What we’re about
This group is for (all) people over 50 who desire to get off the couch and offline to meet people and participate in activities and events that one might not want to attend alone.
We'll plan events and meet-ups for both working and retired people who live in Detroit. Most events will be in Detroit. Metro folks welcome. Meet-ups can include: lectures, theater events, live music, community events, day trips, etc.
If you have an idea for a meet-up, lets us know!
You must have a picture of you that is not blurry or far away to join the group. The whole point of joining meet-up is to meet other people and when meeting in person it helps to have a face to the name of people you're meeting.
If you are considering joining this group, please be aware that there is a $10/year fee, due after a trial.
It covers costs of organizer fee, venue rentals, supplies, or refreshments. There is also proven evidence that if you are paying a fee there is more accountability to actually participate.

7-8:30 War-Experience the electrifying sounds of the original street band performing your favorite hits including Low Rider, Spill the Wine, The Cisco Kid, and many more!I loved listening to War as a kid, so I'm super excited about this FREE event. Also, if you're a car aficionado I believe there is a low-rider show, nearby-part of the festival. A few of us went to last year and really enjoyed looking at and talking to the owners of all these amazing cars. You might want to come earlier if you want to see all the booths, cars, and etc.
