There are definitely many singles who are also vegetarian/vegan (or at least singles who like vegetarian/vegan food) in the SoCal region, interested in meeting people of the opposite gender.  Many people who fit these characteristics are very busy and don't have the time to search and find compatible people. That's where this group can definitely help out. Health conscious people usually have many other common aspects besides what they eat (or don't eat) such as the basic one--many are actually …

It's time to get to the beach and party! I decided to start this group because I've always been envious of the larger groups of people hanging out together at the beach on weekends.

Divorced, widowed, and never-married Boomers: many of us are ill-prepared for retirement whether because of divorce, poor financial choices, or simply being blindsided by the economic downturn. I personally was a stay-at-home mother for many years (wonderful in so many ways, but not so good when it comes to a retirement plan). Then I got a divorce (community property is often a myth). THEN I went back to school (thinking – naively – that earning degrees would help me get a better job). THEN the …
