Singles who are over 55 are a largely neglected demographic here on Meetup and in the world generally. It is difficult for them to find social events where they can meet other singles their age.  Though I am comfortable in and enjoy social groups with a broad age range, I realized that some of my friends, especially friends older than me, wanted a group that was more their own age. I decided to see if I could fill that need. The idea is to have happy hours, dinners, museum visits, dances, movie …

This is a group for anyone who enjoys reading books on personal improvement and spirituality, but too often has no one to discuss them with!

Did you spend years focusing on having children or starting a marriage or relationship and are now missing the companionship of …

I couldn't find a group for casual social meetings. As a relative newcomer to the area, and someone at home during the daytime, there didn't seem to be a lot of opportunity to meet people outside specific interest groups. It's great to have a hobby you're passionate about, but also nice to just chat over coffee or go out on an occasional visit - maybe to lunch, park, museum, or a tourist spot. In other words a social group that doesn't just focus on one thing. I also wanted a group that wasn't t …
