Are you someone who enjoys group games but can’t always find people to play with?  Do you enjoy the challenge and thrill of the game as much as hanging out with your friends?  This group may be for you.

Many of our events are geared toward specific types of games, and our event postings will detail what you can expect at an event.  For all events, we do ask that you ad …

I have been picking tree mushrooms for the past 50 years. My parents would take us out for a family day searching the maple-treed back roads of New England for Oyster Mushrooms. Over the years I've expanded my search to Clustered Coral, Hen of the Woods and Chicken Mushrooms. This Meetup group is for the mushroom lover that wants to expand their edible fungi repertoire, go out for a mushroom hunt or two, exchange photos of prized catches, and maybe cook up a tasty dish for a group gathering. I …

I have been seeing, hearing and feeling spirit my whole life. I am a devoted student of life and a passionate believer that our loved ones who have passed on continue to communicate with us long after their bodies have left this earth—if we learn how to hear them. There is nothing more healing than to give or receive an evidential message from our loved ones in spirit. I believe that each of us has that gift to some degree.  For those who wish to develop their extra-sensory gifts, I offer class …

We generally play on Salem Common but we are always open to other suggestions. Anyone is welcome to host a frisbee event, just let us know when and where and we'll post it.

We love everything technology (old or new), are willing to wait in line to see the new Burton, Cameron, Jackson, Scott, or Spielberg  flick on opening night (with no shame for smuggling in snacks from the grocery store) and love role-playing in whatever form it takes: pen and paper, live-action or online. We have clothing (not costumes) in our closet that would fit well in the 16th century or the 23rd century. We can master any interest that piques our curiosity, whether it be making crème brule …

My events cover all aspects of photography including studio and location workshops, photo critique nights, digi …

I just moved to Salem (from the South Shore) in November. I thought it would be nice to get together with others who have recently relocated here so we can discover all the North Shore has to offer together. I am open to any type of activities the group shows interest in. I enjoy socializing (dining, drinks & apps), outdoor activities (hiking, beaches, bicycling), movies, plays, sporting events, and more. I just hope to provide a way for myself and others to meet some new friends to do these thi …

We plan to meet at least once per month at a local venue that allows us to bring our own wine. There are several great places in the North Shore we can enjoy wine and food in a casual, fun, and interesting atmosphere. I am a wine educator based on the North Shore.  Since I love wine, food, and socializing, I have been lucky enough to discover places from …

Hi there! I want to start a book club that focuses on non-fiction reads -- mostly what I tend to read are books about health and wellness, travel, animals, biographies, business, and in general, real things. I feel like I am alone out there, because every other book club I see is totally based on reading novels and other works of fiction. Unfortunately, it is rare for me to really enjoy a novel! I would love to see if other people in the area are interested in reading about the "real" stuff and …

We finished Twin Peaks, and now we're on to Firefly. Welcome to Serenity! We meet, watch the show, drink coffee and eat homemade pie (different recipe each week) and occasionally homemade doughnuts. Good, clean, geeky fun :):)

This is a book club for people who are open to reading many different types of writing. I'm starting this group because I haven't found one that was open to various types of literature.
