In 2009, after looking for a group in the Fairfax City area for sewers/knitters/quilters, etc. and not finding one quite close enough, I figured why not start one? Our group is for people looking to stitch with a group to complete all those projects we've started and not completed, and to gain inspiration from others on new projects. Our group is very diverse in experience level, age, and craft. I think that has led to the most fun! No two meet ups are ever the same.

I am a newbie to crochet and want to learn more. I am not able to go outside the area to other crochet events, so I decided to see if there is a want for a crochet social in the Woodbridge/Dale City area. If so---Great! I really want to learn from other crochet professionals or newbies like myself so we could use our crafts for Care Packages for soldiers or for our local hospitals, shelters. I would be great to make it into a regular class for our youth. There is soo many avenues I would love to …

This is a group for anyone interested in crafting. I personally have just gotten started in jewelry making a bit. I also sew and crochet. Not sure where this group may go, if the right sorta people join and really get involved, the sky's the limit. I looked and there isn't anything local in the area other then driving for me 45 minutes, so I decided to start a group in the area and see how it goes. I hope you join and help make it a fun time and meet fantastic people. All skill levels welcome.

FAHA (Fredericksburg Area Homeschoolers’ Association) began as more than a homeschool support group. It started as an intentional community, secular, close-knit, and like-minded.

New members have been attracted to some or all of these values and interests and we’re a strong, connected community. We live aro …

To be frank I am looking for good people to hang out with during the weekday. I jealously reserve the weekends and evenings to spend with my spouse. Age, sex, and all the rest does not matter. The interests are all mine and are not required either. This is in no way a dating group. I simply enjoy talking to people and learning about their lives. All meetups will be in public places, so no worries. Hope to see you soon.

Do you ever feel like your not really connecting with people in your community? Me too. The most fundamental revelation of neuroscience is that our brains are wired to connect. The Roseto Effect (see below) mystified scientific investigators for years when they studied the inhabitants of Roseto, Pennsylvania in the 1960’s. The Rosetans defied statistics with unhealthy habits yet flourished with good health. Why? This cohesive close knit community nourished each other with a high degree of emotio …
