I
don't
know
if
this
helps
but
we
moved
recently
--
our
daughter
is
4.
Interestingly,
we
moved
from
a
huge
city
(NYC),
to
a
suburb
and
have
found
it
easier
to
meet
people.
We've
met
a
lot
through
her
preschool
--
I
make
it
a
point
to
get
there
a
little
earlier
and
both
myself
and
my
husband
offer
to
volunteer
when
we
can
(we've
each
done
it
just
twice,
since
we
both
work,
but
that
has
been
helpful
in
connecting
with
other
parents).
We've
also
met
some
people
at
the
local
playground
--
which
I
never
thought
we'd
do:)

We
relocated
from
a
small
country
town
in
Texas
to
a
small
city
in
Oklahoma
almost
five
years
ago.
At
the
time
my
son
was
entering
his
8th
grade
year
and
my
daughter
was
entering
2nd
grade.
The
best
way
to
help
your
kids
is
to
get
them
involved
in
sports
or
a
school
activity.
My
son
had
to
be
here
in
July
before
school
to
practice
with
the
football
team,
that
helped
him
transition
into
the
middle
school
much
easier
and
he
knew
kids
before
school
started.
With
my
daugther,
we
joined
the
girls
scouts
and
went
to
both
the
"welcome
back
to
school
nights"
before
school
started,
this
allowed
her
to
meet
her
teacher
and
meet
some
of
the
kids
in
her
class.
All
I
can
say
is
get
invovled,
that's
the
best
way
to
meet
other
people.

I even tell my single girlfreinds to move the burbs so they can meet someone but they are afraid I am putting the out to pasture.
Anyway- join your local YMCA and enroll your kids in classes. Join the newcomers club and go the free mommy and me events at your local library. THe park as Nataly said is always a great place to meet families.
