New Group

Food preservation, cooking and Baking and restaurant

Williamstown, MA

This group is for beginners and experienced pressure canning and water bath canning women and men who desire to learn the art of Canning, and also mentor beginners. Exploring new restaurants to satisfy our food palette and meet new people for friendship, commrodery, sense of humor, laughter and fun. Like minded people who love to cook and bake and invent new recipes. I have a strong desire to learn how to water bath can and pressure can as a beginner and being with the community of people that either know how to do it, or have a desire to learn how to do it would be fun. That is for future food preservation in the event of famine or shortages of food that we have sustainable supplies in our home. I love to invent new recipes and tweak regular staple foods to make a restaurant type dinner. Explore places to eat. Find a place to meet that has a kitchen with either a gas or electric stove, that is reasonable for all in the group to do our cooking baking and canning projects. This group will not tolerate political agendas of any type, wokeness, leave your sexual orientation outside the door of this group, I am not interested in knowing it. In this group you are either a biological male or biological female and will be treated as such. I will not use pronouns to address you. A real life common sense, traditional Christian values mindset is what this meetup group will offer.

Bennington Section Green Mountain Club

Bennington, VT

Our website, [www.benningtongmc.org](http://www.benningtongmc.org), has a host of information to assist you in enjoying the outdoors of Southern Vermont. This group is for anyone interested in hiking, walking, biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, trail maintenance, and outdoor activities. Bennington is located in the beautiful Green Mountains and close to the Appalachian/ Long Trail. We are one of the sections of Vermont's Green Mountain Club (GMC) which, since its founding in 1910, has been the protector of Vermont's backcountry - the forests, ridges and mountains that make the Green Mountain State a special place to hike and explore the outdoors. Our first members built the 270 mile Long Trail from Massachusetts to Canada, completing the nation's first long-distance hiking trail. Our club's members have a wealth of outdoor experience in the local area. All skill levels are welcome, please check the specific activity to see the difficulty range. We look forward to exploring the outdoors with everyone! Please check the Green Mountain Club Bennington Section website for more information. [www.benningtongmc.org](http://www.benningtongmc.org) In April and May we have trail maintenance trips to spruce up sections of the Long Trail, including from Harmon Hill, south of VT Route 9 in Woodford, north to the top of Glastenbury Mountain. We also take care of the Nauheim shelter (Maple Hill, near Route 9) and the Goddard Shelter (Glastenbury Mountain). We have two potluck get-togethers a year, usually in November and January, and usually with a speaker or slide show, as well as a summer picnic at Lake Shaftsbury where we can swim and kayak.

Berkshires & Beyond Women 35+

Adams, MA

Attention ladies, 35 and up! We all get how important it is to have our friends around, right? Whether it's sharing a laugh over drinks or having a heart-to-heart, these moments mean the world. But let's be real, sometimes keeping these connections alive can be a bit of a struggle - especially at this stage of our lives. That's where this group comes in! We understand all too well how challenging it can be to maintain friendships and forge new ones. But guess what? Despite living on opposite ends of Berkshire county, we've managed to build a close bond and have a blast together. And, if we go a while without catching up, no biggie! Life gets busy (or we get lazy), we get it. But, we're making a conscious effort to be better, and we'd love for you to join us. This meetup is all about making it easier for women 35 and up to hang out and have a good time. Whether you're from the Berkshires or beyond, you're more than welcome to join us. You can participate as much or as little as you desire, with no questions asked. We're planning all sorts of activities - hiking, attending festivals, grabbing a bite, volunteering, you name it. And, if you've got some ideas or would like to facilitate gatherings, just give us a shout. Let's make this our own little community and have some fun together! \- Tracy and Krystal

Pittsfield MAtch-up

Pittsfield, MA

Local singles looking to hang out. Tired of perusing dating apps to no avail? I am inundated with singles groups in the big cities but I am not willing to travel 90+ miles to meet a guy. If you are married or attached, have a significant other please don’t join. New to the area? Work got you too busy to date? Lets plan to mingle once a month. This is easy. Worst case scenario; you get out and meet someone new😏. Maybe it will be your new friend, maybe it will become your new love. Low pressure atmosphere, join activity of interest.

I’m christian, educated, motivated and have a healthy diverse set of interests. I am a busy professional but I feel that should only be one aspect of life. I will be meeting at Panera in Pittsfield early to mid November-ish to select some activities and get this up and running. Hope to see you.
