You are allowed to bring family and/or friends to our movies as long as you remain a member and they are open minded about our group and treat our members with t …

Cats who lounged around, pretending to be hard of hearing, until the whir of the can-opener proved otherwise. These animals had once been loved, cherished, and part o …

However, Meetup seems to send their own "auto" email reminders that I have no control over, (along with additional emails attached to other meetup groups that I'm not connected to), so you may get additional "auto" emails anyway. My apologies for this, but there's really nothing I can do since I get them too. - Remember, that Meetup is a bu …
