Outdoor activities groups near Mason, OH

We are a group of 30’s and 40’s ish people who are divorced/separated with kids. We look for fun places around Dayton and SW Ohio to meet up. This can be with the kids or without the kids. Whether you’re looking for casual friendships, dating, or something else, you are welcome to join. We want everyone to feel welcome. We will be an active group once we are up and running. I just started the page so once we have a good amount of members, we will start scheduling events!

🌱 **Join Our Vegan & Vegetarian Social Club!** 🌱 There used to be some vegan groups on here but they became inactive over time. Here's a new one that promises to be active in organizing events. I hope members are active in joining and following through. Anyways: Looking for a fun, inclusive community to connect with like-minded individuals? Our Vegan & Vegetarian Social Club is the perfect place! We focus on socializing, enjoying diverse activities, and discussing a variety of topics, all while sharing our passion for a plant-based lifestyle. Whether you're a vegan or vegetarian with some vegan preferences, come join us for: 🍲 Potluck dinners 📚 Book club meetings 🎥 Movie nights 🍳 Cooking classes 🚴 Outdoor activities 🎲 Game nights 🍴 Restaurant outings We welcome everyone who shares our love for delicious plant-based food and great company. Let's build friendships and have fun together! Disclaimer: While the events will be vegan/vegetarian, the group will not be an activism first type group. Feel free to discuss important issues but please no uncivil debates or gatekeeping or trying to outdo one another. Please do not actively debate politics. Please be people that are vegetarian/vegan with personalities and unique stories to share. Please do not "only be" vegetarians/vegans. Let's socialize and have some fun. Please also do not debate every event activity we choose. Every business does something wrong. Every product has ancillary impacts on something. Some are worse than others. Some ought to be better. We are imperfect people and we are looking to be vegetarian/vegan and have fun. Let's unite in that rather than looking for division. If something does not fit your moral compass, please abstain and I'm sure the next event will be right for you. You're always welcome to suggest activities as well.
