About us

Getting Out of the House is for women 45–65 who want to enjoy life while making genuine friendships along the way.

We explore restaurants, wineries, festivals, museums, shows, gardens, outdoor activities, seasonal events, and day trips throughout South Jersey, Philadelphia, and nearby destinations. No networking. No dating weirdness.

Events & RSVPs

New events are usually posted Sunday or Monday for the upcoming weekend. We intentionally keep the calendar short so everyone can RSVP based on their actual plans that week. Check back at the beginning of the week to see what’s next. 😊

Please RSVP or join the waitlist only when you reasonably expect to attend. If you’re on the waitlist, check Meetup on the day of the event to see if you’ve been added. If your plans change, update your RSVP or remove yourself from the waitlist as soon as you can. Things happen, but last-minute cancellations are disappointing, and no-shows leave the group standing around waiting for someone who isn’t coming.

Members who no-show three times without canceling their RSVP will be removed from the group.

Costs

We keep things simple: members pay only for their own food, tickets, transportation, or other costs associated with the outings they choose. No dues. No long-term commitments.

A Note About Messages

Outside of setting up events and checking RSVPs on event days, I’m not on Meetup very often, so messages will not be seen right away.
