This is the first event and I would like to welcome everyone. I’m currently setting up the Meetup group focused on dating and meaningful connections for Australian-born Chinese (ABC) singles aged 35–50 in Melbourne. To build this group into a warm, well-run, and sustainable community, I’m looking for 2–3 friendly and reliable co-organisers to help shape and run the group together. We can start by co-hosting one event together and see if it’s a good fit, with no pressure or long-term commitment upfront. If this sounds interesting, please send me a message with a brief introduction about yourself and why you’d like to be involved. I’d love to connect and have a chat. Phone number: 0433092588 Lauren
