Lake Oswego is such a dog friendly town, it's a great place to play with the pooches.  Dogs and their owners have a regular doggy play date so they get to get have friends too! This group is for well mannered and frolicky dogs who love to play with other dogs, or might be shy so gives them a chance to socialize.  Our Meetups will be at various parks and dog friendly venues around the area. Some events will be themed, family/picnic/bbque/singles/costumes/dog parties/etc. Come and check it out, wh …

Come out and make new friends with some card playing folk who like Canasta. Remember playing this card game as a kid? Well lets play again. Please join us.

Our group fosters community and meetups for card players outside the Poker tables (Poker is well-covered by many other meetups).  Meet nearby players and enjoy friendly competition.  Play old favorites and try out new ones. We can play and teach well known card games like Spades, Hearts, Euchre, Bid Whist, Pinochle, Cribbage, Big Two, and Tarot, as well as similar tile games like Mah-Jong and Dominos, but our house of cards offers many more games than just these!  Don't miss Tichu, D …

I started this group because I wanted to play boardgames on Wednesday nights in SE Portland.    Since you don't need to RSVP, the number of players on a given night will vary.  It's more of a free-form, do-what-you-want event than a reservation-style one. Don't be fooled by our classiness!  We play it all; Euros, casual games, classic games, etc. Bring some games, have fun and say hi to each other!

This group was created for special needs children aged 6 and under, developmentally delayed and their parents and siblings, to play together and socialize. The idea is that so many of our children need extra work and attention. Meeting other parents of special needs children can be great because they understand each other, and can help each other in many ways. I imagine we all have a lot in common. Children with special needs are especially in need of social skills. Why not develop them together …

We are a group of Texas Hold'em players that gets together to play poker and have fun. Buy-ins start at $25.

This group is for pug owners in the Stafford, West Linn and Lake Oswego areas (or nearby!). I'd like to meet other pug-parents, and their dogs, for weekly playtime in the Hazelia Field at Luscher Farm dog park. I'm also interested in indoor play areas for pugs.

Meet friendly toy, mini, and small breed owners near you! Come to a local Small Breed Meetup to let your lil' one play safely with other under 20 lbs adults and puppies -- all shapes, types and breeds of pee-wees and people are welcome!   Usually meets every Sunday of the month at 11am- if weather permits. Check the calendar, but if the weather is nice, chances are, we'll all be there!   Meets are canceled if it's a real downpour or muddy conditions, but a little drizzle won't stop us!

If you've been curious about European/Non-traditional board games, (also called Euros), or simply want to meet new people, join us! There's quite a few gaming groups in Portland already, but after hosting my own co-ed group for several years I've found that not nearly as many women as men game so I decided to start this group as an alternative. New players and all ages/orientations of women are welcome. Those who want to teach a specific game to the group are particularly encouraged to contact m …

Join us to meet other local Portland area parents and caregivers who want to teach their babies sign language (ASL signs). No experience is needed! Come, play & sign with us! *please note* As of summer 2011, this group is on hiatus indefinitely.  For information on classes and events, please visit us at: www.portlandearlylearning.com

Let's get our Bichon and Bichon mix Breed Dogs together for a play date!

… Come on out and play, make some new friends, enjoy activities, comraderie, and entertainment with a slightly sophisticated edge.

Today I became the organizer for this group. I am pretty new to guitar, having started playing in September, 2010. I am looking to see if there are any advanced or intermediate guitarists who would be interested in leading sessions that are focused on the intermediate and advanced guitarists.  So I took over the group from Lance because I wanted to play with others. I thought the best means of doing that would be by keeping the group intact. I had not been to any meetups prior to assuming leader …

We are a diverse group of poker players (family, friends, and acquaintances), who have been playing together since 1998ish, when the movie “Rounders” emancipated us from backward basement games of baseball, 7 card draw, wild card poker, etc. We play most importantly for competitive fun and social entertainment. Our group has remained together because we all share a love for poker and a mutual respect for one another. Friends and guests of all ages and skill levels play the game weekly. Anyon …

If you own an English Bulldog, you've found one of the largest play/support groups for the breed and their parents (that's you!). We meet to socialize our bullies and discuss health, behavioral and other support issues. Mostly the dogs just play. However, if you are facing some behavioral or health problems, it's most likely that one of our members is going or went through similiar issues you face. As a member, you can draw from the vast experiences of our membership. Each meetup is a little …
