Things that have been working for me lately is to just try as much as I can and see what sticks:

• Doing activities that you enjoy and making friends through shared interests.
• Meetup app for various activities. Board games group, hiking groups, Forever 38, dog groups, etc all seem to be active.
• Keep an eye on your local calendar for community and library. Attend things that you're interested in. It's craft fair season so there's some good things to check out there.
• Since Burlington is an option, look at events for the Boardroom, they do a ladies night and I've also been told that if you show up there's always someone looking to play.
• Seven Days calendar covers a lot of different events.
