The 50+ Culture and Cuisine Group

The primary focus of this group is attending cultural events and going out for brunch, lunch, and dinner with other 50+ year old seniors, singles, and couples. From gourmet to pizza, some of our favorites are Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean, and steak, as well as health conscious restaurants.

We also enjoy theatre, classical music concerts, museum events, and movies. Occasionally, we cook and entertain in our homes (with limited numbers). Hiking, boating, and trips to various beaches, seashores, and distant locations with other adventurers create memories that define our lives.

Sharing the knowledge I gained in public relations, marketing, and event planning for various organizations, as well as the organizer for NC Symphony Suppers, Raleigh Ski and Outing Club (RSOC) events, "10s and Friends" co-op Single Suppers (over 200 members in two years), and as an adult student at NC State for over 10 years, of the many ways to entertain and enjoy this rich area were my motivation for starting this group. Now, I would like to travel and enjoy concerts, plays, cooking, dining out, gardening, walking, hiking, and adventures with others who like to do the same.

We are active 50+ seniors--both singles and couples.
