The Houston Heights has plenty of fab things to do, but I couldn't find any groups that seemed to monopolize on that…. Did I miss one? Because I will surely close this one down ASAP and bow at the feet of someone else who wants to take on “organizer” and then RSVP to all the events I want so badly to be taking place. This all started on the Great Quest of 2011 to find people who wanted to group together to ride cruiser bicycles…. Alas, there are plenty of mountain biking groups who wanted to t …

We're gamers based in the Kingwood area, looking for other gamers to play games with.  While this group was started with the idea of "not having to drive out too far to game", we have many members that drive out to play with us.  I daresay that's a good sign. When we say "games", we mean role-playing games, board games, card games, and vidya games.  Here's a not-at-all brief list of what we've been obsessed with lately - and we're not opposed to adding to the list: Pathfinder Society Dungeons & …

This group is geared towards any and all female runners/walkers or would be runners/walkers, living in or around the Kingwood area. I am a runner myself and found it difficult at first to find others to run with. Meeting up with a group is so important to me to keep doing what I love, I find it keeps me motivated to get out the door and get my run in if I know I have friends expecting me. I keep hearing from women in this area how they want to e.g. get out early and run but it's dark, they don't …

Socialization for challenging dogs. I am raising I litter of 8 month old puppies who are all afraid of strangers which causes problems at the Vet, Dog Park etc... Being fairly new to Texas I see that it's hard to get skittish dogs socialized. My proposal is that we help each other. If you have a dog that's not yet stable enough for doggy daycare or well behaved with strangers and you want to change that then lets work together to socialize our dogs.

It's a non confrontational, non competitive, small group of women who enjoy...nature, walking, lunches, hosting pa …

Its mission is to help its members improve their communication, public speaking and leadership skills. Real Talk Toastmasters is a f …
