-ING Groups

What is an -ING group?

• The -ING group title comes from many of the group names ending in “-ING”, such as: BowlING, ExplorING, SewING, RunnING, BicyclING, GolfING, PinterestING, BarbecuING, etc.  It is a weekly meetup to participate in an activity suggested by the group name.  There will be roughly 10+ groups identified for the summer 2025 period.

In what time frame will they be occurring?

• Groups will begin meeting on or after June 2nd and will wrap up by the end of August.

When and where do attendees meet?

• The group lead will publish a meeting schedule, with a meeting day/night that is mutually based on leader’s and participants’ availability.

Do I need to sign up for a group?

• Yes.  You may sign up for more than one group, if you like.

Can I invite a friend to attend with me?

• Generally, yes, but check with the group leader on this.

Do I have to attend every group meetup?

• No, but it is preferred to attend when you are able! We understand Summer is busy with vacations and family activities.

Is there a cost?

• Possibly.  Your group leader will indicate this when leaders are finalized; that information will also be published here once groups are finalized.  For example, a BowlING group would require you to pay for games and shoe rental.

Can I create/suggest a group?

• Certainly.  If the group name you provide is not very revealing, you should include additional detail of what you have in mind.
