WineBudz
Welcome to **WineBudz** – a "no-wine-snobs-allowed" group in Kitsap County and beyond. Whether you’re brand new to the vine or a ripened enthusiast, you will find a warm and welcoming atmosphere here. We will offer several events every month at venues all over Kitsap County, from Poulsbo to Silverdale, Bremerton & places beyond. As variety is the spice of life, so too will we provide a wide variety of meetups... from the traditional (i.e. happy hours, wine tastings, wine classes, wine dinners, etc.) to the novel and one-of-a-kind (i.e.... well, you’ll just have to join to find out!). So come make new friends and perhaps learn a bit about wine along the way. You must be 21 to join and no older than 121 (as we are concerned about your ability to drive home). To all members: Part of joining WineBudz includes agreeing with the following legal statement releasing WineBudz plus Betsy Tarpley from any liability for injuries or other damages that you incur while attending and participating in any of our events. If you do not agree to the following, please remove yourself from the group and any of our activities and events. Thank you. DISCLOSURE, RELEASE, HOLD HARMLESS, AND INDEMNITY. I wish to participate in activities offered by WineBudz, as presented on this website or otherwise. I understand that the group, individual organizers or participants organize or sponsor a variety of activities, including hikes, happy hours, target shooting, music events, dances, and other social events, etc.. I recognize that these activities may involve certain dangers and risks, including but not limited to serious personal injury or death, possible equipment failure or loss, accidents or illness in remote places, force of nature, or the actions or omissions of WineBudz members and other persons. I also do not hold any other organizer or any driver to these events liable for any accident or injury incurred.

North End Hikes and Walks with Dogs

Edmonds, WA

North End Hikes and Walks with Dogs

This is a group for people who like to get out exploring with their dogs.  Hikes and walks will mainly be scheduled for the Seattle area and north.

You do not need to own or bring a dog to join us, you just need to be willing and comfortable hiking with dogs.

I am not an experienced guide, but have done a number of hikes and am wanting to find others that are passionate about getting out as well.

http://www.meetup.com/north-end-hikes-and-walks-with-dogs/about/

Disclaimer: We are not  professional guides and do not have certified training or insurance. Be aware, inherent hazards and risks are associated with walking, hiking and all other physical activity. We can not guarantee the condition of the trail, the length of the trail, or that the trail will be appropriate for a certain fitness level.You may join us on our hikes and/or walks at your own risk. Keep in mind that hiking and walking involves risks and weather changes quickly in the mountains.  You are responsible for your own safety and health.  The more prepared you are, the better the chance you will remain safe. Your preparedness not only affects your safety but the safety and enjoyment of the whole group.

I am not in charge of this hike/walk, I’m merely going on a hike/walk myself and inviting others to join me.

Please read the "Terms of Membership" agreement before joining:


http://www.meetup.com/north-end-hikes-and-walks-with-dogs/pages/Terms_of_Membership_Agreement/

I am open to suggestions about where to go and what to do.

Dogs make wonderful trail companions and it is a hobby you can do anywhere, at anytime of the year.
For dog owners it is important to realize that not all parks are open to our four-legged friends. it is sometimes hard for dog owners to believe but not everyone loves dogs. We are, in fact, in the minority when compared with our non-dog-owning neighbors. As such, rules can change rapidly to ban dogs from even more of our public parks. It doesn't take a referendum or a ballot count for "NO DOGS" signs to appear overnight.
So make sure your dog is a good citizen on the trail - don't bother other hikers and pick up after him - and you will be embarking on a passion that will last a lifetime.
Get fit - grab a leash and hit the trail!

Asian 2100

Lynnwood, WA

Asian 2100
ASIAN 2100 in its core is a neighbor gathering meetup group.  People with Asian background come together to create great ideas.  Although when we were living in our own countries, our culture/history background seemed very far apart.  When we immigrated to America, our culture differences became insignificant compared to local Americans.  If you are not Asian in ethnicity, as long as you are truly interested in Asian cultures, you are welcome to join. My name is Luke, I grow up in Taipei and I speak English and Mandarin.  I earned my Bs and Ms Degrees in aerospace engineering from UCLA in 2002.  I have worked as an engineer for many years.  Currently, I am concentrating on investment. We will have outdoor activities every weekend, include but not limited to hiking, (beginner level) mountain climbing whenever weather is fair.  The idea is to come to the indoor meetup first and get to know each other before going out together. The idea of ASIAN 2100 is sit down together and fully express ourselves with great or not so great ideas.  When I was eight, I was told that Taiwan was not my home, my true home was in a village I have never heard of in the northern part of Mainland China.  Although this eccentric idea seemed unacceptable for most people in Taiwan, it is the truth and the only truth.  I later learned that Baze Malbus was born and grown up in the same village as my ancestors.  After all, great people came from the same place. Chinese culture, language and politics will be one of the recurring theme throughout our future meetups.  It is summer time, so free soft drinks will be provided to every meetup event.  Please just come with your good spirits and ready to freely express yourselves.  We hope you are interested to know us and also let us to know you.
