What we’re about
Welcome! Thank u 4 checking out this group! We are a group of couples and singles, generally aged 55+ (we don't verify ages), who want to explore Oklahoma museums, parks, history, restaurants and more. In general this group is for politically-progressive or politically-liberal minded Oklahomans who enjoy meeting new, like-minded, people. I think you will find we are friendly, and easy for you to join in and feel welcome.
A general example of our events will be activities like meeting at a museum, engaging a docent for a tour, then all gathering together for lunch afterwards. Most events will be less than two hours of travel time from OKC, but occasionally we may schedule overnight excursions.
ALL expenses such as, but not limited to, transportation, tickets, lodging (when applicable), and meals will be the responsibility of each individual. Events will generally be planned within Mon-Fri, 10:00 am-3:00 pm but that may vary depending on activity.
GROUP RULES:
(1) Be nice, have fun.
(2) This group is intended to enjoy time together WITHOUT POLITICAL or RELIGIOUS undertones because we want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable. Please leave those discussions at home, on your own time or outside of these group events.
(3) This is a social group but NOT A DATING GROUP, please search Meetup for those groups if that is your goal. Do not harass our members with chat solicitations for "I'd like to get to know you..."
(4) Please keep your RSVP up-to-date. Anyone who responds with a RSVP=YES and is a no show WILL BE DELETED FROM THIS GROUP.
(5) In order to be approved, new requests to join our group must include a personal FACIAL picture that can be used to ensure you are a real person and to identify new members when you attend our events.

- 2024 Walk To End Alzheimer'sScissortail Park, Oklahoma City, OK
FIRST: Please register here to participate in this event. You can search on LUANN LOHMEIER to find our team (OKC 55+ Meetup). This will be a 2-mile walk at Scissortail Park and all the details are here. There is no fee to participate, but it is a fund-raising event so if you can help out with that effort, that would be wonderful.
NEXT, after you've registered, please RSVP=YES here so we know who is actually, really, truly attending. Bring as many friends and/or family as you'd like! (Be sure they register also.) When the date gets closer, we'll figure out when/where to meet.
On a personal note, I am walking to honor my sister-in-law, Wendy Lohmeier, who passed at age 63 from this horrible disease (as did her father and brother), and my brother, John, who devoted years of his life to taking care of her at home, by himself.
FINALLY, we have set a fund-raising goal of $500. If you are unable to attend but would like to make a small donation, that would be awesome ! Any amount is much appreciated. You may donate under our group name (OKC 55+ Meetup) or under the names of any of our participants.
