The Heart Link Network group for woman is part of an international woman's networking organization with chapters in over 200 locations. When I was learning about the unique way that The Heart Link Network functions I was intrigued and then on searching for a local group I found that the closest one was almost 2 hours away! It was then that I investigated and decided to start a chapter here in the Shenandoah Valley in November 2011.  Now there are over 10 chapters for the state of Virginia alone!

Socializing group for women . This is a new group, so I am open to ideas to make it grow.

The purpose of this group is to give those who love to read, but who may have a different schedule than the regular 9 to 5, a book club of their own. I (the organizer) have an unusual schedule and cannot be part of a book club that meets in the evenings, though I love to read and am very passionate about books. So I decided to start a book club of my own. We will meet once a month during a week day. Once I get enough interested people, perhaps we can decide on the day that would work best for ev …

Like board games and card games? Queer? Come play games, eat chips, and drink beer in a non-weird and yet organized way. You don't need to know how to play, you don't need a date, and you don't need to drink to bring a new game to the table or to try your hand at beating the pants off everyone else. Pro-football fans who are passionate but not fanatical are particularly encouraged. We'll typically meet one Saturday a month at someone's home and play games from 7ish to 10ish. Depending on our num …

Looking to meet other like minded women. I'm a mom of 3 (from 1-13). Somewhat new to the area and not sure how to make friends for me and my youngest. I would like this to turn into life lasting friendships. We can get together for playdates, coffee, crafts, to talk about life love and whatever. We can start a work out support group. If you're anything like me you want to exercise but do better with a companion. Maybe we can even have a few nights out on the town without the kids! I'm in my 30's …

As a new Momma-to-Be, I'd love to meet other Mommas / Mommas-to-Be in the area. Every Momma needs a little "me time." What better way to relax than with a book?! I'd love to invite all of you into a monthly book club, where we can discuss recent reads, vote on upcoming reads, chat about all the great (and sometimes not so great...) things about being a momma, and just get in a little R&R before heading back into our hectic lives of motherhood. Depending on the size of the group, we can take turn …

This is a group for ladies who don't have (and are *not* interested in having) children and who would enjoy meeting and hanging out socially with other, likeminded women in the area. Perhaps, like many of us, you have seen your social circles become smaller or more challenging over the years as your established friends start having babies, leaving you with less time to spend together, less in common to talk about, etc. Ideally, this will be an outlet for us to speak freely and make new acquainta …

We would like to build a community of individuals interested in Krav Maga and self-defense in general. We hope this group will fill the gap left by the absence of a dedicated Krav Maga school in the area. We would like to start with monthly seminars on topics ranging from basic self-defense to fighting on the ground to dealing with threats with knives or pistols. No previous experience is required.
