MEEKER I There’s a new group in Meeker, and it appears they are organizing for fun, profit and local knowledge.
Group organizer Danyel Harman said the group is looking for young adults and “the young at heart” who want to network, meet new people and enjoy all that Meeker has to offer.
The Meeker Young Timers have set the first roundup for 5 p.m. on Sept. 19 at Ma Famiglia Restaurant, located at Fourth and Market streets. There will be free appetizers, a happy hour and socializing.
The Meeker Young Timers is designed to be a group of people in their 20s and 30s, or those young at heart, located in or near Meeker.
The agenda for the gathering is to discuss what the group wants to accomplish and what types of activities the group wants to participate in, such as social, philanthropic, networking, etc.
“I was looking for a way to meet people in town and my sister recommended we do this,” Harman said. “Young adults need a way to meet each other, and it is my hope that we can accomplish many things with the group.”
“We can network, we can have fun and we can do different things for each meeting in and around Meeker and learn more about the town and what goes on around here,” she said.
“I would hope that newcomers to the area would also feel comfortable joining us, and we can all learn together — even those who grew up here — some of the things to do around here. Maybe even the long-term residents will learn something new or help the newcomers become more familiar with the area.”
