The purpose of this group is to discuss books that we find we can't put down after the first reading.  We'll discuss the elements of the story that we most connect with. Drinking warm, soothing tea such as jasmine, oolong, mint, constant comment, green leaves with orange peel, or peppermint will enhance your discussion of what we will read. How comfy is that?  This group will appeal to diverse women in their 40's or 50's who enjoy laughing and crying over a good read. If you feel as if you would …

All Widows and Widowers of all ages are welcome to join us over Tea and Beverages to chat about similar likeminded interests. A great place to feel supported and find comfort in those who are sharing similar experiences.

Welcome Tea Time Chat - An Exclusive Meet up and Online Chatting Group. "Attractive people surrounded by interesting conversation." You are entering yourself into a new world of excitement, adventures and possibly love.

Are you frustrated with an out of control government? Do you feel like you're the only one waiving a red flag and nobody's listening? Come join us once a month at a local bar for a beer and an opportunity for you to vent your frustrations and meet like minded people. You don't have to be an official Tea Party or 912 member. I believe it's important for us to establish a face to face local like minded community NOW to help all of us face the music in what's most likely to come in the near future. …

The Potomac Tea and Knife Society is a local gaming group which focuses mostly on organizing Diplomacy games. Generally, we have Diplomacy games about once a month (though Diplomacy is definitely not the only game we play and enjoy during these get-togethers). We are located all throughout Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Any and all interested players are welcome and invited! Whether you are an old hand looking to get into a game, or just interested in learning how to play, …

I love to read books, but often feel the need to share them with others. Since, I live in a very liberal area - I thought I would start a book club for those of us conservatives who are reading the same books and would like to discuss them. Although, I am not a 912er, I would welcome any members or anyone who is interested in reading and discussing conservative books. I am open to suggestions on books. I just read a book recommended by Glenn Beck, written by Andy Andrews called "How to Kill 11 M …

We meet every Thursday evening at the La Madeline Restaurant at the Mid-Pike Plaza on Rockville Pike to share knitting and crochet advice projects, new patterns, yarn, show-and-tell our WIP's (works-in-progress) and FO's (finished objects), and talk about just anything.  Feel free to bring other needlecraft projects, too, and don't let problem projects keep you away. Bring them too - there is always help to be found at our meetings.

This group aims to provide a means for people in the state of Maryland to discuss and organize activity that is committed to the principles of liberty and limited government as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.

Love graphic novels? Wish you could meet with fellow readers for interesting discussion? Same here. Let's meetup and talk about great graphic novels (and maybe have a glass of beer or wine on the side! ⎯perhaps tea and crumpets while reading From Hell?) Join us in exploring all genres and styles, from Watchmen and V for Vendetta to Maus and Persepolis (with a liberal sprinkling of Jhonen Vasquez, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller and others in between).

Are you a newcomer to the DC/VA/MD area from the South? Have you made any of the following observations? - The restaurants don't serve sweet tea. - People here don't follow college sports. - It takes a half an hour to drive somewhere three miles away. - Nobody holds the door open or says "thank you" when you do. - The charm and hospitality you grew up with doesn't seem to fit in. Don't despair! Transitioning into DC life is hard, but the good news is you don't have to do it alone. Southern Comfo …
