As Families.com is growing, we thought it would be fun for families to be able to find, network with and make friends with other families in their area. These families could talk about local issues, local events, local support groups, local politics and other issues specific to that location. These families could share reviews of restaurants, doctors, schools, politicians, parks and other businesses. We thought it would be nice to know which businesses and services other families liked and disliked. These families could provide reviews of local entertainment, culture and other attractions for other families who might take a vacation to that area. The families could have online garage sales or give away hand-me-down items to other families in the area who might be able to use them. These families could form local support groups, get together and go out to lunch (keeping safety issues in mind), or come together to support a local good cause.

This is our vision for the Families.com Local area. We encourage everyone to start off by introducing themselves on their local forum. Share whatever you feel comfortable and appropriate. What do you like to do for fun? Tell us about your family. Why do you come to Families.com? What kind of friends would you like to meet? What are your favorite things about the area where you live? What are your least favorite? Where is your absolute favorite place to eat? Help us start this local support and networking forum in your area.

I am in Drums, Pennsylvania, which is eastern PA, near Hazleton. I've been a "lurker" for a while to Families/DAGG - I think this is my first post here actually.

Hi!
I'm new to families.com and I live in York County, near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. I'm a homeschool mom and I joined this site because I do a lot of coupon/ad matching and the information here just simplifies life.
In the new members forum I posted that if anyone shops at Giant and would like to register their BONUSCARD with the Giant A+ School Rewards to benefit our school, it would be great. Our school ID is 01472. You can enter your number at http://www.giantaplus.com/SchoolDesignationLogin.html
