Have you wanted to get a bunch of friends together to co-volunteer for a cause simultaneously?

This group is for young women with one thing in common: a significant other. While there are some great groups on Meetup for single women, what about the attached ones? Doesn't mean we're boring or want to talk about our partners all the time, but our partners are a significant part of our lives, and we need some woman-to-woman time to talk about whatever we want and get away for a little bit. (With women who understand where you're coming from in terms of relationships) What do we do? Really an …

The Deconstruction Front meets intermittently in weekday evenings, around Downtown Mountain View and other places within San Francisco Bay Area which are reachable thru public transportation.
