We are a group of skeptics, atheists, agnostics and the nonreligious cognizant of the pitfalls of groupthink or any in-group/out-group labels and behaviors. As skeptics we attempt to prefers beliefs and conclusions that are reliable and valid to ones that are comforting or convenient, and therefore rigorously and openly apply the methods of science and reason to all empirical claims, especially their own. A skeptic provisionally proportions acceptance of any claim to valid logic and a fair and thorough assessment of available evidence, and studies the pitfalls of human reason and the mechanisms of deception so as to avoid being deceived by others or themselves. Skepticism values method over any particular conclusion. Join us for casual discussions and events with other like-minded people. All memberships will be reviewed at six month intervals. If you have not attended any events in that period you membership may be terminated. However, you can rejoin at any point thereafter if you do find future attendance will be possible.
Are you interested in meeting other couples who choose to eat whole food plant-based meals? We enjoy our nutritious foods - we feel good and would like to share restaurants, monthly potlucks and get-togethers with other positive, like-minded couples. We lean towards meals with minimal SOS - which is salt, oil and sugar. We are located in Southwest Florida on the Gulf Coast.
Our club is for small dogs who love to meet, mingle and have fun. We were formed in 2007 and our gatherings usually have a theme or activity. They are a great way to get to know other small dog owners and have a good time with our little canines. Be prepared to have some fun.
Do you love small dogs? Do you love books? Do you love coffee, tea and lively discussion? Then join us for some fun! Each month we will get together at Leashes End senior pet sanctuary to discuss interesting books about dogs.

In order to join SDOE and remain a member, you must have a RECOGNIZABLE photo of your FACE on your SDOE profile. You are subject to removal from this group without a recognizable photo. - RSVP REQUIRED. You must RSVP for events in which you will participate. No walk-ups or "crashers". Event Hosts will often place a limit on the number participants. Please don't just show up. This also includes bringing a guest without an RSVP. - GUESTS. For most events, guests are allowed. But, check the event listing or with the event host if there is a question. If you bring a guest (+1), you are responsible for your guest. Please stay with your guest over the hike. - NO SHOWS. If you are unable to attend an event for which you have an "RSVP", change it to "No - Not Attending", as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be marked "NO SHOW". Members with more than 2 NO SHOWS are subject to removal or suspension. At the discretion of the Event Host, a last minute change from "RSVP" to "NO" may be marked as a NO SHOW, particularly if there are others on the Waitlist hoping to participate. - DONATION. The San Diego Outdoor Enthusiasts asks for a voluntary $5 per year donation to help cover the yearly cost to Meetup. You may make an online donation here: http://www.meetup.com/San-Diego-Outdoor-Enthusiasts/sponsors/ - PARTICIPATE. We are moving toward having a group of engaged and active members. If you find this is not what you are looking for, you are welcome to remove yourself. Members are expected to participate in at least 1 event every 90 days. Lack of regular participation will subject a member to removal from the group, but individual circumstances will be considered. - SAFETY and COURTESY. Safety is our number one concern for each of our events. Stay with the group as instructed by the leader. In addition, everyone is expected to exhibit courtesy and respect during our events. Do not expect others to supply equipment, food, necessities, or other items without prior arrangements. Expect to fairly compensate drivers in car pools. - BE PLEASANT. Be nice. Thank the Event Host. Make the events an enjoyable experience for all. Organizers put significant effort into events, please leave positive feed back in the Comments section after the event. Please know that members who ignore these guidelines are subject to suspension or removal from SDOE. Severe violations will result in permanent removal. (updated 10-7-16)
