SLINK - Social Ladies, Independent, No Kids

Columbus, OH

SLINK - Social Ladies, Independent, No Kids
Fortify your social life and your friendships. Meet other intelligent, independent, interesting women who don’t have children or don’t have young children at home and have more time in their schedule for get togethers.  Planning events does take some effort so we are hoping everyone can take on some of the responsibility so that we may keep this group active. This group is for successful inspiring professional ladies ages approximately 35-55.  Activities may include dinners out, outdoor activities, fitness, live music, dancing, or whatever you post! Everyone will be made an organizer so more events can be planned. Dues will cover the cost of the board, *they are not free.* ***\*\*\*Removal Policy- \*\*\**** It takes time to plan events, not moving your status to "not going" and "no shows" are automatic removal of the group and membership dues nonrefundable if you are removed per Meetup policy.  Signing up for an event and canceling last minute (same day)  2 times is automatic removal.  We understand things happen, but after 2 times last minute within an hour before event,  this is a pattern, we have waitlists for more dedicated members. ***Also.. New members*** who keep signing up and *holding spots* while we have a waitlist and never been to a meetup before and ***keep canceling are removed after 2 times, if you can't get to a meetup -commit -then this isn't the group for you.*** Must have a photo to join so we know who to look for at events. If you think this group is the right fit for you, come join the fun!

Childfree of Columbus

Reynoldsburg, OH

Childfree of Columbus
Childfree of Columbus gives those who do not have children and do not want children a place to hang out. This is not a politically or culturally targeted community group; just a place for those without children to make new friends and try to attend some fun events being hosted around the Columbus area. We'll have weekly events with the ability to host your own event at a designated location. Although we hold nothing against those who have children, we do not want children at any of our events. This group is mainly intended for childfree people; the views expressed by members may represent those ideas. **Community Events** Community Events allow our members to create their own MeetUp events with direct access to our members. Anything with a [Community] tag will indicate that the event is led by a member of our community, not necessarily the admin/mod team for Childfree of Columbus. Anyone who is a member can host Community Events, but there are a few requirements. 1. Must have participated in at least one event with the group. 2. Must be accessible on Discord for admin/mod team, or community members attending the events. 3. Event must be in a public place (concert, bar, etc). 4. You must list the date, time, location, title of event, and information about the event. The goal is to get people to show up and they feel more comfortable if you give them information. Interested in hosting your own event? Message us on Discord. **Communication** We use Discord to talk in real time to our members. We offer voting on events, suggestions, and the ability to make friends outside of the group. [You can find our discord channel by clicking here.](https://discord.gg/bVKQ6KYKH5) **Three-Strike Policy** We ask that if you are interested in an activity, to please only RSVP if you know you can make it. While we understand that emergencies and cancellations will always happen, we ask that you message us to let us know. If you RSVP and do not attend an event *three separate times* within a *three month span* without any communication, you will be removed from the group. It takes a good amount of effort to plan these group events and we want to make sure we're offering the best events possible for those that want to attend.

The Ohio River Rat Society

Columbus, OH

The Ohio River Rat Society
![](https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/6/3/0/600_466838448.jpeg) !!! UPDATE !!! The Group is still going strong, but in order to keep things moving forward, we have decided to move this group to FACEBOOK. It has been a good run, but we will be officially not using this Meetup Group Starting JUNE 1st, 2024. Simply use the link below and join the Facebook Page, and we look forward to many more fun events this year! [https://fb.me/g/p_DRrkfcaWQREG1SqX/Bji2mgio](https://fb.me/g/p_DRrkfcaWQREG1SqX/Bji2mgio) Welcome to The Ohio River Rat Society. If you decide to join this meetup, you're not only joining a group, but yet a family of kayakers/rats all with one focus in mind; and that's having fun. From the first paddle you'll feel like you've been with this group for years; as we are the most nonjudgmental group of misfits you'll ever grow to love! This is a group for anyone interested in kayaking central Ohio and surrounding areas. The trips will provide opportunities for paddlers of all skills levels to get their "paddle on"; from passive river and lake trips to adventurous whitewater excursions. Please do not let the name deter you as we offer trips for all ages and skill levels as stated. With the exception of a few higher classed rivers, all the rivers we paddle can be enjoyed by even beginner paddlers. If you have a special need just let us know and we'll see what we can do to accommodate your request. In addition, we enjoy group gatherings at our homes, around campfires, a local pub or even a popular movie. In other words, we enjoy multiple activities as a "family of rats" **Bottom line is this. If you are looking to have a summer of fun and excitement on the water, exploring new things and in different areas, be yourself and act like a kid again; then you need to join the River Rats.**  We look forward to seeing you on the river.

Brown Girls in Columbus

Columbus, OH

Brown Girls in Columbus

Hey everyone,

I have been a meetup member on and off since moving to Columbus. While I've enjoyed some of those experiences, I was interested in creating a group that incorporated everything I like to do all in one. I consider myself an eclectic person who enjoys doing a wide variety of things around town. I am hoping to find some fun ladies who would like to join me in experiencing all that Columbus has to offer to it's fullest. Our meetups will include travel, exercise, wine tastings, dining out, dancing, cultural events, festivals, museum tours, coffee/book outings, cooking classes...everything and anything I find that looks interesting around the city.

Who this group is intended for:

    Females only, this is not a dating group, so I'd prefer to keep this just for the girls. Now if we meet some guys while we're out enjoying ourselves, that's great but it's not the focus.

    Be mature, I would suggest you be atleast mid to late twenties; however, if you are a mature 23 year old, definitely join us. Otherwise, there is no age requirement.

    This group is not looking to exclude; however, many of our activities will be "people of color" friendly. What does this mean? It means that while we might attend dinner in German Village one evening and plan a trip to Europe next year, we might also have an event at a poetry reading in the King-Lincoln district. If you are comfortable in all of these settings and want to explore the culture and diversity of Columbus, feel free to join our group.

What this meetup is not:

    This is not a professional networking group. There are enough of those already on meetup. If the conversation legitimately leads to your business and you pass on a card, that’s fine but please do not use this group as a sales and marketing tool for your business. I mean who really wants to talk shop when they are trying to enjoy their glass of wine?

    Again, this is not a dating group.

    Involvement and input is crucial. Please be involved and provide feedback and ideas as much as possible.

    This group is meant to be a welcoming, inspiring, empowering group for women. We are truly looking to have fun. Mean-spirited, judgmental, gossiping behavior will not be tolerated here.

If you think this might be a fun group to join and you want to really start getting out and enjoying life, please don't hesitate and join today!!!

Thanks!

Alysha

"When we're connected to others, we become better people." Randy Pausch (The Last Lecture)

Please read our attendance policy below:

*Attendance Policy:
*Respect and consideration for others in this group are top priority; please be considerate by refraining from being a "NO SHOW" (Not showing up and leaving your RSVP a "yes" or changing your RSVP to a "no" within 2 hours of an event). If there is an urgent matter please ensure you communicate with the organizer/host of that specific event and/or update your RSVP within 2 hours of the event. There is a meetup application that will make this very easy on your smartphone.

*Events take work for organizers to coordinate, especially those requiring upfront cost or a specific amount of attendees. Make sure you are able to make it to an event to which you RSVP and if you anticipate a conflict or being late, give us a heads up. We understand that things come up and life interferes, but please do your best to communicate this.

*If you find that you can't make it to something you've signed up for -- CHANGE YOUR RSVP as soon as possible, or call/text/message the event host if it is within 2 hours of the event. Events take time & energy to plan. If you don't show up AND make no effort to let the event planner know what happened --- that's a "NO SHOW".

*No Show/Late Cancel policy: Out of respect and courtesy to others that DO show up, we may bump you to the waiting list for meetups with limited space in favor of those with a positive attendance history. Having more than 3 "no shows" and/or a habit of "late cancels"  (within 2 hours) may require removal from the group.
