What we’re about
Want to meet fun and active people, socialize, and make lasting friendships? This is a smaller social group, so we tend to get to know each other better, and we have a blast at our events! We hold events on both the East side and West side of Cuyahoga County, nearby Counties, and we occasionally venture further out for day trips! We have a positive and energetic vibe going in this group with an emphasis on a safe and fun environment.
GROUP POLICIES:
- You must have a profile picture with a clear view of your face and use your real first name to join. (You're photo must be of you, not a pic of just your pet, not an abstract art pic, etc.)
- As of July 9, 2025, Dues are current $3 if paid via Meetup or PayPal, and $2 if paying cash in person. Dues are used to support the Meetup fee for the group which is hundreds of dollars for me, so a couple bucks is a bargain for you! To better support keeping dues down, pay cash in person or via PayPal, because otherwise Meetup takes a cut! (message me if you want to pay via Paypal)
- Dues are NOT refundable! See the "More on Dues" section
- Members in good standing can host events - send me a message if interested!
- Per Meetup policies, membership in this group is at the discretion of the Organizer.
EVENTS AND POLICIES - No discussion of politics or other divisive topics. Keep things friendly!
- Bad behavior at any event, in chats, in comments, or with organizer/event hosts will result in immediate removal and you will be banned from re-joining.
- If you RSVP you are expected to show up. If something comes up and you can't make it, it is super easy to just change your RSVP! See the Attendance Policy below
- You join and attend events at your own risk, and AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS Meetup, the Group Organizer, and the Event Hosts from any loss, liability, damage or cost, including court costs and attorney's fees, that they may incur due to your participation in said activity, WHETHER CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE OF RELEASEES or otherwise.
- ATTENDANCE POLICY
- If there is a Wait List, Members and Trial Members in Good Standing will be given priority. Good Standing means you do not have a chronic history of No Shows, or very Late Dropping out. People with a history of No Shows, Very Late, and/or Chronic Late Dropping Out will be moved to the Wait List (if you haven't already been removed from the group!).
- MORE ON DUES:
- After your trial period ends, if Dues aren't paid then Meetup will automatically drop you from the group and any events you registered for (you are put into "Awaiting Dues" status). To re-join and attend events you have to pay the Dues. Meetup will send a reminder to pay a few days before a person's trial expires. At least once a year, the "Awaiting Dues" list will be purged, people on that list are welcome to rejoin.
- Dues are NOT refundable, unless this group is dissolved within 3 months of paying your dues. Make sure you want to be in/stay in this group before you pay dues. Not attending any events is NOT a justifiable reason for requesting a dues refund, and dues will NOT be refunded. Violating a group policy which ends up in being removed from the group is NOT a justifiable reason for requesting a dues refund, and dues will NOT be refunded. Leaving the group after paying dues is NOT a justifiable reason for requesting a dues refund, and dues will NOT be refunded. The only time dues will be refunded is if this group is dissolved within 3 months of paying your dues.
- To check your dues status:
- click on your profile picture then
- under WYGTYA! group click "Membership Details".
- THANKS, AND NOW LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

- PLEASE NOTE: This is a large venue site with a variety of concurrent activities. I cannot guarantee that the group will always be together, but every hour or so I will post here in comments where we are. If you are a slow walker, can't keep up, want to move faster, or want to do/see a different part of the festival bring a friend or be comfortable being on your own. You don't have to arrive at 3:00 pm, come whenever you want, stay as long as you want.
- I will bring W! name tags so we can quickly identify group members while roaming the site (optionally you can put your first name on it). Check in with me on arrival to get a name tag, to figure out where I am check the comments section.
