What we’re about
Facilitating new friendship and leadership opportunities in Calgary for women in their late 20’s-40’s through a diverse array of events hosted by volunteers in a fun, low-stress, and drama-free environment.
A. WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
This is a drama-free group intended to bring women in their late 20's to 40's together to cultivate meaningful friendships with other Calgarian women.
There is no need to feel shy in attending events solo, the whole purpose of this group is to meet like-minded friends and foster connection. The majority of those attending events come solo, yet they leave with new-found connections.
If you have any ideas of events you'd like to see, please feel free to reach out to any of the event organizers. We are always happy to hear from you and love hearing your ideas and suggestions!

- TICKETED/PAID EVENTS
o Ticketed/paid events you will be required to send an e-transfer to the event host to hold your spot.
o Non-ticketed events that require a reservation may require a deposit to hold your spot. If that is the case, it will be clearly noted in the event description.

o We do not allow any sort of Multi-Level-Marketing events or promotion. This applies to all group activities including discussion posts and any virtual event.

However, if there is an event you are interested in organizing, please reach out to the Group Owner to become an Event Organizer. We find that events are much more successful if they are posted as formalized Events rather than on the discussion board.
C. HOSTING
o Are you interested in hosting? It can be a very fun and rewarding experience with a lot of creative freedom! Hosts are expected to host at least four times within a 12-month time period. Please reach out to the Group Owner if this is something that is of interest to you!
