What we’re about

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 nights, game nights, etc. where active men and women can meet each other for fun events in no-pressure situations, where friendship and romance can blossom!

PLEASE POST A PERSONAL PHOTO (no sunglasses please!) WHEN YOU JOIN AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. THIS IS A SOCIAL GROUP, AND AN UNANSWERED QUESTIONNAIRE WITH NO PHOTO, OR A PHOTO OF A FLOWER OR PET, IS NOT VERY SOCIAL! PLEASE COOPERATE. THANKS.

Comedy Night in Livingston
Temple Beth Shalom, 193 E Mt Pleasant Ave, Livingston, NJ, US
Our biggest and best event of every year, Comedy Night, is now on sale!
The three stars of this year's show are Marion Grodin, Wayne Cotter, and Wali Collins. Click on each name to read more about them. Doors are at 8:00 PM (Please don't try to enter earlier, it leads to confusion in the lobby). The performance starts at 9:00 PM. The ticket price is $45.
Your name will be on a list at the door, and you will receive a ticket there with your table number. If you are coming as a group and want to sit together, let me know. Also, this year we will have our usual 3 tables in the front of the room, but the 4th table will be in the second row of tables, so if you would prefer that table, let me know, otherwise it will be first come first served for the front tables and late comers will get the 2nd tier (still great seats).
Snacks and soft drinks are provided free of charge, but BYOB.
You must pay through the link in order for your RSVP to be valid. You may use PayPal or a credit card. If you want to avoid service charges, do not RSVP on Meetup. Instead, pay by Venmo directly to my email, kennykap@aol.com, and I will take care of your RSVP.

There are no formal dues for Alive and Kickin' but it costs me $198 per year to be a Meetup organizer. There will be a contribution jar on the table and I ask that each member contribute. A suggested contribution is $5 per person, but more or less is fine, as your circumstances allow. I will do this each year at events only until my costs are met. I am not in this to profit, but I would like to defer my costs.
