I've met many new people, some just passing through and some locals giving me the scoop on SB around the fire pit. At the last gathering we officially adopted each other and be …

This is a group for women in their mid 20's thru 30's to get together, have fun, and create new friendships. Looking to have a group of ladies who may want to go shopping, out to lunch, have a fun night out, hit the beach or art gallery, get an exercise buddy, or just stay home and chat.
