Welcome to ChildFree DFW
|
|
|
ChildFree DFW is an all-volunteer*, non-profit social club for adult couples and singles who have made a conscious choice to never have kids. If you are without children and want to associate with others of like mind, join in the fun!
Members are strongly encouraged to suggest their own events in the Forums, as we are a highly unorthodox group with all types of people with one thing in common - so, if you don't see anything you'd care to participate in, by all means, feel free to show us new stuff!
*This social club is run entirely by volunteers who put in a great deal of their own time, money, and effort to make everything happen. In return, we ask that any problems be handled in a civil manner. This is a lot more work than you might think, and we're doing our best, on top of our other responsibilities. If you would like to volunteer to help in any way, just drop us a line!

| Welcome ChildFree DFW - Farewell No Kidding! - Wednesday, April 09, 2008 You've doubtless noticed the name change, and you may be wondering what happened! Several factors contributed to our decision to secede (see the forums for the discussions), but in a nutshell, our group has come to a parting of the ways with the No Kidding! mothership up in Canada as our local chapter has evolved into a different entity than theirs. What our members want from a social group is no longer compatible with the NK! guidelines.
No Kidding! is open to all non-parents, including those who just don't have children yet, but our group prefers to cater to a more specific demographic: people who don't have kids and have made a conscious choice to never have kids. Thus, our membership is not open to anyone with parenting aspirations (childless vs. childfree), as the intent of our group is not only to connect with like-minded people, but also hopefully to foster lasting friendships.
So, we're now officially on our own, and it's all ours now, people: Welcome to ChildFree DFW! We've updated the website to reflect our new name, but we may make some additional minor modifications, so please bear with us as we finalize our transition. We'll keep you updated via the forums, and if you have any suggestions or questions about the change, don't hesitate to speak up. ChildFree DFW is what it is because of our members, so now more than ever we encourage everyone to be involved.
New Address & Membership Cancellation
Please update your bookmarks with our new URL: www.childfreedfw.org. The nkdfw address will remain valid for a few more months. If you feel that ChildFree DFW is no longer the group for you, please feel free to cancel your membership via the Unregister link under Members>My Account or email us with your request.

| New Childfree Page - Monday, November 26, 2007The Links/Reading page which contained a random list of links for Childfree resources has undergone a bit of a redesign. You can see it here. The resources have been categorized for easy browsing. Eventually I'd like to include relevant books, shops, people, and possibly birth control resources. If you have any ideas for additional features for the page, let me know! More changes for the rest of the site are on the way, so stay tuned.

Think of this as our Beta Gallery! read more ...

| Q. What is ChildFree DFW and who are the childfree? |
A. ChildFree DFW is an all-volunteer, nonprofit social club for couples and singles who, for whatever reason, have never had children. Each individual has his/her own personal reasons for making this choice.
Every childfree club is different, evolving over time into something unique based on its membership. Here in DFW, we are outspoken about being childfree. Those who wish to join are advised to understand that we are not especially welcoming of prospective members who express a desire to one day have children, or whose children are grown and gone. Furthermore, if you feel that you would take offense at some of our more outspoken members, we gently recommend that you seek a different social outlet. |
| Q. What kinds of activities does ChildFree DFW have? |
| A. Activities range from the ever-popular group dinner/happy hour to excursions to museums, concerts, botanical gardens, science fiction conventions, drum circles, art festivals, Renaissance Faires, and anything else that anyone can come up with. We try to address the infinite range of interests of our members and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome! |
