Meetup locally with other people who like to cook. Trade recipes, tips, ideas, cookbooks, and discuss all the magic in the kitchen! We will also incorporate wine and occasional dining out at some great locally chef-owned restaurants too! You don't need to be a chef or a "great" cook to join the group.....just someone (or a couple) that loves food and creating in the kitchen! Because many of these events will be taking place in private homes, I ask that all members post a photo(s) of themself …

I started this group to bring single karaoke enthusiasts together. If you are a single adult who is 21 or older and you are looking to meet other single people who also love to sing karaoke then you should probably join. We are new so join up. We plan to have karaoke meets several times a week, along with other single social gatherings and activities. 

Tired of being the only one at the bar wanting to watch NHL games? We get a decent group together a couple times a month and go watch NHL games that are being televised.

The goal of our group is to explore and experience the unique culture of Portland and the northwest. What makes us different is that we are very active with at least 20 events on the calendar per month. Most of the events are done on foot, but some are simply showing up at a particular destination for fun. Events include: Dining and entertainment walks (highlighting great restaurants, happy hours, wine tastings and entertainment opportunities in the Portland area). Narrated walking tours of Por …

Our group is based on inclusion, not exclusion. The group started as two guys (Darren & Tom) with lots of interests that liked to do things with others and meet new people. Our events are based on the activity and having people with diverse interests meet each other. Usually the only requirement is the activity sounds like fun. Anyone Can Join!

My name is Shelly, welcome to my group page! I took my first cake decorating class at the community center when I was 17 years old, and my mom bought me six tips and a little spatula. I kept that little kit for a few years, and then I discovered a supply shop, and made a cake with pink elephants for my husband's 21st birthday. I was hooked! From that early experience, I took other classes, practiced and learned from other decorators, and proceeded to master my craft. I went on to do special occa …

Rumor has it that Portland has the best selection of happy hours in the U.S. Well, let's find out! Stop making unfulfilled resolutions about meeting new people and making new friends. Join a group of other Portlanders that are creating a sense of community. Although these events provide a great opportunity to network, please be respectful and don't try to sell products or services during events unless otherwise pre-arranged with me. I feel strongly about practicing sustainability so I rarely h …
