This group is for women in the Boston area who want to form lasting friendships. Once you have kids your free time starts to dwindle, so why not make some new friends with other moms to go on playdates or even have a nice kid free night out to try a new restaurant, movie, comedy show??

Hello, this group is all about going to the movies, well that and the occasional play. Much of what we will see will be local to Stamford, but there will be out of town events as opportunities arise. In keeping with our origins as a group dedicated to "art films" there will be allot of independent and less main stream choices. There will also be the chance to get together for new blockbusters, for drama, action, comedy and science fiction. Just about anything goes.

Give back while having a great time!! Come dance, socialize, join in a game, comedy or fun theme night. Bring your friends and make new ones. All proceeds from these events will be given to local charities. Events are approximately once a month. Events are hosted and sponsored by the Framingham Masonic Lodge.
