Hi K. and welcome to the Carolinas!!! I'm in Huntersville myself, so I can't help with your question exactly. When I moved here 7 years ago, I found a great group called University Area Moms. They set me up with a playgroup of like aged children and helped introduce me to my first real friends in the area. I quite the chapter several years ago and joined something here in Huntersville. I just checked on- line and found they still look active.
(UNIVERSITY MOMS)An active organization for mothers, fathers, and children ages 0-5 years with activities almost every day of the week. These include play groups, park days, excursions, mom's and dad's only activities, mom's weekends away, and lots of other stuff. They concentrate on having fun. For more info, call a group member at 704/921-0032 Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Hope this helps!!
