Hi M.,
I've found some great groups on www.meetup.com. There is one that I'm excited about attending below, that is especially for those in network marketing businesses:

As soon as my kids are in preschool next week, I'll start attending. Hope to see you there!
By the way, I am a distributor for Send Out Cards, a follow-up and relationship marketing tool. I can help grow your business through referrals and repeat customers (if your business includes repeat customers) by the use of physical greeting cards or postcards; our company prints, stamps & mails your cards. Create your own or choose from 5,000+ on our easy-to-use website. Send one or thousands, each costs about a dollar (including postage) or less for postcards. Personalize by adding your own handwriting font and signature. Huge timesaver - send a card in a minute or two. Awesome contact database that can send you reminders so you will never forget a client or birthday again!

P.S. I'm also a graphic artist, marketing and direct mail consultant and will do a free consultation via e-mail or phone for anyone looking for ideas to grow their business. (As long as you can put up with noisy children for another week, since I work from home :-) Just send me a private e-mail.
Wishing you much success!
