Raleigh Area 30+ Ladies Social

About us

Welcome!
This is a ladies-only social group for the 30+ crowd who are looking to build lasting friendships in the greater Raleigh area.

We will have dinners, brunch, book club, wine nights, movies, theater, hikes, weekend trips, etc… Have an idea? Suggest it! If you're excited about it, chances are others will be too.

This group is about more than making plans, it's about showing up for each other and making meaningful connections. That's why we have an attendance policy to help keep things respectful and fun for all.

Here's what that means:

If you RSVP "Yes," we're counting on you to be there - both for logistics and because we'll miss you.
Please avoid last-minute cancellations (within 24 hours of the event) unless it's truly unavoidable. Last minute cancellations will be considered a no-show.
If you're on the waitlist and know you can't make it, please update your RSVP accordingly so someone else can take your spot.
Members who no-show three times may be removed from the group, simply to keep things fair for everyone putting in the effort to show up.

We're here to build a community of women friendships, one Meetup at a time. Hope to see you at an event soon!

Let's see Staying Alive and have Brunch
Sun, Aug 2 · 9:45 AM EDT
NC Museum of Natural Sciences- Nature Exploration Center, 11 West Jones St., Raleigh, NC, US
Let's visit the NC Natural Sciences Museum to see the exhibit "Staying Alive." Tickets are $18 (19.31 with fees), make sure to select August 2nd at 10am.

In the ultimate battle for survival, every animal has a plan.
Explore the striking ways nature fights back in “Staying Alive,” featuring live animals from around the world with unbelievable self-defense strategies. Come face to face with trippy toads, an armored armadillo, a two-toed sloth and more.
Discover how these defenders deploy an amazing arsenal of high-fashion camouflage and mimicry, specialized armor and advanced chemical warfare – like stink bombs, caboose cannons and smoke screens – to hide in plain sight, stand their ground or even drop a limb and make a run for it. Enjoy live animals, larger-than-life sculptures and hands-on displays.

Afterwards, we can grab a bite to eat at the Daily Planet Cafe. Daily Planet Cafe Menu

I hope you can make it to the science museum.

Remember to be courteous to the organizer and other members by keeping your RSVP up to date. If your plans change, please make sure to update your RSVP 24 hours in advance (Saturday by 9:45 am). Thank you!

"Join the fun and intrigue with Kill the Music — an interactive murder mystery experience by It’s A Mystery. In this lively whodunit, you’re invited to the reunion concert of a one-hit wonder all-girl music group. Just when excitement is high and a new song is about to debut, something sinister might strike—could one of the band members be silenced for good?

As the audience, you’ll become part of the story: gather clues, collaborate with your tablemates, and help uncover who done it!
Sweet treats will fuel your sleuthing during a deliciously twisty mystery. The 11am performance will include brunch pastries, fruit, and coffee. Note: this event does not include a full meal. A cash bar featuring beer, wine, and bubbly will be open for the show."
