About us
As we age, we may lose connection with prior friendships as a result of many reasons such as relocation, illness, divorce, or perhaps just a change in common interests. This group in the Oxford CT area is for women aged 50+ who are seeking new authentic friendships. Meetings will take place in a community setting, a restaurant, or in each other's homes. I'm always open to ideas for activities. To date, we've done outings such as wine tasting, listening to live music, taking walks on nice evenings, shared book readings and discussion, card games, or open dialogue on topics of concern or interest.
NOTE: Meetup charges me $47.99 per month to use their platform to host these events. Your contribution to these membership fees is appreciated via the Fund Raising section below.
Please consider making a donation in an amount of your choosing to help keep our group going. Even a small amount makes a difference. Thank you!
