What we're about

This group is for seasoned single professional individuals. It’s the original and first group of 50+ and Singles. I want to create a group that is dedicated to a more mature group of fun loving and still young individuals to come together and network and meet in an environment that is not a "dating" but rather a social group to enjoy good times and good cheer! There seems to be a lot of Happy Hour Groups dedicated to the 20, 30 & 40 year old's and that's fine but this is for the rest of us! I plan on having at least once a month on a Wednesday a Happy Hour Meet and Greet & usually a dinner or dancing on possibly a different night. I sometimes combine with my Fun Lovers of Travel & Local Events Group. Come join, have fun and make new friends!
It is my intent to bring people together to meet and enjoy each other’s company and form new friendships! That is what drives me. Seeing smiling faces of those having fun and enjoying themselves is the best feeling I can have. There are many close friendships that have developed and this also warms my heart.
***NOTE THIS IS NOT A DATING SITE AND YOU WILL BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY IF YOU CONTACT MEMBERS VIA MESSENGER THAT YOU HAVE NOT MET.***

I do not mind questions if it is to clarify some confusion, however, I do put a lot of time, energy and sometimes personal money into doing this.
(organizers pay Meetup $98.94 every 6 months to have up to three sites + supplies, wrist bands, balloons, & shortfalls)
All I am asking is that before you ask a question, that might already be spelled out in the meetup, PLEASE take the time to CAREFULLY read it completely first.
If you have a complaint I would like to hear from you in private. Please don't post them on a meetup. I do not want negativity in the group and I have and will do all that I can to avoid that. I do remove people who are not polite or are not a good fit with group.
With all of that said, I love love love this group of wonderful people and hope this year is even more fun for all.
This is YOUR group….please help me make it greater!!
I am not fond of no shows and will remove you from the group if you have 2 no show. Please if something comes up, have the courtesy to change your RSVP to no.
Linda

The Miracles featuring Mark Scott at the DSO!!

DSO Sosnick Courtyard

Let's hope and pray for a gorgeous June Saturday night evening, grab your lawn chairs and dancin shoes for a night of fabulous classic Motown Soul, Rhythm and Blues, Funk and Do Wop!!!!

The Miracles were an American vocal group that was the first successful recording act for Berry Gordy's Motown Records, and one of the most important and most influential groups in pop, rock and roll, soul and R&B music history.

Obviously this is a present incarnation of the Miracles. No Smokey Robinson(who happens to be playing at Fox August 5) ... Just sayin :).

When The Miracles's founding member Bobby Rogers went searching for a new lead singer in 2003, the legendary Motown group didn't have to look very far. Mark Scott, the Flint, Michigan-native, was a natural fit to assume the role once held by Smokey Robinson and Billy Griffin. Scott is gifted with a singing voice perfect for "The Miracles Sound. " He's also no stranger to the entertainment world. In 1984, Scott started his career as a featured vocalist in the 1984 hit movie Breaking II Electric Boogaloo. Scott is a gifted composer and producer with global hits like Don’t Cry, Be My Woman, Love On Our Mind, and many more including a recent song written for the 2020 pandemic entitled See You On The Other Side—a positive message during a trying time. After 60 years, The Miracles featuring Mark Scott—along with new members Hassan Watkins and Damon Trice—are still attracting enthusiastic audiences around the world by performing legendary songs such as Shop Around, I Second That Emotion, Tears Of A Clown, Ooo Baby Baby, and many more.

GA tickets for 20 bucks plus fees are available here. Please purchase a ticket when you sign up!!

For those inclined I'm going to hit the Detroit Shipping Company at around 615 for a bite to eat. It's an open food court / beer and wine garden so I don't have to fight for a decent Saturday night reservation downtown. The food choices look great!! Its only 1/2 mile from the DSO. Parking should be relatively easy. DSO has a parking structure for 10 bucks, however its a real pain to get out of there. I typically look for parking in the ParkWhiz app

I have become a real fan of the DSO in the past few years and their productions are truly wonderful.

We'll meet on the lawn for the 8 o'clock show at around 7:30. Bring your lawn chair!! I hope many of you will join me at the DSO and DSC

Peace Love and Music
