Fun Peeps. The name says it all! Who we are: Single, divorced, married, kids or no kids - it doesn't matter. We're all about getting groups of people together who like to have a good time. Our group's main purpose is FUN. We are not selling a service, product or idea (nor do we want people promoting or soliciting for their MLM opportunities). We bring together other fun people and create good times in hopes of building lasting friendships. We will be hosting a huge range of activities such as dining out, live music, bowling, sand v-ball, beach outings/picnics, potlucks, movies, dinner parties, wine tastings, happy hours, comedy clubs, sporting events, volunteer activities, miniature golf, shooting pool, game nights, road trips, hiking, biking & almost anything active, social and fun! We want to provide a wide range of activities because we know that everyone’s schedule is different. We do not expect you to attend every event, but attend the ones that work for you. Fun and memorable times occur when sharing experiences with other people. Bring your positive attitude and you will have a great time, however, in order to do this you need to participate. An active group means success for all of us. If there is an activity that you think we should include, please submit it as an idea or email me. Would you like to host an event? That would be fantastic, just let me know. Now all you need to do is just start signing up and enjoying the activities! Look forward to seeing you at an event soon.
