bring a camera! Any hike I list, I will try my best to provide a description of the trail conditions, length, etc. The slowest person sets the pace (usually me). Although of course groups can get a little strung out, staying somewhat together and taking breaks will be encouraged. No animals please other than leashed & trained service dogs. You are of course welcome to bring a friend. We observe all park rules. Some hikes will be at Audubon/Trustees reserves, which may require a small fee if you are not a member. Disclaimer: Hike leaders are volunteers and do not claim any specific expertise. I cannot guarantee the accessibility of every trail for every person, but will provide descriptions so you can judge whether to try it. You are the best judge of your health and conditioning, and you agree that by attending an event with this group, you are entirely responsible for your own person. You agree that you understand the risks of outdoor recreation on hiking trails and will not hold this group or hike leaders liable in the case of bodily injury, as per Section 6 of the Meetup Terms of Service.

WorkingMom Social Club

Franklin, MA

WorkingMom Social Club
WorkingMom Social Club is a fun, welcoming community of local working moms residing in the Southwestern suburbs of Boston & Northern RI that like to work hard (in or out of the home), but play harder - both with and without our kids! Let's be honest, it can be hard to find time for socialization and friendship when you're balancing a work schedule (and potential commute!) and a never-ending list of chores to accomplish.  But building a solid social support network can be one of the best things you can do for yourself (and your children!) in this crazy journey called motherhood.  Other moms always just seem to "get it" and can be there to help support you through the highs and lows of #parenthood.  That is why the WorkingMom Social Club was founded.  To help facilitate social activities geared towards working moms' schedules - weekends and evenings - to make it as easy as possible for them to meet, mingle, and form lasting social bonds with each other. Our events are geographically concentrated along the I-495 belt from Milford to Taunton including the following surrounding towns: Franklin, Bellingham, Medway, Milford, Millis, Holliston, Mendon, Hopedale, Blackstone, Plainville, Wrentham, Norfolk, Foxboro, Mansfield, North Attleboro, Attleboro, Norton, Taunton, and Northern RI Our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization is supported exclusively through member volunteer efforts and funded primarily by our annual $25 membership fee which will give you access to our social calendar of events including playgroups, Mom's nights out, family-friendly activities, and other WMSC sponsored (free to members) events and activities. Participation is key to the success of our socially-based organization.  Therefore, we have a requirement for all members to host at least one event per membership year.  We also encourage regular attendance at our events and engagement in our social media channels to get the most of being a part of our social network PLEASE NOTE that because we are committed to forming in-person social bonds in a safe and friendly environment, all new members requesting to join our social organization will be required to: 1. Make your Meetup username reflect the name you want our members to call you at events 2. Ensure your Meetup profile includes a photo of YOU - and not just your child(ren) so that we all feel comfortable seeing the face behind the name. This will also help members recognize each other at events 3. Fill out and submit our membership waiver form that is linked in the automated email you receive upon submitting your Meetup membership request
