About us
## What We’re About
Welcome! This is a women-only group for women 40+, created to foster meaningful connections, shared experiences, and a genuine sense of community.
We gather to enjoy dining, brunches, happy hours, cultural outings, outdoor adventures, creative activities, and the simple joy of trying something new together. Whether it’s discovering a great restaurant, enjoying a walk or hike, attending a local event, or spending time in good conversation, our focus is connection over obligation.
This group is intentionally community-driven. While one monthly activity is hosted by the organizer, the heart of the group is participation. Members are encouraged to share ideas, help plan or host activities, and contribute—whether that’s time, creativity, or helping offset event and meetup costs when possible. When everyone participates in ways that work for them, the group thrives.
Our goal is to build authentic friendships, meet new people, and create lasting connections in a welcoming, supportive environment. This is a space to show up, get involved, and enjoy life together.
We’re excited about what we can build—together.
