What we’re about
Hello Friends,
Our Meetup is all about good company, meaningful connections, and memorable experiences.
From poolside hangouts, beach walks to happy hour laughs, artsy afternoons, movies, sailing, to game night giggles—we like to keep things lively and low-pressure. Whether you’re diving into a craft, a conversation, or the deep end, there’s something for everyone here! We pick venues with heart (sometimes haute cuisine but not too often), so please don’t judge the host if the fries are floppy or service is slow. No cliques, no pressure—just good vibes and great company.
I understand that life happens—especially when health and energy can be unpredictable. All I ask is that you update your RSVP as soon as you're able, to keep things running smoothly. No guilt, no stress—just do your best and take care of you!
If you have not paid your $20 dues, the meetup platform will automatically remove your membership after the 30 day trial period.
Thanks for your understanding!
Many thanks,
Susan

See all- Coffee & Art ShowThe Buttery, Santa Cruz, CA
Hello Friends,
Please join me for coffee/tea at the Buttery followed by an Art Show: the 94th California Landscape Exhibition! We'll meet at the Buttery at 1 pm to chat for a bit and then walk (or drive) to the Santa Cruz Art League to view the art show. The walk is less than 10 min.
The California Landscape Exhibition is a tradition almost as old as the Santa Cruz Art League itself. In its 94th year, this annual event features artists from all over the state, celebrating the beauty, diversity, and majesty of California. If you enjoy landscape art, this is a must-see exhibit. I'm a landscape painter and excited to share my love of art with you!
One of my local watercolor paintings was accepted into this show.
