About us
Are you looking for a partner, lover, or new friends? Are you tired of online dating sites? We have an alternative for you. We created the Santa Cruz Singles 50+ Social to connect with other like-minded and available individuals.
We will host monthly gatherings, including mixers, picnics, hikes, musical events, game nights, and more. Each event will have limited attendance to foster quality socialization.
We look forward to sharing new friendships and possibilities with you.
