What we’re about
Circle of Friends is a fun, welcoming social group for women and men in their 50s and up who enjoy good company and shared interests. We bring people together for dancing, live music, social outings, and relaxed get-togethers in a friendly, inclusive environment.
Our leadership team uses experience and AI-assisted tools to thoughtfully evaluate events, focusing on activities that are enjoyable and worth your time. When planning, we also consider proximity to venues through an optional, anonymous map where members may share their general location if they choose. This helps us select better locations while always respecting privacy. Member feedback matters to us, and we strive to feature talented artists in great settings and foster a strong sense of community.
Many of our members join Meetup to meet new people and build lasting friendships, and we’re happy to connect and collaborate with similar Meetup groups.
One small but important request: if you plan to attend a Circle of Friends event, please sign up on our page. Recently, we almost canceled an event due to lack of interest when in fact fifteen people actually attended. Signing up helps us plan effectively, choose the right venues, and gather helpful feedback before and after events.
If you’re looking for a warm, active group with thoughtfully chosen events and people who enjoy being part of the experience, you’ll feel right at home. Let’s get out, have fun, and make some great memories together!
