Who are we? Collectively, we are part of the largest percentage of the population, born between 1946 and 1964. We are strong women who are re-inventing age, seeing ourselves at least 12 years younger. We know who we are and what we want.  We are generally tired of social scenes where we are not as young as most,  but, certainly not "old"!  We wish we could just hang out, relax, and have fun with others our own age. We are on TOP of the proverbial "hill", not ready to start going downhill! We are …

If you were born between 1946 and 1964, you know you're a "Boomer," whether you care for the label or not. As Boomers, this Meetup group will probably not stray far from our cultural image as described by these adjectives: idealistic (or at least we were when we were young); liberal-leaning and likely Democratic or Independent as voters; educated (with a college degree--and for some of you overachievers--graduate degrees); fond of good conversation, music, the arts, the sciences, food, wine/beer …

Nearly everyone has a "I drank too much tequila when I was in college" story, bad memories or aversions. And others, may go into a bar and be what we call, "try-curious" about tequila, but are intimated or confused by the many choices available. Tequila is such a dynamic, interesting, wonderfully rich spirit. There are so many excellent blends and for people who like fine wine or crafted beer, there are lots of similarities. Through tasting events, in a non-intimdating and welcoming way, we prov …

I'm a hostess, promoter, coordinator, and matchmaker by nature. Since moving to Portland, I decided to make my joy my job, which is networking people and making beneficial bonds. I love to dance and make introductions, so this group is for people (singles, entrepreneurs, newcomers) looking to make new connections through me from all the networking I do already. I'll share all that I'm up to, over the weekends and hope to make many friends make more new friends, and perhaps even fall in love. Sin …

New to town? Too much free time on your hands? Like to read? Like to be social? This group is somewhat of a mishmash, but the idea is to have monthly book club meetings as well as social events. There aren't really any kind of general purpose meetup groups in Eugene, so in addition to book discussions I'd like to also be a bit more of a general purpose social group for those new to town or looking to get out and meet people. We try to do a wide range of events to accomodate varying interests. …

Are you an empty nester looking to meet new friends and start that next chapter in your life?  When my daughter moved on to college a couple of years ago I realized that most of my women friends were those I associated with at school functions, band functions, etc. and I no longer had as much contact with them now that our kids were off on their own.  So I decided to try and form a meetup group for women at a similar stage in life as myself to develop some new friendships.  I would like to sched …
