Parents have through the years made their friends and started new groups around interests of theirs, and these groups have been meeting for years.  An online Google group connects friends virtually and the regular meetings in person give a great way to see friends when you have time.

Have an idea for a new group?  Let us know!  We’ll help you get started and you can run it your way.  info@tarbuton.org
