GOT-OC! (Get Out There Orange County)
You want OC? You GOT-OC! Thank you for wanting to Get Out There and do something different in Orange County. This group has been around for over four years and looking back, we have done some very cool things! If you are into Orange County Sports, mainly the Anaheim Ducks and the Anaheim Angels, you will find that we offer some very cool experiences relating to the games! Also if you like concerts and comedy, we do those often enough for you to get your fill! GOT-OC also has been known to create very cool experiences, we have thrown parties at some well known places like the Discovery Science Center, K1 Speed, Ripley's Believe it or Not, and the House Of Blues to name a few. We have also produced trips to see tapings of the Price is Right! 3 time winners! A new Car! Some Bikes! The Showcase Showdown! We have gotten on busses and hit the casinos, rented limos to tour Christmas lights, and have just held small social gatherings at local resturants and bars. GOT-OC also produces several events called the House Of 80's which take place at the House Of Blues in Anaheim and Los Angeles. If you love the 80's this is the place to be! GOT-OC was founded here on meetup, but has since expanded and grown to other social media outlets, so the rsvps, may close suddenly for those events that have limited space. We are more than a "meetup" group. GOT-OC is headed by Larry, who has lived in the OC for over 20 years and is a Certified Tourism Abassador for Orange County and Anaheim. If you have any questions regarding this group, or if you would like to have GOT-OC help you plan or coordinate an event, please feel free to send an email through this site.

Early Bird Hiking -- San Gabriel Mountains and beyond!
This group is for hikers of all levels who want to explore the beauty and incredible trails of the San Gabriel Mountains, and the rest of Southern California. As our name suggests, many of our hikes will begin early in the morning, although we have regular evening hikes as well. The early starts allow us to hit the trails (and the parking lots) before the crowds set in, and by starting early we also finish all but our longest hikes before noon. Our hikes range from short and fairly easy (3-5 miles and about 1,000 feet of elevation gain) to intermediate (in the range of 7-10 miles and 2-3,000 feet of elevation) to advanced (our Mt. Wilson summit hikes, for instance, are usually about 15 miles and 4,200 feet). One important note: So that as many people as possible can enjoy the wonderful trails that this group visits, we have a strict no-flake policy. Many of our hikes have wait lists. If you're on the "yes" list for a hike with a wait list, you absolutely must show up. Flaking on a wait-list hike means you deprived someone else of the chance to join us, and it gets you suspended for six months in our group. Changing your RSVP when you change your mind about a hike takes 10 seconds, and it's the right thing to do. So set that alarm clock, beat the crowds and the heat, and come explore the beauty that's hidden in our local mountains.

TRACE Professionals formerly known as IEBP
Meet other local urban professionals from the Inland Empire and surrounding areas to network with and have fun while doing it! If you are professional and want to have a strong support system that is just as motivated and ambitious as yourself-then welcome! We do fun social and substantial amounts of professional networking as well-because all work and no play is not for this group!! You will aways get what you give, so volunteering completes our third motivation in this group. If you are still wondering whether or not to join.. maybe these top reasons will help... 1. If you have just moved to Southern California and you're wondering, "Where are my people?! 2. If you swear that there are no African American professionals in the IE. 3. If sitting at home every weekend with your kids while chatting on the phone with your buddies on the East Coast-as they get ready to party, is your typical weekend. 4. If you network with the same professionals, and have not been increasing your networth. 5. If you have been to some California mixers and folks are so shallow or bougie, that it made your eyes hurt. 6. If you think there are no single people in the Inland Empire. 7. If you drive to LA every weekend and week day when you can, just to find some people to hang out with..... This group is more geared toward African-Americans, since we are severely lacking an outlet like this, but all races who identify with the African American culture are more than welcome to join!! So loosen that tie, take down that bun and let's have some fun!!!!! SPONSORSHIP AND ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE. PLEASE CONTACT THE ORGANIZER FOR MORE INFORMATION.

SoCal Young Adventure Seekers
An adventure is an activity that comprises risky, dangerous or uncertain experiences. The term is more popularly used in reference to physical activities that have some potential for danger, such as skydiving, mountain climbing, and extreme sports. An adventurer is a person who bases their lifestyle or their fortunes on adventurous acts. (wikipedia's definition) We are a group for people of all ages that love the outdoors and getting out and having fun on the weekends. Started this group to find others like myself to get out and enjoy adventurous activities with and really just to have a good time. It's a great way to meet like minded people you have things in common with. If you have ever wanted to do some adventurous activity but don't know how to go about doing so or don't have anyone to do it with, this is the group for you. Let me know what it is you want to do and I will work with to make it happen.

'SoCal Volunteers United'
Volunteer. If you want to make a difference and "be the change," Consider volunteering for worthwhile community service events. Giving back & helping others is rewarding, fulfilling, satisfying, and fun! "Never before has man had such a great capacity to control his own environment, to end hunger, poverty and disease, to banish illiteracy and human misery. We have the power to make the best generation of mankind in the history of the world." "We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world." "My fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." "Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own."

The Disneyland Pulse
WELCOME to our "Happy Place" - and the LARGEST Disneyland Resort fan group here on Meetup.com! (=3 For most of us, the Disneyland Resort -- to include Downtown Disney, Disney's California Adventure (DCA), and the "Mouse House" itself -- may be considered our "home away from home", or simply a fun and safe gathering spot to unwind from the everyday chores of life, work and all-things hectic. Many of us feel comfortable in coming to "the happiest place on Earth" - either alone or (preferably) with others - to enjoy the days, nights and other things that are happening throughout the resort and the local hot spots - The HOB (House Of Blues), The Jazz Kitchen, wine tasting at DCA, etc. Whether it's for the shopping, the holidays (Halloween & Christmastime simply ROCK there!), the occasional concerts... whatever works for you -- probably works for MANY of us as well, sooooo... Why not share the experiences, with fun-loving and adventurous new-found friends? Here's our chance - our opportunity to share upcoming events, gatherings, NFFC (Disneyana enthusiasts) conventions, fine dining, concerts at the HOB... whatever may strike your fancy in all-things Disney and even some beyond the castle gates... Let's DO this - together.

The OC Young, Fun and Nerdy Meetup
Who says there has to be shame in being a nerd? Some of us may like Civil War era literature a little too much and Tivo Jeopardy!, but that doesn't mean we can't go out and have a good time.

The type of events we do runs the gamut, from board game nights, pub quizzes and ice skating to lectures at the Aquarium of the Pacific and amusement park trips ... all with some nerdiness thrown in, of course! Hope you can join us!

Victory Park Tennis Players Group
Meet your fellow tennis lovers and players from all over the San Gabriel Valley. All are welcome. Depending on what a member is looking for, there are a couple things we try to do. One, we place members with similar playing levels together. This allows them to maximize the degree of enjoyment achieved through game play. Two, we place members of varying play levels together. This helps to foster an atmosphere where members of higher playing levels create the opportunity for members of lower playing levels to grow and improve their game. Competition is fun, but it should not interfere with the common goal of trying to grow as players. The more we help each other grow as players, the more fun we can have through competitive activities within the group. On that note, we intend to start organizing round robin events fairly soon. This is where we can apply this methodology of helping each other grow as players by mixing members of varying play levels. We now also offer clinics about once a week to our members who are seeking improvement by addressing specific weak spots in their game. We are a fun group with lots of good folks. We hope you decide to join us.

Southern California Adventure Hikers
Welcome to the Southern California Adventure Hikers meetup! This group brings together like-minded hiking enthusiasts who enjoy advanced and challenging outdoor activities in Southern California and beyond. Adventure Hikers is intended for experienced and prepared hikers who are looking for challenges that take them to the next level. Please note that the term 'Adventure' does not refer primarily to off-trail, bushwhacking or exploratory kind of hikes, but also to long 20+ mi hikes and/or hikes with substantial elevation changes (4000' or more). Our goal is NOT be to go as fast as humanly possible, but rather to do tough hikes and enjoy them! While we welcome new members, please be mindful that our group is not for everyone, and is definitely not intended for beginners or Sunday strollers. If you are new to hiking, unsure of your abilities or looking for easy hikes, it is strongly recommended you check out other Meetups first and gain some experience before signing up for any of the trips posted here. Should you decide to join, take note of the expectation that all members must already have a conditioning level to the point where hikes in the 10-12 mile range are routine. What type of activities will you find here? Our group focuses primarily on mountain hiking in all its shapes and forms - from moderate dayhikes to 12hr+ endurance treks to overnighters or weekend backpacks. However, in keeping with the diverse interests of the organizers and members, we also engage in more specific and/or unusual activities such as: peakbagging (getting to the top of as many mountains as possible); highpointing (collecting the highest points of a particular geographic unit such as country, state or county); non-technical climbing (class 2-3 for connoisseurs); scrambling; easy mountaineering; alpine climbing; cross-country route finding; snowshoeing & winter hiking; and many others. We also like to combine several different things with extended hiking trips, such as scenic drives; visiting and camping in national parks; rafting; exploring canyons, deserts and coastlines; and generally letting ourselves be guided by the motto: SEE AMERICA FIRST :) If what you just read entices you, please request to become a member of Adventure Hikers. When joining, there are 3 required questions that you MUST answer so please take a moment to do so. All potential memberships will be reviewed prior to acceptance. We'll see you on the trail!

Backyard Skeptics Meetup
Are you a skeptic? See our main page at www.BackyardSkeptics.com to find out if you are. We are a group of skeptics with a heavy atheist 'bent'. If you don't believe in any supernatural deity or paranormal ability this group is for you. We meet once a month in Villa Park (next to Orange) in Orange County, CA on the forth Wednesday and Thursday (alternating). We also have many other events - usually at least once a week such as field trips, movie night and Irish pub nights. Our meetings are in our backyard (hence the name) and usually has a guest speaker or a topic which is posted on the meetup announcement. We have many field trips and casual get-togethers just to socialize with other non-theists as well, and of course our great pot-luck summer and winter solstice parties. We have a voluntary semi-annual donation of $20 on Jan 1 and July 1 which includes your first meeting and a dinner. We serve dinner at our monthly meetings which are on the forth Wednesday or Thursday. We request a minimum donation of $12 or $5 without dinner. Our members arrive around 6:45pm and the meeting starts a little after 7pm. Our meetings are where you can freely talk about your skepticism and non-belief without religious dogma. Our goal: To support the atheist/agnostic/skeptic/humanist community with local meetings, potluck parties, and other social events. To spread the word that skeptics and non-believers are good and moral people and to promote secular values and the separation of church and state. We cherish humanistic values over any supernatural superstitions and encourage others to look at their worldview with critical thinking skills. Bruce Gleason, founder

Healthy, Responsible Singles and Friends
This group is for singles and for people in relationships alike. We are a group of people that enjoy meeting other people so that we can get out and be active together. While many of our members are single, the purpose of the group is to bring like-minded people with similar lifestyles together. It is not intended to be a place for meeting "dates". Members are people that want to be active and want to meet friends that can motivate and encourage them to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Research has proven that friends influence each other's diet and exercise patterns. Are your friends good influences? If so, encourage them to join us! Our target age range is 35-50 but everyone is welcome! What we mean by "responsible":  We hope you will sign up for events that interest you.  When you do, the event organizer expects you to attend.  Event organizers are volunteers who spend many hours planning events for your enjoyment.  Please be responsible enough to change your RSVP if you suddenly find yourself unable to attend.  Members that are determined to be "no shows" more than once will be dropped from the group.  For the safety of our event organizers, all members are required to post current pictures of themselves! If you are interested in helping to organize an activity that can be described as "healthy” please contact the organizer. It would be great to have new things to add to our calendar, and it's a great way to meet new friends that share your interest! When you sign up for MeetUp.com, all members of Meetup must agree to their Terms of Service. Section 5.2 specifically releases the Organizer from any liability related to incidents that occur at Meetup gatherings.

I have lived in the foothills of Sierra Madre and Monrovia for nearly all of my life. I have recently become an avid hiker and quickly discovered that the ONE thing that makes any good hike a GREAT hike, is the company that you share it with!!!!! I plan on organizing a hike or two a month geared mostly to intermmediate to advanced Hike Enthusiasts... Thats not to say that I won't plan Beginner Hikes. I am ALWAYS open to suggestions / requests.

Naturalist For You (NFY) was created to connect you, the public, to the diverse natural areas in your backyard. As naturalists we possess a broad knowledge and understanding of the natural world. We are trained to observe natural processes and interpret their significance for your benefit. We are passionate about wild places and seek to share that passion with you. We primarily conduct programs on publicly-owned land, such as the national forests (Cleveland, Angeles, San Bernardino, Los Padres), state parks, and county parks. We also provide exclusive access to private preserves owned by local land trusts. Many of our local natural areas are vast, beautiful, and mysterious, but rarely visited by the majority of our population. We want to encourage you to explore these priceless treasures. Every positive experience we share in nature brings us closer to preserving it for future generations. Our vision is to preserve the ecological integrity of our local natural areas through community outreach and stewardship. Our programs are meant to be entertaining and educational. We understand that the human and natural communities are connected. Therefore, tours are designed to avoid negative impacts, such as habitat destruction, wildlife injury, erosion, and various forms of pollution. In addition to preserving a high level of respect for our natural surroundings, your comfort and safety are our highest priorities. NFY is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, public benefit corporation. All donations are tax-deductible.Joel Robinson is the founder, executive director, and head naturalist for Naturalist For You. He has guided thousands of curious individuals on professional wilderness tours since 2001. Many organizations and agencies have utilized his talents, including the US Forest Service, Audubon Society, The Nature Conservancy, The Wildlands Conservancy, the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy, Los Padres Forest Association, Silverado Modjeska Park & Recreation District, Santa Ana Mountains Wild Heritage Project, City of Santa Ana, City of Lake Forest, and Orange County Department of Education. He is a Certified Interpretive Guide with the National Association for Interpretation. His vision is to connect the majority of the public to our local natural areas, so their preservation is guaranteed for future generations. http://www.naturalist-for-you.org

The Asian Riders Club
Riding alone can be hugely rewarding. But, the camaraderie of riding with the right group beats riding alone any day. It has started with that philosophy. ARC is a motorcycle community created for riders from all over to meet, to ride and to have fun together. It was founded in Oct 2008 by a group of responsible riders. Ever since, it has been required no membership dues and it has been reaching out to not only Asians but also any human race. It's all about the people, the rides, the adventure, the fun, the laugh and the journey. We host weekly rides, track days, bike nights and the special events. We thank our members to make this place great and to meet new people. All bikes, all skill levels, all riders are welcome. ARC is a very diverse and safety oriented riding group consisting of riders of all ages, skill level, and ethnic backgrounds. We require all our members who participate in group rides to be fully geared with at least a helmet, jacket, gloves, full length pants, and boots. And we strongly discourage showing off or stunting during our events because our member's safety is our number one priority. At ARC, raise your voice, and you WILL be heard, that is one of the main reasons we formed this group. Our organizer crew will listen to what you have to say and for the benefit of the group we will actually do something about it. If you do not have a ride now, but thinking about to get a motorcycle in the near future, join us and we will share our knowledge with you to help your decision.

Coffee House Writer's Group
Hi my name is Christine Marie aka depodol & I've been writing since I was 15 years old... My New Year's Resolution for 2010 was to write more and hopefully have something published by the end of the year. I've learned that the only thing that REALLY motivates me are other writers that share the same passion for their writing talent, so I created this writer's group. This group's main purpose to bring aspiring writers together to share & motivate each other into a positive & productive direction. If you have unfinished writing projects, writers block or lack of inspiration then this is the writers group for you! I believe that through connecting with other like minded people, we are not only stronger but wiser. I also LOVE this quote by Madeleine L'Engle, "Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it." If you have one branch twig in your hand then it is easy to break it but if you have several together then it is harder to break. The more writers the better! We need each other! Hope to see you at the next meet up! ~christine marie aka depodol feel free to visit my own personal blog site rainingreality.com and check out some photos of our meet ups :)

The Fullerton Book Club Meetup Group
Like books? Like to talk about life, happiness, and the occasional paper-cut from books? (or bruised toe for you kindle and nook readers.) This is the group for you. We are a diverse group of race, age, and gender who have one come together for one common interest - books. Yet in exploring the stories or history together, we discover we have so much more in common as well. We don't follow one genre or one author but try to find new areas to branch into each month. We also don't break the stories down, clinical piece by clinical piece. Instead we prefer to discuss the story in general terms and how it relates to us. Click here for a list of some of the books we have read before... Due to some of the topics we may discuss and the fact that we often have wine at these, our meetings are only open to adults, aged 21 and up. Our normal Meetup day is the first Thursday of the month at 7pm although we occasionally change it to the second Thursday. If you are a book seller or a writer trying to get your book seen, you can contact us if you wish to send samples. However, we prefer not to have our meetings become a sales pitch session and do not have "sponsored" meetings. Thank you for your understanding. We would like to extend a special thank you to Alice Wong who started this club.

Inland Empire Real Estate Investment Group - Corona
Hello! My name is Todd Bockman, I am the new Organizer of the "Inland Empire Real Estate Investment Group - Corona". It is my honor to be a part of your group to meet and network with each and every one of you. My background is diverse, aside from being a Real Estate Investor with over 20+ years experience in all facets of investing. I am also a Human Performance Strategist, NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer, Coach, Forex (Foreign Currency) Trader, and star of the new reality show "Human Whisperer". I'm excited to be your new Organizer and look to jump start this group by bringing you lots of valuable information, tips and strategies to help you get started, or to take your existing investing to a whole new level. 2011 is shaping up to be an exciting year for real estate, as minor signs are appearing in economic figures and home sales data that could indicate a recovery is on the horizon. Our meetings will be a little different than traditional real estate group meetings, as we will not only bring you knowledge and experience that you need for your investing, but you will also learn the crucial missing link that many never teach - the Mindset of Success that is essential to truly succeeding as an investor. As you get to know me, you will find I am an extremely giving person and always deliver more than expected. Our meetings will not be full of sales or trying to get you to sign up for something. They will be full of real nuts-and-bolts, down-to-Earth information that YOU need. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you! Todd Bockman

The Sunshine Gals of Orange County
A huge THANK YOU and tons of hugs to my organizers and hosts for keeping this amazing group going since my move to Palm Springs. Without you, it wouldn't be possible. Members, please let our organizers know how much you appreciate their efforts in organizing our events. Again, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Love to you all! xoxo Candy First things First We are NOT a networking group. The Gals enjoy knowing that when we get together, NO ONE will be trying to sell us something….even in the name of charity. There are many other lovely groups on Meetup that are specifically for networking, we are not one of them. Read more on what we're about… ABOUT US The Sunshine Gals of Orange County is a social and philanthropic society of fun-loving, compassionate and whimsical gals who celebrate life with a positive outlook and sunny disposition...and lots of love and laughter. Our members foster friendships, kindness and giving through various social and charitable activities. Each of our Sunshine Gals brings something special to our group. We are proud to be a society of unique women from all walks of life, who love to share ideas for new adventures and new philanthropic projects, all with a spirit of joy and great sense of humor. All of our social events and philanthropic projects are completely voluntary. Only YES RSVP's are necessary, but please update your RSVP if you change your mind or can't attend after all. Members are free to choose which events or projects they would like to participate in. Members are welcome to add an event or project to our calendar and volunteer as an event host. Better yet, become a group organizer and have access to our calendar to plan events that suit your interest. Volunteering our time and collecting items for charities is an important element of our group. We donate these items to charitable organizations and anyone needing a little ray of sunshine in their life. Recently we have concentrated our efforts on The Friendly Center in Old Towne Orange since many of our most active members live close by and enjoy their time working with this wonderful organization. We also work with The Joyful Foundation helping make blankets for those facing life threatening illnesses. If you have a charity close to your heart, please let us know. We would love to support many charitable organizations and make others aware of them. Our group colors are yellow and pink. You will find many of the Gals wearing our colors to make us easier to spot at our events and to show our Sunshine Gal spirit. We welcome you to show your spirit too...it adds to the fun and whimsy of our group. Even wearing one yellow/pink accessory counts! Anything we wear with our colors is affectionately called "frippery", a word which is defined as: showy finery; finery in dress, especially when gaudy, frivolous, pretentious, or the like. The Sunshine Gals love flowers, gardens, and nature. Our group flowers are Roses & Sunflowers, which represents happiness, beauty, strength and friendships. Lemons will always have a special place too as we believe "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" I am very proud of the enthusiasm of our group and with its growth and progress. I am grateful to be surrounded by such kind, positive and genuine women who make The Sunshine Gals what it is today...BEAUTIFUL. Hugs, Candy

Hike and Walk for Friendship, Fun, and Health
There are so many great hiking clubs and groups around us (OC, LA, SGV, IE, Puente Hills, Sierra Club, etc.) and I recommend that you do try them out.  They are really great! However, if below seems to be good for you, then join us: Everyone ONE is Welcome Here! Hiking has become a hobby and a passion! I have been hiking around OC, LA, and other areas; however, I wanted to hike near my work and home due to busy and demanding schedule from work and personal life. I thought, hummm, it would be nice to have a hiking group close to my home and work; thus begin my search and found that there are hardly any hiking groups within 10 mile radius around Chino Hills, a beautiful sub-urban city I now reside. Well, thus begin my journey to startup a new meetup for those people who live in and around Chino Hills and Surrounding Areas. I believe hiking is one of the best ways to keep up with your health, meet new friends, and have fun while doing it. What more can you ask for! I am hoping this hiking Meetup will grow to become an oasis for those people like me who love outdoors.... I love it when I can get outdoors and feel the cool breeze on my skin, see the open sky along with beautiful scenery, and meet new people while having enjoyable and meaningful conversations that often bring surprises from many different perspectives. I hope many of you will join and build this Meetup for benefit of all.  Bon Voyage for Friendship, Fun, and Healthy Living through Hikes! Joshua Kim   P.S. I think I have set it up so any member can schedule and setup a meetup.  Also, if anyone is interested in co-leading or becoming an assitant organizer so you can officially schedule and lead meetups, let me know.    WAIVER OF LIABILITY: Hiking, water activities, and all outdoor events are rewarding and pleasant activities in nature, but there are certain dangers you should be aware of.

Sustainable Living Group (LA-SGV)
:::::::::::::::::ABOUT THIS GROUP:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: The purpose of this group is to learn about living more self-sustainably (including cooking at home), help the environment, save money. We will make more informed choices, eat more healthfully and sustainably, and pool our resources by buying select goods as a group. In these economic times, it makes sense! I decided to start this group because of my interest in ordering food from small organic farms. It can get expensive when you want to order healthier food, and so the best way is to grow your own, make stuff yourself, and buy in bulk when you know what you want. One must be creative in these times to save money. You should join this group if you would like to buy in bulk, swap fruit or veggies, or share anything you no longer need with others on your area. This group is not limited to the San Gabriel Valley, but you should be able to come to meetups periodically if you are participating in a bulk purchase to pick up your items. This is a very democratic group in that anyone can plan and organize events for the group. If you have an idea for an event, please contact me and I'll make you an event organizer. :) :::::::::::::::::MORE:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I have a new source for eggs in Walnut, near Diamond Bar/Pomona. They have about 3 dozen eggs available per week. Does anyone leave nearby that would be interested in picking up? Fantastic store in London where nothing is in packaging: http://beunpackaged.com/ Make a difference with an energy efficient refrigerator. And I quote from Boing Boing: "The whole American food system, from farm to fork, accounts for about 10% of the energy we use in this country. Of that, the largest single portion, 32%, is the energy involved in household food storage and cooking. Put it another way: If we reduced agricultural energy use by 5%, nationwide, we'd save about 20 trillion British Thermal Units of energy a year." But if just 5% of American households got a more efficient refrigerator, we'd save 54 trillion BTU. For those of you with edible gardens, I've just added a handy planting guide calendar to the photo album (click on "Photos" at left). One of our members just posted some cute pics of her chicken coop, veggie bed and her soil recipe. I've heard from Laurent Gabrielli of Health and Lejeune (organic produce) in LA. He's given me an Excel spreadsheet of all his prices and minimum amounts for purchase, and will deliver to any location we designate.

Inland Empire Organic Gardening
"If every U.S. citizen ate just one meal a week (any meal) composed of locally and organically raised meats and produce, we would reduce our country's oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil every week.

Becoming a less energy-dependent nation may just need to start with a good breakfast." -Steven Hopp "Oily Food" Anyone from a curious beginer to a seasoned gardening expert are welcome to join and add your experiences to our little community. Discussions include home vegetable gardening, composting, backyard orchard culture, container/ small space gardening, pruning, choosing varieties suited to your local climate, growing herbs, organic pest control, DIY projects, home food preservation, animal keeping, and much more! *PLEASE NOTE: if you are interested in joining please use the "Join us" button located on the right and follow meetup.com sign up instructions, please do not email me asking me to add you, organizers do NOT have the option of manually adding members or emailing individual invites ( for member's own security).

Let us know if you are interested in joining our leadership team. Keith, having shed 100lbs in 2007, keeps himself in shape with his passion for cycling. He constantly challenges himself as well as anyone else who cares to join him. He enjoys good long & fast-paced rides, climbs, and sharing his knowledge with others. Keith is thankful for those who have reached out to mentor him. Janet, shed 55lbs in 2007. She severely injured her back at home that same year. Janet's recovery involved the healing effects of cycling and aquatics fitness. Recovering from back surgery in the summer of 2011 sidelined Janet's love of cycling for awhile. As of October 2011, Janet is back to enjoying ride route exploration, mid-week morning rides, leading moderate rides up to 40 miles, and creating and nuturing wonderful cycling friendships, and growing this exciting cycling group. Keith and Janet rode over 150 miles in Holland, Netherlands where their love for cycling was ignited. They embrace those cyclists who have also fallen in love with the feel of the open road, wind in the face, sun over their shoulders, and smiles that just won't fade.

The Inland Empire Pay It Forward Group
We started the group because of the overwhelming demand for volunteers at community centers, non-profit organizations, food pantries, and shelters. The purpose of the group is to provide a meeting ground for people who want to "give back" and who want to "pay it forward" by providing their time, talent, and service to their community. We want to show what we can achieve when we all pull together. This will also be a great opportunity to get together, meet each other, socialize , and have fun. We will also have meet and greet social gatherings throughout the year. VOLUNTEERING IS MORE FUN WHEN YOU DO IT WITH FRIENDS! Everyone who has ever been blessed is welcomed to join.

Just Dance in the Inland Empire
Tired of the 20 year old clubs, too loud, too crazy? Tired of being searched trying to get into a club? Want to go dance but hate the nightclub atmosphere. We need some places and parties for our age group with a variety of music from 70's 80's 90's and some top 40. We plan to find those places and cooperate with other groups who want the same thing. So, if you are 29 to 69, lets go dancing!!! We have started this meetup group because singles at the young age of 30 plus need more places to dance, mingle and maybe make that special connection in classy locations. We will be sponsoring dances and wine tastings, for these beautiful business professionals. If you like a classy place to try some new wines, and then dance the night away, you should attend one of our events. Now mid age professionals have their 70's 80's places to dance in the Inland Empire. 70's 80's 90's is our favorite music. Get off that couch, get off the online dating & meet hundreds of singles in person. See you at the next party! At Elks Lodge Ballroom in Ontario on Oct. 22, and you don't have to be a member of Elks or Meetup to attend.

Trail Runner
Definition "Trail Runner": A Trail Runner is a road runner that went crazy from pounding the pavement with thousands of others. Out of boredom they are forced to run in the woods, hills, mountains or deserts. Trail runners find true enjoyment getting their feet dirty, jumping over trees and rocks, crossing deep water and hiking long climbs. Trail Runners are often misunderstood. People think they are "insane" because they are training and racing in zero degrees, deep snow, rain, and temperatures that make the soles of their shoes melt. A Trail Runner never turns down a hill climb and just runs hills for the hell of it. It is not unusual for a Trail Runner to ascend and descend thousands of feet. Trail Runners spend most of their time in beautiful nature. Normally, they are not surrounded by too many other two legged species ("human beings"). But Trail Runners share their territory with other creatures - some with no legs, others with 4, 6 or even 8 legs. By joining this group you agree to the policies and terms of the group.

The OC 20-30 Somethings Crafty Martha Wannabe Meetup Group
For the safety of the group we do require that a real picture of you be submitted even if its not your main picture. We are mostly a womens group and a lot of things are hosted in our private homes so we need to know who to expect and who to call the cops on. I love crafts but its hard to meet other people in the same age group that are into crafts as well. Don't get me wrong I love grandmas but I don't want to spend my Friday nights with them. I have dabbled in a little bit of everything, you should see my craft closet/room in my trek to becoming the best Martha Stewart (Wannabe) I can be. And it's not as fun to do it by yourself. So why not be social? The purpose of this group is to meet other women who enjoy crafts to meet socially and do group planned activities that can be taught by the members, (i.e. if you are a great crocheter you can teach how to make a scarf and the following meet up would be a different topic by a different member) or just have open free for all craft night where everybody brings their own projects and we sip some wine and eat some food. I am also a do-gooder so from time to time I would like to host activities to help the needy. Knitting for cancer patients or card making for soldiers to send home for their loved ones, there is always someone in need that could use our crafty help. Lastly for 2011 we have added a book club component since as a general we all love books! If you have any questions or ideas please feel free contact me! Possible craft topics: knitting, crochet, cardmaking, scrapbooking, general paper crafts, cake, baking, decorating cupcakes, repurposing items.

Counter Clockwise
With the increasing interest in environmental sustainability in terms of reuse and recycle, we turn to the past for inspiration. Historically based sub-cultural groups, like rockabilly, underground burlesque, and tiki lovers have been influential in bringing something dated "Right 'Round!" Retro is now considered cutting-edge and fashion forward! These cycles serve as convenient alternatives to those who admire old opulence in architecture, fashion design, art, dance, music, or independent cinema, but prefer a contemporary interpretation. Do you have a passion for times gone by…cars, cinebeat, cocktail bars? Love Rock and Roll music, Googie, or Hawaiiana? COUNTER CLOCKWISE promotes all things vintage and provides an environment for anyone who is fascinated with retro pop culture, fashion, and art. This is where MALE and FEMALE Thrift Shoppers, Design adventurers, Fashionistas, and Urban archaeologists can continue their never-ending quest for cool!

A&B Minds: OC Autism Spectrum and Asperger's Support Group
Amazing and Brilliant Minds... That is what our children have. Children on the spectrum have awesome abilities and giftings that are often overlooked and ignored. We are standing as a body of people on the spectrum or related to people/ children on the spectrum, believing that amazing and brilliant capabilities are more of a focus than the "disability" label so many put on us. Many would say it is a question of weather the glass is half empty or half full, but we say the glass is completely filled with potential and hope. Our challenge is to discover an atmosphere for support, encouragement and friendship- something so little of us receive. This Meetup is based on creating friendships and a social community between ourselves, and to provide an environment of edification and encouragement for our children on the spectrum. Children who find it difficult to form friendships in the school systems are finding natural and strong bonds with one another. If your child is having a hard time making friends, I would encourage you to join this group. If you are a parent who is weary from the battle of protecting your child from the bullying and harassment, I would encourage you to join this group. And if you want to stand up for recognizing the giftings and abilities in your child instead of their weaknesses, I would encourage you to Join this group. All children/families on the spectrum are welcome (with or without an official diagnosis) you have found the right group. Welcome!

Land Ops
LAND OPS OVERLAND OPERATIONS & ADVENTURES Navigation & Radio Communication Exercises Visit also: Land Ops Home Page What is Land Ops? Land Ops is all about adventure and exploration using off road capable vehicles to carry us into the deep unknown. Very few people venture this far into the wild and for good reasons. As if the deep inland journey was not enough we also conduct navigation and radio communication exercises that elevate your experience to that of an expedition team with tactical mission objectives. You are NOT required to have radios to experience Land Ops, but at least a GPS device for geocaching. Land Ops satisfies the person who seeks to embark on a journey into the unknown with a sense of purpose and accomplishment. What we do is both fun and challenging. We're not just sight seers, we're operators, drivers, navigators, geocachers and radio communicators, survivalist and search and rescue. We use technology to create a unique game-play that is really not found in any off road clubs or adventure groups. We attract off road explorers, campers, ham radio enthusiast, fire fighters, military men and women, geocachers and survivalist. We are known as Land Ops and we welcome you to our challenge. Night Ops One of the most unique operations you will ever experience in our group is a Night Op or Extreme Night Op. These are explorations and tactical exercises conducted with the added challenge of darkness. This is not as easy as it might sound. These ops are just plain spooky. Members have been known to return to base camp after a few short miles due to the level of sensory deprivation introduced by the dark of night. Navigating unknown terrain at night, far away from civilization is like driving on the dark side of the moon. However, night ops are well planned and conducted with capable teams and an over-watch element. Teamwork is a crucial for successful night operations. Simulated search and rescue, satellite debris recovery, radio relay projects, and geotactical ops are just a few night time exercises you might expect on any given Land Ops trip. For many members night ops are the most exciting. The confusion factor and chaos introduced by the aspect of night must be overcome in order for the operational objectives to be met. Since night ops are extremely dangerous from a standpoint of "getting lost" they are always conducted with multiple teams working together. You will not soon forget a Land Ops night operation. Daytime Ops For daylight operations you can expect several of the following exercises to be conducted; Capture the flag (competitive), Progressive geocaching and puzzle solving, geotactical relay (teamwork), buried treasure hunt with real prizes inside the treasure chest, geocaching, exploring and various other navigation and communication games. Mind Set Each participant is encouraged to bring a good attitude and expect to be challenged at some point. Our missions which are planned for fun. In other words, they are not so difficult that you have to be a scientist to complete them, however they can easily become extremely challenging due to the environment and unexpected adversity. You should come expecting to have fun, but if you are not prepared for challenges you might get easily frustrated. Getting stuck in the sand, a windy day that tries to uproot your tent and/or a cold night can test your mental strength to keep it together. Come for fun and expecting a challenge! Teamwork Although some of the exercises are competitive the main theme of the Land Ops adventure trips is "Teamwork". Experienced members and new members team up to accomplish mission objectives that involve Equipment The minimum requirement is a reliable vehicle for offroad use and a gps device for finding waypoints and geocaches. Radios are not required, but helpful. Members who are not radio operators are encouraged to pick up a few FRS radios (not CBs) so that you may communicate with other members vehicle to vehicle. Ham radio operators you should have a field day. We use 2 meter, 440, repeaters, and APRS (automatic position reporting systems) and anything else you might want to show and tell. Membership Membership and trips are free. Currently; Land Ops does not charge any fees. However, none of us really has any money (we're not rich), we're all working folks....so....your donations are encouraged. Buying our videos and participating in raffles really helps off set the costs. Help where you can! We encourage trip donations. Donations are not required to attend and we won't look at you funny if you don't donate, but we consider a $35 donation per vehicle to be a nice gesture for the off road trips. We've been given more and it helps. Donations go towards trip organizing, setup and prizes. JOIN RIGHT NOW and SIGN UP FOR THE NEXT TRIP! We promote a quiet camp after dark.

Cloth Diapering & Baby Wearing in the Inland Empire
There are tons of places on the Web to chat with other Moms who use cloth diapers and/or wear their babies. But I've found that it's rare to meet other like-minded moms in real life! My name is Mandi, and I used to own a website selling cloth diapers and baby carriers. When baby #3 was on the way, I decided to stop retailing, but my passion for cloth diapers and baby carriers is still a big part of my life! Please feel free to rave about any and every cloth-diapering or baby-wearing business you love! Disappointed with a product or company? Feel free to rant. Need help or pointers? Ask here! Want to swap, sell or trade? Do it here! Perhaps you're a pro, and would like the opportunity to give pointers to Moms new to cloth diapers and baby-wearing? Maybe you've just never met another cloth-diapering or baby-wearing fan in real life? We welcome anyone who loves cloth diapers or baby-wearing (or both!), or who would just like to learn more!

Yorba Linda Hiking
The group has been updated to reflect the changes from my email below the original description of the group. I will modify this page again in a few weeks. This is the original description of my purpose in starting this group: "I love to hike, but I have kids that are 9 and 11 . . . and they DON'T. I was in several other OC hiking groups, but most of the hikes happen when I would either need to get a sitter or drag the boys with us. So I finally decided to start a group to pull together others who would hike with me during the normal work-week. We will schedule a variety of hikes in a variety of locations, but my focus will be on hikes within half an hour (by car) of the intersection of Imperial Hwy and the 91 Freeway, and on hikes that are between 1 and 3 hours in length. All of our hikes will start at 9 a.m. or later, and will end before 5 p.m. I do work, but I can take time off for a few short hikes a week. If you can make time to join me, then . . . join me!" But this is the email I sent out today, on the 1-year anniversary of the group: My boys started school today, and I have started a new year with my business. Last year I loved our hikes, but neglected commitments I'd made to clients and was difficult to reach for support issues during our hikes. This year I realize that I cannot hike when I am supposed to be available to clients! I have been considering what to do with this group all summer, and decided over the last week or two to try 6 months of member-initiated and member-led hikes, and to open up the hours a bit since so many of you want hikes that are earlier than 9 a.m. So tomorrow I will change the name of the group to simply "Yorba Linda Hiking" and drop the "9-5 Monday to Friday" part, and I will change the meetup settings to allow all members to add meetups. I wish I could join you all on your hikes and walks! I wouldn't have started this if I didn't want to be out there myself! But the reality is that I have kids at home who need my attention when it is outside normal working hours, a business that needs my attention during the work-week, and that regular hikes will have to wait just a few more years for me. Please feel free to email me or call me if you have any suggestions or questions. Contact me through this site and I'd be glad to give you my direct contact information. A special thanks to Leslie, who has been leading walks all year, and to both Brendas who were so faithful during their commitments to lead hikes and walks! Thanks also to all the others who led walks or were faithful participants on those walks. I hope you will all feel free to use this group to schedule any walk or hike you still want to lead. --Maria Kettleson Anderson

Inland Empire Dog Whisperer Fans
Congratulations on joining the *Original Pack Leader Group!* I am pleased to bring you the Inland Empire's finest meet-up for fans of National Geographic's "The Dog Whisperer." This is a training group designed for those that are fans of Cesar Millan's pack leader philosophy. For more than 20 years I have used natural, primal, and holistic methods to work with dogs, as well as other animals. As a professional dog trainer of nearly 20 years I have received formal training with internationally known trainers and authors covering a wide range of training methods and techniques. In April 2005 I began my formal training of Cesar Millan's methods through Linn Boyke, one of Cesar's first assistants. The training I received changed my life, and I am honored to share with all of you what I have learned through working with the methods and philosophy you see practiced on the Dog Whisperer TV show. My goal is to assist you in anyway that I can with all of your doggy needs. My work with all breeds and ages in behavior modification and solutions, problem solving, complete home manners, and multi-canine management has brought remarkable changes to all of my clients throughout the United States and Europe. I believe that by helping my clients achieve complete fulfillment within their dogs, they will also find fulfillment. I draw from a lifetime of experiences with animal companions, as well as more than 16 years of yoga practice to help bring a calm, balanced energy to all of my clients, canine and human alike. My goal is to arrange meet-ups with wonderful dog lovers in order to share my experience, and help create balanced canine companions that will shine as ambassadors to Cesar's Way! Our meet-up groups will be comprised of both meetings with your dogs, and with out your dogs. There will be opportunities to work with Pet First Aid & CPR Experts, Canine Massage Therapists, Canine Reiki Masters, Holistic Veterinarians, and to join my Pack Walks and Yoga classes with your canine companions. You will also learn to understand dog behavior and psychology from your dogs' point of view, as well as how to properly socialize your canine companions, solve and prevent behavior issues, perfect your obedience, completely fulfill the Animal, Species, Breed, and Personality in your dog, and much more! I would like to invite you to also join us on… www.facebook.com/attheendofyourleash www.twitter.com/jfreilich May this group bring you an abundance of all good things, and a completely fulfilled life with your canine companion. Thank you again for joining the Original Pack Leadership Training Meet-Up! As Cesar say's, "Stay Calm and Assertive!"
