What we’re about
Welcome new friends! This group is for anyone interested in meeting new people through events such as dining out, happy hours after work, movie nights, vineyard trips, museum visits, and other activities in the Raleigh and surrounding area. Whether you are new to the area or have lived in Raleigh your whole life, this group is for you if you’re interested in making new friends.
Note: The expected age range is 28-45 years old. While we will not turn anyone away due to being younger or older, please keep in mind that the majority of members are looking to make connections with people in similar life stages.
We understand plans change or things come up, just please update your RSVP if you can’t make it, even if it is a couple minutes before the event. Due to a lot of people using meetup app do not show with out changing their RSVP, please note that at times the host might cancel if under 10 people respond. We will though try to give a couple hours notice if cancelled.
