NJ Christian Singles

East Brunswick, NJ

All are welcome to a Christ- centered environment, in which we will enjoy eating, singing, dancing, acting, performing, activities. I am a single mom who loves animals, playing music, ballroom dancing, outdoor activities, potlucks, and hope to get together with like- minded individuals who are interested in having fun in a Christian lifestyle. We will first meet preferably over lunch or dinner, say at a buffet. I hope to discuss our activities, mainly performing and dance, and hope to come up with an agenda and permanent locations (i.e. Churches, gyms, someone's basement, etc). I actually already go to a similar established group in South Jersey, which is wonderful but simply too far. Let's get together and enjoy, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

FUN With Friends / 3D - An Indian Social Club 30+

Edison, NJ

Welcome ! We are FUN: Friendly Urban Networking. If you are looking for friends to have dinner and/or drinks with and participate in activities, come join us. We engage in indoor and outdoor activities for meetups over the weekends throughout the year. We do meetups primarily in New Brunswick and Edison in Central New Jersey and New York City. Singles, married couples, and divorcees over the age of 30 are welcome. If you enjoy exploring, traveling, and going on adventures with friends, then this meetup is for you. Let's find joy in the unknown paths we will come across. Life is what happens when you're not texting, taking selfies of yourself or your desert. Let's instead spend time sharing stories, making plans, and building long lasting friendships. Let's see if that still works as it did when we were growing up. We all have hectic lives with our work, family life, and personal situations, why not take a break and join us for dinner and drinks instead? We enjoy the sophistication and world class cuisines of New York City as well as the city's vast night life that never sleeps continues to impress us with the numerous high-end restaurants, rooftop lounges, comedy clubs, and so much more. This meetup group is ideal for people who are able to meet in Edison, New Brunswick, and Manhattan. We would love to hear about the passions and interests that make you come alive.

There is so much we can learn from each other if we just open up and share in our great experiences. If you are looking to expand your group of friends, take a chance and break bread with us. We'll be more than happy to have you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Cheers.

There is a Whatsapp group that will be used to build friendship via virtual communication.

One note. Dinners will be split evenly. In order to be fair, Drinks should be purchased individually at each restaurant.

Central NJ Tennis Meet-Up Group

Edison, NJ

What we're about <br>Looking for a friendly group of intermediate-to-advanced tennis players? SPG Tennis was organized in 1974 to meet that need. Then in 2013, we created the "Central NJ Tennis Meet-Up Group" to publicize the tennis activities SPG members (http://www.spgtennis.org) enjoy so much.

SPG plays outdoors during the summer, April 27 to November 5, 2019. We have weekend play on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9 am to 1 pm on eight courts at 1295 Inman Ave in Edison, New Jersey 08820. <br>Click here for driving directions (http://www.whschool.org/page.cfm?p=511).

At times, Wardlaw’s courts are unavailable for outdoor play. On those occasions, SPG members often move to Kramer Park in Scotch Plains to play. This is a public venue and it is not an “officially sanctioned SPG event.” You have to provide your own balls and share the courts with local residents. Some SPG members also play at Kramer on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and some brave the cold and play on Saturdays and Sundays between November and March, as well.

Directions to Kramer Park: <br>The Park is located off of South Martine Avenue in Scotch Plains. You may not find this on MapQuest. Kramer is roughly two miles from the Scotch Plains exit of Rt. 22 at Snuffy’s Restaurant (near the Blue Star shopping center). From Fanwood center (the intersection of South Avenue, a.k.a. NJ Route 28, and Martine Ave.), head southeast on South Martine Ave. Go roughly half a mile. Then look for Congregation Beth Israel on your left, on the corner of Shalom Way, a.k.a. Cliffwood St. Turn left into Shalom Way and drive to the end. (Shalom Way is between Evelyn St. And Mary Ellen Lane).

Joining SPG (http://www.spgtennis.org)is a great, affordable way to play tennis with others at your level and meet new people.
