Clubs and Organizations - Social Groups
Whether your organization is a large charitable group, or simply a
Friday night poker club looking for new members, my readers might
want to know about you.  Send me a blurb (don't forget to include
contact info), and I'll post it here.

Please check out the Navigation Bar to the left.  As you can see, I
have sub-divided this section to make it easier to find things.
The Jewish Gay and Lesbian Social Group of Houston
This wonderful group of 100+ men and women is sponsored by the Jewish
Community Center.  Their events range from happy hours, gay bingo, sedar
dinner at the synagogue, to the big up scale event... the annual Chanukah
Party.   Hmmmmm, in the spirit of stereotyping, shouldn't their activities
include kvetching, matchmaking and mah jongg?  I'll have to speak to them
about that!  Anyway, this is a strong and very active group, and they
welcome new members with open arms.  For more info,
 email Dianna
Howard.

Houston Women's Hippie Group  
The goal of the group is to create a social network for gay women who live
in Houston or other surrounding areas.  HWHG is a diverse social group,
who socialize through a fusion of crafts, music, meditation, literature, the
dramatic arts, poetry, fashion, visual arts, including film, and photography.
The group meets weekly to take pleasure in the following activities noted
above.  The members of HWHG are called hippies because the mission of
the group is to create an environment where women with similar interest
can meet to enjoy activities within an intentionally loving bohemian
community.   For more information, contact
Mary Dunn.
   
Wine Club
Looking to try new wines, meet new friends and eat great food?  Then
Houston's GLBT Wine Club is the spot for you!   In addition to monthly
get-togethers, the club also participates in many events throughout Texas
and sponsors trips to local Texas vineyards and wineries.   But remember,
what happens in Wine Club STAYS in Wine Club!  To join,
check out their
yahoo group page.
   
Social Group for North Side Glibbits
Living outside the loop doesn't mean you have to BE outside the loop! The
goal for this group is to create a social network for GLBT folks who live in
the North/NW side of Houston or other surrounding areas such as Spring,
the Woodlands, Conroe, Kingwood, Champions Forest, Cypress, Copperfield,
etc. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to meet up with friends who have the
same interests as you, and NOT have to take the long drive into the
gayborhood just to hang out and meet with other GLBT folks?

Any ideas, interests, or general stuff you would like to post, feel free... It
would be nice to NOT have one-liners like Hello... posted for the group, but
let's all get to know each other, and play nice! To join the group,

Lesbians Over Age Fifty (LOAF)
LOAF is a Houston social networking and support group (and as a result,
rather apolitical) for lesbians over age 50 and their partners, whatever
their age. LOAF meets the third Sunday of each month at the home of
Arden Eversmeyer and Charlotte Avery, on 1034 West 17th.  Evenly
represented with single and coupled women, LOAF currently has about 80
active members.  Call 713/869-1482 for more information.

Another Social Group for Women Over 40
Well, apparently the women over 40 are an organizing sort of bunch!    
Here is yet another group devoted to women in their prime.  I wonder if
the two groups will have a rumble to see who's best?  Oh - you know us
lesbians....they'll probably just all get together for a Pot Luck!  Anywho,
this group says that they focused on singles, and are "not a politically
correct group".  They get together for house parties, dinners at
restaurants, moving watching, and they are rumored to be planning a
weekend trip.  We would love to have anyone join who would like a great
group of professional, single, women.
