What we’re about
This group originated in Alexandria where I picked it up from the original owner. It is open to both men and women! We were active for a few years before I had to stop. It's been a long time... but we're back (!!!) However...
We have a COVID SAFETY POLICY. I am fully vaccinated (actually 2 1/2 vacs, long story) and I am requiring that everyone else also be fully vaccinated in order to attend ANY of our events. I will ask to see your official proof of vaccination upon your arrival at all events. If I am not comfortable with what you provide for some reason, I reserve the right to negate your attendance. But I hope this won't happen.
Additionally, for now, I ask that you wear or bring along a mask in case you are close to others outside of the group that are not masked, or you engage in extended, close conversation even with members, etc. I will be wearing mine as often as I feel the need. Although our area is highly vaccinated, there is still about 25% that are not. And, our age group is most vulnerable to this virus. I want "everyone" not just a few, to be comfortable at all of our events, including outdoors, and to feel free to enjoy themselves.
We are at a special time in our life where for most of us it is time to focus on ourselves, to find our own individual interests, perhaps to go back to old abandoned interests; a time to play, laugh and enjoy, to stretch outside our comfort zone, to be free, and to share good times with our peers. This is a very important time.
We are a spirited, friendly and welcoming group of seniors who are almost sixty, in our sixties, and beyond, who want to explore and enjoy all that life has to offer. We want to do that together, as a group. We have the opportunity to develop actual friendships along the way.
We envision both indoor and outdoor activities; our usual core of lunches, brunches, dinners, sometimes breakfasts or morning coffee chats; but also festivals, fairs and wine festivals, movies, theater, musical shows, art exhibits, walks, bicycling, perhaps an occasional yoga or meditation group, Hmm... perhaps ballroom lessons and dances, eventually even day trips, etc.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is our time. Come and join us!
