What we’re about
If you live in Pacifica or just love hanging out in Pacifica and are looking to make new friends while taking advantage of all of the unique opportunities this area offers than this is the group for you! I started this group because after living in Pacifica for six years I am interested in spending more time locally and building a community of like minded people. Possible meet ups include hiking, picnics, dining out, bowling, happy hours, yoga ( led by Debbie, one of the members), etc. Suggestions welcome!
