First and foremost, big hug, hang in there and take care of yourself regarding having to endure one of the hardest life experiences, saying goodbye to your loving companion and dear friend. For your reference, below are resources that helped and continue to help me. I started this group to first see if there's enough interest to then formalize an actual face-to-face Meetup Group. So, for the time being, this Meetup only communicates through e-mail. Please feel free to e-mail me with questions, s …

About Us: Whether you've always lived in Salem or you've recently moved here, it can be difficult to make new friends at this stage of life. This group was created for any women or feminine spirits late 20s-30s who want to find supportive friendships and escape the frenzy of every day life! Future Meetups: Happy hours, movie nights, game nights, crafts, fun fitness like yoga & zumba, walking & hiking excursions (weather permitting!), and any other ideas we come up with. Bottom line is this gro …

Portland Lady Readers are an all-round diverse group of interesting, intelligent, savvy and social women-readers for the Portland area. It is for open-minded, socially conscious, fun, forward-thinking ladies of ages 30 to 45 who are avid readers (and eaters, as there will definitely be food involved). We will speak our minds and from our hearts. We will dedicate one day of the month for books and bonding. We will have our meeting preferably at one of the members' homes where we would bring wine, …

There are others book clubs around but they are already full or well established. I would like to have just 10-12 ladies that want to share with others the books they enjoy. We will start of in a mutually chosen spot . After we will each host the meetup. She will pick the location, the book and 'run' the meetup. I am looking for women who love to read and share the story with others. Who want to be in a book club, and don't feel they fit in any of the other groups.

I'll be honest....I have no friends! I just moved to the Portland area for business. I have a great job, an amazing boyfriend...but I miss spending time with girls! I know I can't be the only twenty-something, semi-single career gal new to the area, and thought this might be a fun way to meet some fun girls. The group will be about the reading if you'd like it to be...or we could talk about the book for about 15 minutes and then just drink wine.

Mapping Our Destiny together with Women is a fun, friendly, sassy, diverse group of women who encourage each other as we learn and have fun along this journey of life together. If you are a woman over 30 and live on the West side of Portland, like to have fun while enriching your life, and want to expand your circle of friends, this is the group for you! Some of the events we will be posting include: book club, concerts, day trips and local events, movie or game nights, paint your own pottery,do …

I have been a long time book lover and recently have more time on my hands. I have always thought a book club sounded fun with girls who enjoy reading the same types of literature! I recently read Fifty Shades of Grey and couldn't put it down and thought it would be so much fun to get tougher with other ladies (probably between 21 and 35 age range-ish) who may have read this or similar stories (usually romance novels and chick lit type books) to laugh, gossip, drink coffee, wine, or whatever may …

I want to create an environment where groups of young ladies (20s-30s) can share their love of reading in a safe and enjoyable setting. I am always looking for new people to share my interest in reading with and am looking forward to beginning a new group in which to do this! (This was from the original organizer, but the sentiment stands...so, there ya go.) Books are selected entirely online in a discussion board format along with a poll. Members are welcome to suggest books and vote for their …

I enjoy reading, and honestly, I need to make more friends in Portland.  (Really, who doesn't? Couldn't we all use more friends? and books to read? Anyway...) My plan for this group is to host one meet-up a month where we will get together to discuss that month's book, and enjoy some food.  The first couple will probably be held at a public venue, but I am hopeful to host out of my apartment after I get settled a bit in this role as group leader.  I will post other activities as meetups during t …

Sleuths! We are a group of women who love to read Mysteries written by worldwide authors. We  meet on the 2nd Saturday of each month at 12 pm  for Book Discussion and Lunch.  Meetings are held in members' homes on a rotational basis for privacy. This allows each member the opportunity to select a book for the group to read. Plus, we socialize and laugh together! Come and join us!

This is a women's group for discussion and preparing action plans for what I like to call "everyday preparedness" or "practical preparedness". Any ladies are welcome (you don't need to be a mom). No experience? No problem! Discussion topics will be similar to those found in CERT training, and books like "Just In Case" by Kathy Harrison, and "Survival Mom" by Lisa Bedford. We will not be debating or discussing the likelihood of doomsday scenarios. Example topics for discussion are: water storage, …

Just a comfy space to share, discuss and hang out with other ladies into comics and graphic novels. Let's build up our community and do what we love.

We all have things in our closets and homes that we don't use that are in near perfect condition... Why not trade with someone who has something that you LOVE? Each month we'll choose a different type of item (ie. Books, Handbags and Purses, Scarves and Hats, etc) each month. You bring up to 5 of these items to trade and you leave with five different items from someone else's closet that suits you better! Refresh your closet, reading list or home without paying a dime!

Let's get together to discuss great books over a cup of coffee or glass of wine. I am new to Oregon and really want to meet some fun women who enjoy life and love to read. Ladies, if you love to read and want to meet new friends, join me!
