This group is open to new members by referral only. As of June 14, 2012 I have changed the name of this group to better reflect its membership and hiking venues.  For the first few years the name Central Fairfield County Hikers Meetup Group served well to indicate where the membership was from and where the hiking venues were located. Since then the group has expanded to include members from several states and we hike all over New York and New England. We welcome nature enthusiasts and hikers …

Once upon a last week, two recent graduates decided they wanted to read something other than romance novels for a change (or not...). So we're starting this group in hopes of finding other people with a passion for reading, and a willingness to embark upon a most ambitious quest: to read as many of the "top 100 novels" as we possible can. However we don't want to limit ourselves to just those - we hope to explore, examine, and be entertained by all different types of genres. There is no limi …

This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published. Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract. While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …

After this group was begun by another organizer, I took over in the spring of 2012 so that a group of individuals who enjoy reading can share ideas. It's interesting to hear different view points from the group about the people's/character's personalities, the settings, and the topics in general. We have had some great discussions about the author's craft. In the past we have drifted toward biographies; any titles and suggestions from the group are welcome!  Debbie Parker

Hi Valley Moms!! This group was getting ready to close and I thought I'd jump in to see if we can get some activity up and running again!  Valley Moms was started by a mom looking for kid friendly activities and chance to get out of the house with makeup on and recharge! Personally, I'm a WAHM of a 1 1/2 year old.  Getting out of the house for me means running errands or meeting with clients.  My daughter & I just don't have much interaction with other kids and moms, unless they happen to be a c …

This is a support group to help myself and others remain sane in this crazy, upside-down world. I am creating this meetup as a desperate attempt to find like-minded individuals located in my area. I am a conservative catholic and I enjoy educating myself in history, economics and self-reliance. I am a working mom with two young children. My oldest child is currently attending a public school, and I lose sleep at night knowing I have him in a system that does not share my values. Ultimately …

Intuitive drawing allows you to channel your higher self, the realm of possibility, and your past. You also learn to decode your drawings so you can understand your own personal color mapping system. It's an easy way to develop your psychic skills, plus you get beautiful drawings out of it. No art or psychic experience is necessary to learn this and everyone has a great time! Here's an example: Have questions? Contact me and I'll answer any questions you may have. Love, Rachel Andrews

I like to spend the little free time I have reading about American history and having my mind blown by all the things I don't know/fully understand. Not many people share this interest, so I thought I'd reach out to see if anyone would like to join a book club to talk about the various great books we read. Ideally, we would also organize day trips to any of the many, many local sites in the area. This is open to anyone and everyone, so I hope you'll take part if this sounds like something you wo …
