Yes, Martina! I think you should just start one and I'll join you!
I've met 2 4Real members IRL  ... 3 if you count my sister  . I have a few friends that have joined at my prodding, but they've never posted or participated ... perhaps someday they will

Ladies, you are so awesome to want to offer more social-networking for 4Real members. We moderators are planning to discuss this topic at our upcoming moderator retreat. For example, I'm eager to discuss Twitter, in particular. Thanks so much for the encouragement that this is a direction you would like to see us move.
Love,

Ladies, I'm still new here, but could someone please tell m if there is a "group" area on here where we can see who lives in what city and state or what homeschool support groups are in different cities, states? I would love to be able to get together with some other homeschool families that live near me, but I don't know any. My kids love to play and meet other children and as of now, it's only happening at church on Sunday or at the Suzuki school.
I like Martinas' idea with facebook too!  
God Bless!

I believe in the past some members have posted in the Tea and Conversation forum that they are in a certain area, and requested that other members in that same general area pm them. As a public board we are searchable, and many members choose to guard their particular locations, not wanting to post where they live on a publicly searchable/readable board. Each member decides their own comfort level on this, so private messages can be a good way to exchange information while still allowing members to protect their privacy.
You can also google search homeschool support groups in your local area - in addition to some groups having websites, there are many homeschool group databases that compile just this kind of information and you can likely find contacts that way. Another way to meet local homeschoolers is to ask around at your church about other homeschoolers. You generally only need to find one or two in order to find some good local contact information.
Good luck in your search! And again, welcome to the boards!

Thanks Mackfam!
I did ask around at church and found a few homeschooing families, but they all live far from me.  I also found a homeschool group in my neighborhood, but they are all into unschooling and are very unorganized. I will do as you suggested and search some more! There's got to be a good group out here, I just haven't discovered them!
