The first rule of NoshMob? We don't talk about NoshMob. What we can tell you? We're a roving band of foodists* on a mission to eat our way through the Bay Area. Mostly Sonoma County. But we're not about to limit ourselves with things like county lines. Once a week we flock together like hungry swallows, mobbing a local restaurant, sharing our experiences, filling our bellies, laughing our asses off and leaving behind a wake of crumbs, crusts and generous tips. We then write about our experie …

The purpose of this group is to model for our children that caring, loving, successful educated families come in all flavors. Our children are ei …

     If you are an educator and would like to connect with other educators for fun and social events...then this would be for you. The focus would be what we call at my school site a "Morale Club".  The focus is on fun and camaraderie, not a political front.  Living in Northern California provides many beautiful locations and opportunities to have fun, especially during some of those well-earned vacations. Being an educator is a social and creative craft so I am sure we can come up with some gre …

Written by Caroline, (one of our founding group members): "I meet countless, spirited women in Sonoma County who exclaim, "I love to dance!" My ears perk up. When I ask with equal brightness where they dance, their faces fall. Sometimes they say they go to Marin or Sebastopol. Most of the time they answer, heartbreakingly, "I don't." Instantly, something in me rails against this answer! It's not okay that we don't dance! I hear shouted in the wine cellar of my soul. Dancing is an integra …

This is a group for young people that would like to further explore their area, wine taste, do something fun after work or just meet new people in the North Bay. When I went to search for a group that offered these types of things for people up to the age of 30, I noticed that nothing existed. If you are up to the age of 30 and are looking to explore the North Bay area and meet new people, whether it be after work or school, this is the group for you!
