About us
Madison isn't all young adults, some of us are over 50, but young at heart! If you live on or near the isthmus, are a woman over 50, and are seeking new friendships, join us. We'll meet primarily between 10am - 5pm, with some events in early evenings. Are you retired? still working from home? caregiving for a spouse and need an outing? new to the area? looking for friends to meet up with to enjoy the farmers markets, trips to the library, music on the terrace, lectures, walks to galleries? recovering from an injury and need to get back into your groove? Join this group of locals in Madison WI. Meetings are held downtown more often, but we also plan activities on both East and West sides. If we meet in a coffee shop or restaurant consider buying a drink or appetizer. On occasion, a later evening event will be marked as "Bring a +1", meaning you may bring a friend, partner or spouse. Those events will be clearly labelled.
Membership Information:
- Your displayed name must include a first name. Display names looking like e-mail addresses or text strings will be removed, in accordance with Meetup's spam reduction strategies.
- Members who have not visited the group's page to peruse events within the last 4 months will be removed from the group, so that the list reflects a headcount of active women on Meetup. If a person is inactive, they can rejoin the group at any time!
- You will be removed with two NO-SHOWs. Please keep your RSVP status up to date. If you sign up for an event, and cannot make it, change your RSVP to "Not Going". This releases your RSVP to another individual on the wait list. Your host will have an accurate attendance count. It also means your host is not trying to hold your seat for you at venues where seats are in high demand and holding chairs is frowned upon.
- Your host reserves the right to remove or ban members sending unwanted communications through the Meetup platform, at her sole discretion.

UW Lecture - What Happens when Antibiotics fail? For women age 50+
330 N Orchard St, Madison, Wi, USWhat do we do when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines? What are our options? Listen to Dr. Marc Chevrette, a UW-Madison Resident Discovery Fellow in Molecular & Genome Biology of Microbes; joined by Sarah Miller, of Tiny Earth - a UW Discovery center initiative to source new antibiotics from soil. No doubt some of the science may go over your host's head, but the goal of the Crossroads program is to bring explanations of cutting-edge explorations to the public. After all, sourcing new antibiotics is of critical importance to us all.
You may bring a friend, spouse or partner, as this is an evening event. Sign up for your free tickets. Afterwards, we can share a drink at the Library Cafe across the street, for those interested.
Gather at 6:45PM inside the 3rd floor ORCHARD VIEW lecture room. Cheryl will have a MEETUP sign visible so you can find her. Arrive on time, as it's challenging to hold seats in a lecture hall. This event is ideal for those interested in technical innovation, starting a small business in emerging technologies, and acquiring funding. If you have "retired" from these concerns yourself, come learn about what our children and our younger friends face as they work to bring their ideas to the marketplace. Ideal for women interested in business development, survival and success in this competitive fast-moving world.
YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT. PLEASE PRINT OUT OR STORE YOUR FREE E-TICKETS

Otherwise, using the bus is recommended. If it becomes very icy out, Cheryl may cancel this event. Please watch this page, and ensure your MEETUP notifications are set to ON.
