Montgomery Co 60s/70s married couples

We are a recently retired married couple in our 60s/70s, looking for likeminded "foodies" couples who are interested in making new friends over a nice meal and good conversation.
We organized a similar Group before the pandemic, so we have several years of experience leading a successful group.

This will be a Private Group - your personal information will not be visible to members outside of our group.
Married (or living together) couples only!!!

PLEASE READ THE RULES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING!

We will limit the number of couples to 12 - since there will be many "food" outings, any more would make it near impossible to make reservations. We will maintain a waitlist in case any members resign. Please join ONLY if you truly wish to make new friends AND have the free time to participate! Due to the limited size of the Group, couples who will not participate in 4 consecutive events without a provided valid reason may be asked to resign.

The group will be BY INVITATION ONLY: when you express interest in joining the group, you will be asked a few demographic questions, which will determine your acceptance.
IMPORTANT: Since Meetup no longer allows "plus ones" for couples' groups, each spouse has to have a Profile and apply individually. All couples will need to provide a RECENT picture of the couple - that's how we will identify you at the first event. If you don't want your profile to have a picture as a couple, you can upload one to the group's PHOTOS tab.
We will also need at least one cell phone number per couple to facilitate last minute text communications. I'm sure we all know that Meetup messages can be delayed quite a bit...

Since organizing a Meetup Group has become quite expensive, there will be a small fee per couple - about $2-$3 per month, depending on how many couples join. As the Meetup Organizer fee is subject to change every 6 months, the member fees may vary slightly.
