There are a whole bunch of meetups in the Baltimore and DC areas. However, there doesn't seem to be anything out there for fun-loving folks in the Ellicott City & Columbia, MD area.  It would be fun to meet some new friends and get to know the area through a new meetup as there seems to be plenty of things to do around here without having to go to the major cities. The goal of this group is to get some fun people together to go out on the weekends (in Ellicott City or Columbia or possibly Baltim …

This group is for ladies in their 20's --mid 30's who are looking to make new, lasting friendships.

Why the name Ribbons and Pearls? Ribbons are girly and pearls are classy--lik …

No family??? I'm interested in starting a group for people in the Baltimore metro area who have no family and thus no support. I'm looking for ideas and suggestions because I have not figured out exactly how to do this. I just thought I'd throw it out there and see what kind of response I received. I was hoping to put together a group of people from 18-99 who like me have absolutely no family. I was hoping to incorporate support with some fun activities, etc. If you have any interest, ideas or s …

We're a couple of relatively new Baltimore-area residents (who just recently met!) and we've noticed how hard it is to make friends who have similar interests once you get into your later 20s/early 30s. So...we decided to start this group for people who have been frustrated by how hard it is to make new friends at our age, especially when you're in a new city (though it can be hard when you've been here a while too). We're into going out to dinner, having picnics, checking out new places in Balt …
