Joe’s Tennis Junkies
http://tennis.meetup.com/204/?gj=sj5
Let’s get together and play some tennis! It may be tricky finding enough courts so our planned meeting times will have to be limited in terms of numbers of participants - so first come first serve (no pun intended), when it comes to our meet ups.

Baltimore Dodgeball
Dodgeball at it’s finest!
Drop us line and add us to friends, you’ll be glad you did, we had a pretty large group of fanatics in Seattle for good reason. You haven’t played dodgeball till you’ve played this style.
It will be played with real rubber balls (not spongy nerf balls) on a large court where most of the playing area is a neutral zone where both teams can be at all times. The rules lend themselves to a brand of DB that is very fast paced, many comebacks and heroes, playmaker oriented, rewards speed and sneaky tactics as much as a great throwing arm and catching ability. This style does not get bogged down in stare off or stalemates and any given player at any time can make something happen anywhere on the court.

The Maryland Outdoor Club, Inc. (MOC) is a not-for-profit organization for adults, featuring adventure sports (mostly non-competitive), as well as social events and travel excursions, in and around the state of Maryland. The MOC’s mission is to provide our members with fun experiences, the opportunity to network, and the ability to learn about and participate in local adventure sports.
The MOC hosts about 100 events every year, including:
Adventure Sports - hiking, camping, backpacking, mountain biking, paddling, climbing, skiing, etc.
Travel - trips to the beach, mountains, or various parts of the U.S., and possibly beyond
Social - social hour, parties, movies, spectator sporting events, golf outings, nature preservation, clinics, etc.
Founded in March 2002, the MOC currently has 4941 members, primarily Maryland residents. Members range in age from 20 to 60, with 74% of members in the 20-39 age range. Membership is open to any adult interested in outdoor adventures, regardless of his or her experience level. Members pay only for those events they attend and membership is free, although member support, in the form of both time and monetary donations, is solicited to keep the club running. There is no paid staff, and funds remaining at the end of the year are recycled back into the club (for purchases of equipment, maintaining the web site, or supporting an event).
The MOC relies heavily on its interactive events and networking web site to allow people to sign up for membership, communicate with one another, register and pay for events, submit event feedback, and make suggestions for club improvements.
A Virtual Clubhouse
The web site is the backbone - the “virtual clubhouse” - of the MOC. Individuals can sign up for membership online in a matter of minutes. They can network with other members, interact with the officers, and register for upcoming events. The site offers a variety of other useful features, including adventure sport tips, online shopping, recommended links, and upcoming area events of interest. The lack of overhead for a physical office permits the club to continue to offer free memberships.
In addition to the web site, the MOC features a twice-monthly e-mail to its e-mail list group with breaking news and upcoming events, and an online/print monthly newsletter, the “Monthly Explorer.” A monthly social/networking event is held to give members an opportunity to meet and socialize in person.
History
The MOC was modeled after the Atlanta Outdoor Club (AOC) located in Atlanta, GA. The AOC was founded in October of 2000 and is now serving more than 900 members in the state of Georgia. Amy (Pickwick) Kunkoski founded both the MOC and the AOC. After moving to the Atlanta area straight out of college from Salisbury, MD, Amy found it difficult to meet people because Atlanta was such a fast-paced city and people were so transitional. She began the AOC as a way to meet people with interests similar to her and, within six months, found that the idea had caught on. When Amy relocated to Maryland in late 2001, she brought her concept with her. This time, she contracted the web services of Tivilon, Inc. in College Park, MD to build a bigger and better web site for the organization.
