How to Make friends
I got an email over the weekend from a high school friend who is moving to the area. She works for the same company now, but it is based out of Horsham, she usually works at home, but may be going in house.
She asked me hoe to make friends in this area and I was a little stumped. When we moved here I was put on modified bed rest 4 weeks later, so I went to work and came home. I had not friends. Once Brooks was born it was a LOT different, and now it's so much easier.
So what would you tell this person. Her interests are gardening, and volunteering.

Re: How to Make friends
Sounds like she is fishing for you guys to be friends again (if you grew apart). Otherwise, I found almost all my philly friends from the knot. If I move again, I'd hope to find friends from my new local nest board.

When I first moved to Philly I had 2 friends from college in the general area and that was is. Most of my friends came from work, our neighborhood, DH's friends significant others, the nest, or meet up. I tried volunteering but that didnt result in any friends for me, however that could have been because I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity which had a small contingent of "regulars" who were not older men with a past in construction.
Id suggest meet up because she can enjoy the activities and get to know the area while also, possibly, making friends. Also, maybe a part time job, just to meet people. At this time a year plant nurseries hire a lot and theres a lot of teachers out of work over the summer that have part time jobs at Ann Taylor and similar places so her coworkers there may be other professional, married, adults opposed to the teenage hostesses at Ruby Tuesdays.
I think volunteering is a great way to make friends. I also recommend joining the "young friends" groups of any cultural organizations she is interested in...many have them.
I have enjoyed volunteering with the Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild and have been a YF member of several museums.
I also made a ton of friends by joining the Racquet Club of Philadelphia.
She could look into a country club or something out her way too.
