I have visited many churches in the DMV area, and found a lack of social activities for the thirty something and up age range...too old for the young adult group, but no where near the 50+ group.  I figured if I am having this challenge, there must be others that are also. Whether it's cultural activities, dining out, biking, hiking, festivals, game night, bowling, weekend trips, sporting events, and so much more, our goal is to always have positive fun and support our family in Christ. Although …

Black Is Beautiful Travel Group Black is Beautiful Travel Group was created because I want to travel with others more like myself. Whether it's a day trip, a short weekend get away, a week long vacation internationally or a once in a lifetime dream destination, our possibilities are endless. I find it alarming that "we" travel far less than any other race. I hope to change that in "our" community with this group. I also find that "we" come up with so many reasons as to why "we" don't travel. Fro …

I'm a travel lover with a particular passion for rainforests and other "wild" destinations. (I don't go by "Junglelanddan" in other forums for no reason, although, admittedly, there's a Springsteen connection, too) Whether it's exploring the rainforests of Costa Rica or the reefs off Belize and Honduras, or going down the Amazon in Peru, or doing hikes in the majesty of Denali or Glacier National Parks, I can't get enough, and want to do more... and more. I'm looking to meet folks with a shared …

As a mother, it is normal for you to want a good relationship with your tweenage/teenage daughter. While you may want her to come to you with her problems and go shopping with her on the weekend, she may not feel the same way. Instead of spending time with you, she might prefer being with her friends. Let's support each other in strengthening our relationships with our daughter(s) by attending 1 or 2 monthly outings. This will give us a chance to meet new people, create friendships, and while at …
