Who we are:

This is the website for the "Transplants" group. We're a social group for professionals, ages 20's - early 50's, married or single, who have moved into a new city and want to build a circle of friends and a sense of community in their new city. (And you can join even if you're a native of the city where you live.)

The group began in 1990, in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN.  We are currently working to add more cities so more transplants can get connected.   But we need your help ...

PLEASE NOTE -- IF YOUR CITY ISN'T LISTED:

We are actively looking for volunteers to start up a branch of this group in more cities!  It's a “grass roots“ group and needs volunteers to make it work.  BUT it's well worth the effort -- just check the message board on the Twin Cities link to see how active the group is there.  AND I (Laurie Kersten) am more than happy to help you get this started in your city!  Contact me at:  tctransplants@earthlink.net

Each city that is involved has its own message board (see sidebar to the left) so Transplants in that city can post events, comments, suggestions, etc.

If you like this idea, please click on your city's message board and post a message: feel free to plan your own event, ask a question, form a book club, etc. And then--get the word out in your city!

 
One final note:

Of course, the key to making these message boards work is WORD OF MOUTH!  I just ask that you let others know about this service so they can get involved - and people can add to their circle of friends (and their list of activities).
