Ah ha! My new Meetup group FINALLY launched 3 hours ago! Woohoo!
And it already has 34 members! Sweet!
http://www.meetup.com/Ladies-of-the-Front-Range/http://www.facebook.com/pages/Laid-Back-Lively-Ladies-of-the-Front-Range/342553572429218So that was the AW part...Now here is the PSA part:
I know that we have mentioned meetup.com before in passing. However- I just wanted to let you ladies know again what an awesome site it is. You can find groups for almost every interest!
I have posted lots of fun stuff for this group: a murder mystery dinner, a gumbo cookoff in Manitou Springs, Wine Tasting Dinners, Bowling, the Opening of the Hunger Games, Casual Coffees, Wings at a local pub, Happy Hour at PF Chang's... Fun stuff!!
Sometimes I forget how important having a local community is. Humans are meant to be social- and my life always feel more full and satisfied when I have awesome people in my life.
The other huge benefit of joining groups like this is for their networking opportunities- all of these people are linked to other people that might have a job for you someday. Networking is so crucial these days- and basically everytime you meet someone new it's a networking opportunity.
So that's all...just excited and eagerly encouraging you to check out meetup.com, especially if you are wanting to expand your community.
