Madison Women 50+

Get your free ticket (SOLD OUT EFFECTIVE 12-25-2025) and come line dancing together at Monona Terrace and share a drink afterwards at the new One Social food hall, with full bar, located one block away. Line dance enthusiasts Sue Trace and Laura Nyquist will lead you through a fun and relaxed class, teaching some popular beginner country line dances. You will learn step patterns that repeat throughout each song. No experience needed! For women age 50+

The One Social food court is a block away from the terrace. If you park underneath my building, in public parking, at 216 S Pinckney Street (accessible from E Wilson Street or Doty Street), you will walk the least. Or, park at the Monona Terrace lot and your host Cheryl will walk back with you from One Social to the Monona Terrace Parking Lot, so you need not be alone after dark. Monona Terrace is also easily reached by bus lines C, 38, A, B, F, E, and R.

Before it starts, Cheryl will stand with a MEETUP sign just outside (or just inside) the entrance to the event room, at 5:45PM. Dancing starts at 6PM. Afterwards, she will stand just outside the event room with a MEETUP sign for those wishing to go to One Social. Once we find each other, we'll be on our way!

You can get drinks at a full bar and enjoy the view of Lake Monona. If you're hungry, there are also 4 places to get food quickly. One Social closes at 9PM.

Interested in innovation and start-ups? Wonder how new ventures get funded and which ones succeed? Listen to Dr. Adhira Sunkara (an NSF award-winning female startup founder in the ag-tech sector) talk about her personal entrepreneurial experiences plus her state-level work in building public-private partnerships across Wisconsin for hundreds of startups and small businesses. She is joined by UW Professor Jon Eckhardt from the School of Business and former Legg Mason fixed income analyst. 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

If you wish to share a drink afterwards, Cheryl will walk you back to your garage from the Library Cafe, if you arrived by car. 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.

Sit in the back room and chat, while the Madison Classical Guitar Society plays in the front room. Coffee, juices, beer and wine available at this evening event. For women over age 50; feel free to bring a +1 spouse, friend or partner. You can NOT SEE the players from the back room but speakers make the music available to us. Seeing the musicians is just one room over, 20 steps away. (Chairs are close together and you cannot talk in the performance area). If fellows show up and want to sit separately, there will be tables to do so. Event is FREE but drink purchase and/or donation is highly suggested. While your host will be there 90 minutes, the actual event continues until 10PM and you can certainly move into the performance area as seats are available. There are no tickets or held seats. A MEETUP SIGN will be on the table.

Enjoy comic ballet by the all-male Les Ballets Trockadero at the Overture. Socialize with drinks before the concert and afterwards. Best known for presenting their lovingly-satirical takes on the tropes of classical ballet repertory, these versatile dancers layer slapstick humor with technical chops resulting in performances that simultaneously celebrate and skewer the ballets that aficionados thought they knew. Enjoy an evening of hearty laughter. Feel free to bring a spouse or friend. This is a +1 event. Tickets are currently priced between $38-$77. GET YOUR TICKET HERE

We will meet one hour before the performance at the Promenade (2nd floor) or Upper Lobby (3rd floor). Drinks are available at the Overture concessions. Watch this listing for a more exact location INSIDE the Overture, as the date approaches. A MEETUP SIGN will be placed on the table. Afterwards, we can go over the State Street, and have a post-drink at the Cask & Ale or other nearby venue, if there is interest.

If you are using the bus to arrive, your host will walk with you to the State Street bus stop, and wait with you until your departing bus picks you up. Please do not let the later hour deter you.
