This group is on temporary hold as I am running the Akron Poker league. If you would like to play some great poker with a great group of people please visit www.meetup.com/akronpokerleague
Thank you for your interest. I enjoy learning and playing the game of NL poker. It's definitely the more you know, the more you know that you don't know. I'm in my 5th year of 'learning' and I love the game, the shared common interest with other local players and the excursions to local and not-so-local places to play.
I realize that time is tight for myself and many other players in the area that take this game seriously.. and it is my dedication to offer the best and rewarding game(s) in the area. We have 2 professional tables and one has a ShuffleTech Shuffler installed in it! Our league games are run professionally and with as great an atmosphere as can be had. If you can only get out once a week or so to play, it is my goal to make this the one you want to go to.
We also run higher buy in and satellite games too. These are usually held on a Friday night and buy ins range from $100 to $250. These games will have professional dealers and food brought in.
This poker meetup is a HOME game and done for fun & learning. I strive for prefection and do not derrive income from this meetup. Please click on the Calendar section to see our next meetup!

With our group projects, LHO also teaches the art of indie film making through hands-on implementation of each members skills and talents. Becoming a member is easy. Come to a meeting, sign up and if you choose to participate in our projects, we'll fill you in on times, location and so on. There are no dues.

Local Co-ed biking group ages 21 and up to ride bikes in a group setting. This is a non competitive group that is created to build social networks of bike riders. The idea is to get people out and form a "Trail Riding Community" statewide. There will be all types of rides, from the metroparks, to the bridal trails, street riding, some off road including all times of day and night. We will personally make sure no rider will be left behind as we all know what it is like to start out. Distances and terrain will vary. There will be a ride for everyone. If anyone knows the trails and area, feel free to ask to be an organizer. This ride is open to people who want discuss sports, politics, careers, and complain about their spouses. Mountain bikers who are compared to Lance Armstrong, Greg Lamond, or anyone attempting "X-Games" stunts are NOT going to enjoy this leisure activity.So if you feel like getting in shape, have a good sense of humor and want to meet new friends, welcome aboard!

Unless you have done some pretty significant research, your first question might be: What exactly IS a Libertarian? And it's a good question because there is a lot of confusion about all of the "third parties" - not just ours.
"Aren't these the potheads who want to legalize marijuana?" - That's one of my favorites and obviously the favorite of the media. In fact, whenever you see an interview with a Libertarian on the news, it's always one of the first questions. I wonder why? In fact - if this is true - then Libertarians MUST be wacko leftist liberals...
"Aren't these guys the pure free-market capitalists - where anything goes - and all government regulation is evil?" Another gem. There's nothing scary about power-hungry, ethically-deprived capitalists after all. That said, if this is true, then Libertarians MUST be wacko rightist conservatives...
"But wait... they are for gay marriage!" - they must be leftists!!!
"I know they are active in citizens' right to bear arms!" - they must be rightists!!!
"They think abortion laws shouldn't be decided at the federal level!" - they must be liberals!!!
"They think the US Constitution is the law that governs us at the federal level!" - they must be conservatives!!!
"They are against using military force for political or social gain!" - they must be Democrats!!!
"They promote fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget amendment!" - they must be Republicans!!!
So what are Libertarians? Unfortunately, we don't fit into the neat little boxes that the current, powerful parties want you to choose. In fact, most Libertarians I have met don't even agree with everything on the Libertarian Party platform!
However, we do agree on ONE thing... LIBERTY. And that is the basis for the name of our party.
We believe an individual is the best gauge for his or her own life - what they want to achieve, where they want to live and work, and what role that they want to play in a society. We also believe in your neighbor's right to do the same. Therefore, according to our belief, YOU have the right to do whatever you want to do as an adult in our society - but NOT at the expense of someone else's liberty.
And that is our view of the role of the government. ENSURE my liberty and punish those who encroach on my freedoms and harm me in the process. Of course, as pragmatists as well, we obviously recognize that society/government needs to provide things like roads, parks. police, etc.
So what about those stereotypes mentioned prior? Does that mean that they are true? Are Libertarians FOR pot smoking, winner-take-all capitalism, gay sex, gun holster-wearing wild west society, reading the Constitution like it is the Bible, limited military, slash-the-budget-and-screw-the-poor-and-disadvantaged... people? Seriously - do we need to even ask that question? Because it's a stupid question...
...and WE THE PEOPLE aren't stupid. In fact, the Libertarian Party is the ONLY party of the big three parties that doesn't insult your intelligence! Why? Because the other two parties believe that you cannot make your own choices about your life. You NEED more legislation to govern your life.
For too long we have been represented by two "big government" parties - the "conservative big government party" (aka the Republican Party) and the "liberal big government party' (aka the Democratic Party). There is NO DEBATING this... BOTH parties have held control of all three branches of the federal government at different times. BOTH parties have increased the size of the federal government EVERY YEAR, and have stripped the state and local governments' ability to govern locally. That is not how the United States is supposed to operate!
Does an INCREASING federal government give you MORE freedom, choices, opportunities and liberties... or LESS? It's not rocket science - is it?
The purpose of this group is to inform our fellow citizens of Stark County about our Party and to provide a third and viable option in the polling booth... finally! We will also educate - as well as learn from - our membership about the founding of our country, the principles and documents that forged the way for our great country, and to share the philosophy and principles of the Libertarian Party.
Join us at a meetup and meet your local libertarian citizens and see if we are on the same page. If you like it, you can get involved in the development of the party in Stark County. You can also just attend some meetings if you wish.
Or... you can just sit around and complain about the government with your friends while continuing to vote the same way you have always voted. As Dr. Phil would say, "How's that working out for you?"
It's your life, your family. your town, your county, your state, and your nation.
Do something - or do nothing. It's your choice.
We hope you'll join us at least once to check it out. You may even meet people and have fun...

Akron, Canton and Wooster Scooter Riders love to meet each other and explore riding possibilities. Whether short errands or week long tours we love to ride our scooters everywhere.
Libertarians live by a very simple code, the respect of property rights, and thus the non-aggression axiom.
Because civilization, wealth and security are built on social cooperation and because social cooperation is made possible by the clear delineation and respect of property rights - property rights are sacred to us.
Entrepreneurs are the highly creative and energetic members of society who seek to properly predict the future state of consumer desires and search for the most innovative and low-cost means of satisfying those demands.
The Society of Libertarian Entrepreneurs is a forum for people to enjoy and benefit from the moral and tangible support of like-minded people.
As Mises writes: "The body of economic knowledge is an essential element in the structure of human civilization; it is the foundation upon which modern industrialism and all the moral, intellectual, technological, and therapeutical achievements of the last centuries have been built. It rests with men whether they will make the proper use of the rich treasure with which this knowledge provides them or whether they will leave it unused. But if they fail to take the best advantage of it and disregard its teachings and warnings, they will not annul economics; they will stamp out society and the human race." - Ludwig Von Mises, Human Action
Anyone who is interested in crochet, who crochets now or wishes to learn, beginner to advanced, child to retiree, can join up and help me create a local community.
My purpose for starting this is simple - I'm seeking others in my area with a similar interest. Our purpose as I see it is simply to be able to meet others, socialize, sound-off about current projects (or current outside issues that drive us to our hooks..)...I hope we can create a group that enjoys getting together to yack and hook, without needing to do hors d'oeuvres (yes I had to look that up) and fancy little napkins, just people getting together casually.
Welcome to our support group for Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses! The shunning practice of the WT organization is wrong and needs to come to an end! Until it does, there are MANY people out there that are lost, lonely and confused. Some have managed to move on with their lives and never look back . . . for others their experiences have been more than they can bare.
It is normal to experience social shock, emotional disturbances, physical ailments, memory problems, financial devastation, homelessness, disbelief in religion, disbelief in God, difficulties with prayer and trust issues with future relationships, when coming out of a cult.
JW Survivor Support Groups offer the social and emotional encouragement needed to move on with your life. Please join us and feel free to bring a guest or two. Love, jw survivor
Meet with local parents who are interested in a local Playgroup for you and your child! This is a wonderful group that we have. We also have a Moms/Parents Night out once a month. We are ALWAYS open to suggestions for activities. We try to have at least 2 playgroups a week. This group is all about events! We enjoy creating and participating in unique, fun and educational adventures with our kids. Our events are SAH and working parent-friendly. Events will take place at various times to accomodate all schedules. Playgroups are held at different locations throughout Stark and Summit County. We also take a few "trips" to Cleveland, Akron, Medina, Green, Navarre, Strausburg, Hartville, Uniontown and New Philadelphia as well for various events. We're not limited to just one area.

We also organize Moms' Night Out, Couple's Night Out and Family Day/Night Out events. We include our hubbies in a lot of our events so that we eventually all know one another.
This is a laid back easy group. We don't have lots of "rules" and regulations like some other groups. All I ask is that you keep in touch when we plan events so we can know how many members will be in attendance. Also when you join, please do a little intro and tell us about yourself and your child/children.
