What we’re about
Welcome! Do you ever wish you had someone to go with to a show? My goal for this group is to help us all have women friends to go with to events. It's always more fun with a friend!
Who are we? Gen-X is those of us approximately in our 40's and 50's, born roughly between 1965 and 1980. The internet says we are a group known for our independence, pragmatism, and resourcefulness. And that we're called the "forgotten generation" because we're in between two larger groups; the younger Millennials and the older Boomers.
I'm hoping to keep this group small and I would like us to get to know each other. When you sign up, I would love to have a brief text chat, and please post a photo that shows your face so we can recognize each other.
The whole point of this group is so that you (or I) don't get stuck at a venue alone. Yes, that includes me. Please don't pull a no-show. Cancellations within 24 hours are fine, or even 2 hours in an emergency, I know, it happens. I just don't want to be waiting somewhere alone with no one coming. Let me know!
What kinds of events? Anything! I like outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, biking, and dancing. But indoors can be fun too. I lift weights and use the weight machines at the Chuze on Grant and Craycroft at lunchtime, so let me know if you ever want to meet there. Because many of us are still working, I will try to post mostly lunch hour, evening and weekend activities.
Meet-up charges those of us who organize groups $48 per month (incl tax), and that's just at the basic level (pro is even more). It's free for you, but expensive for us organizers, so please consider donating a little bit to help offset my costs. I'm not trying to make any money, just offset the high app fees.
I am looking forward to meeting all of you!
