The East Bay Chihuahua Meetup is a new group of SF East Bay dog owners and their amazing Chihuahuas and chi-mixes (and other small dogs). Join us today to help make this group grow and to celebrate these little dogs and their unique sense of fun and adventures. We would like to especially encourage dog rescue members since so many Chihuahua's and Chi-mixes are adopted here in the East Bay, via ARF, Berkeley shelters and other groups! And if your little one might crave a bit of agility under that …

Then this is the group for you! I want to make this group about having a good time and establishing solid relationships. Making female friends on the other hand requires you to put in a little more effort – but it is a relationship that can last. We will aim to have a wide variety of events which will …

Hello there, "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" welcome you to our amazing group. Founded by Dorian and Nick, two close friends of over ten years, this group is all about having fun and meeting new folks.

Everybody has a few close-nit friends that they would take a bullet for, and vise versa, but why not expand your network of friends so that fewer bullets will hit you... …

The hope is for us to be able to find some local people who like to do whatever it is we like to do or, at the least, meet some cool people in the area.  We've got some great local resources out here, and we're well situated for esc …

My wife and I just moved from the North Bay where I had a weekly D&D group to the East Bay (Concord) where we don't know anyone. I'm not interested in starting another D&D/RPG group, as it just eats up too much of my time/energy and my work schedule has become too unpredictable to allow me to play steady at a D&D table right now. I work at a Hotel and work some weird hours (swings and graveyards) and my days off can shift around. That's why I'm looking to start a more casual gaming group. This w …

This is a group for anyone interested in Radio control flight, including helicopters and airplanes. Pilots at all levels are welcome, from hovering to hardcore 3D. I have decided to start a group because the network of R/C Pilots in the East bay is limited, and there are not really many groups that get together and fly. There is not a whole lot of tuning and repair help available to new pilots, short of going to a shop and paying someone to fix their helis. This takes the learning element of the …

This is a group for Persian moms of little ones. If you're like us, you often hear people speaking Farsi in places like downtown Walnut Creek or Danville and wonder, 'Where do these families gather?' Perhaps you are Iranian but your partner is not, and it is increasingly important to you that your child(ren) is exposed to Iranian language, culture, and people. Our goal is to unite these mommies (preferably of children 5 and younger) for occasional play dates and Persian fun with other children. …
