Majority of our events are based in Surrey but we do venture outside this area from time to time Participation is an expectation when joining our group, as we are an active club. Members who do not attend any events in 6 months will be removed from the group. We proactively review our member list on a regular basis. **\*\*Repeated cancels or last minute cancels** will have you removed from the group **\*\*NO SHOWS - 2 No Shows** to any events and you will be removed from the group. **\*\*Harassment and Belligerence** is not tolerated and will have you removed from the group All monies collected are used for various events and activities associated with running the club, such as cost of using Meetup to post our events (it’s not free) or rental of meeting rooms to host events are just some of the expenses. We host various events each month such as, Morning Walks, Ladies Luncheon, Ladies Dinner Out, Music Bingo, Movie Matinee, Theatre events depending on what interest members have. If you have an idea for an event or would like to host an event let anyone of the Organizers know. 55+ Women’s Circle of Friends is a wonderful way for women to meet other women, make new friendships and a great way to get to know the community if you are new in town.

Our Group is for Singles in their late 50s, 60's & 70s that want to get out and enjoy life with others having similar interests. Our members have varied interests from dining, dancing, walking,hiking, biking, movies, etc. Suggestions for events and activities are encouraged! You can never have too many friends. Most events are held in Surrey or Langley. Rarely on the other side of the bridge. Being Single and having a RECENT & RECOGNIZABLE picture are both a requirement to join the group. If you meet someone and become a "couple" you may remain with the group for as long as you wish. Out of consideration for everyone **PLEASE DO NOT RSVP "Yes" and be a "No-Show".** Change your RSVP to "No". No one likes to go to an event and realize they are there all by their lonesome. Also this gives everyone a chance to see who is going and arrange carpools - good for the environment. Thanks to all. Remember this is your group so if there is something you'd like to see happen - you can make it happen !!! Also please note we like to see active participation so if you've been inactive for a few months or more you'll likely be removed from the group - nothing personal - we just don't want to be an online social group but a "face to face" group. Get off that couch if you dare !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there! This group is for people who are into sharing an afternoon coffee or tea with some other lovely folks. We're here for good conversation, sharing stories, telling jokes, making friends, and just enjoying one another's company. We will be meeting in and around New Westminster at different coffee shops or community places that are welcoming and can fit a group of people.

A couple of things to note...

We're all about peaceful and friendly time spent together. Our hope is that this group is a welcoming and inclusive space for people off all different backgrounds and abilities. We're all about welcoming new people, but please be sure to always be respectful of one another.

Also, if you have any ideas, feel free to share! We're happy to have you host one or more events if you're comfortable, or just share your ideas and we'll try to make it happen. In nice weather, we're not opposed to spending time outside!

\- Please note that new members now need to pay their annual membership fee of $10 before having their membership application approved\. \- you need to E\-TRANSFER $10 to: davidbt2001@gmail\.com \- If you do not do any electronic banking then you need to find a friend who does and have them do it for you\. Paying in cash at an event you attend complicates our accounting and record keeping\. Just be sure to text 604\-316\-3007 and note that a payment from say JOE BLOW is for the membership of say JANE DOE\, where that applies\. Thank you\. This group is now 18 months old, is growing extremely fast and has 16 organizers. There’s something for everyone - older than 50 that is. That is why we are waiving any ‘trial period’ before payment is due. ————————- Hello members, new and old, Please take the time to read this carefully, it is important. This Meetup group is special not only in that it caters to a very specific age demographic, it is (although probably not unique) in its goals, somewhat atypical. The group seeks to encourage members to see the group as a place to take the first step toward building REAL actual friendships, those that exist separate from Meetup. In other words it is not only for fleeting encounters, or 'hit-and-run' social sessions leading to skin-deep relationships and acquaintanceships. Many social studies show that the single biggest ingredient in overall human happiness is social connection, and in particular the ***quality*** of relationships, rather than quantity. We also know that there is a global pandemic of social isolation and that Metro Vancouver is particularly afflicted. The word REAL speaks volumes in my opinion, and it also happens to be the opposite of the online or digital kind of artificial friendships. It so happens that each of the four letters in the word REAL can stand for important dimensions of real friendships. \- R is for RECIPROCAL\.  Surely real friendships between two people are marked by reciprocity, of many kinds, but mostly both parties initiating contact with the other. It doesn't need to be 50-50 but if it's 90-10 then one or both parties might become resentful. \- E is for ENDURING\.  It takes time to build real friendships and after substantial investment of time and emotion, do we not all want the friendship to last for a long time? \- A is for AUTHENTIC\.  If somebody is only interested in keeping your company because they are getting something from you such as money, prestige/status, business networking or advice, or sex, that doesn't seem like a truly authentic friendship. \- L is for LOCAL\. The likelihood of a friendship developing in the first place is dramatically enhanced if these *two hypothetical people live close enough to meet easily fairly often.* So that's the lie of the land folks, this is long enough so I will draw it to a close for now, but really it is also important to set out the FOUR FACTORS that I and others believe make for the most successful Meetup groups. 1\. Having LOTS of events 2\. In mostly SMALLER groups \(5 to 9\) 3\. A WIDE VARIETY of events so the group has appeal to many different kinds of people 4\. Events in MANY NEIGHBORHOODS to satisfy the L for LOCAL requirement set out earlier\. Love, peace, light.

**Join Our Mundy Park Women's Walking Group! 🌿** Our urban forest walking group focuses on health, fitness, and friendship. Inspired by Eckhart Tolle's philosophy of being present and living in the Now and the Japanese practice of forest bathing (Shinrin Yoku), you'll experience the healing benefits of nature, reduced stress, and enhanced well-being as you connect with like-minded women in a beautiful, natural forest setting. **Why Join Us?** **Embrace Nature and Health:** Immerse yourself in Mundy Park's serene environment and experience the profound health benefits of Shinrin Yoku. (Shinrin in Japanese means "forest," and Yoku means "bath." Shinrin Yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere or taking in the forest through your senses.) This Japanese practice of engaging your senses in nature will boost your immune system, lower blood pressure, alleviate stress, reduce cortisol and improve your mood. Walking in the woods enhances your overall physical and psychological well-being, making every step a step towards better health. **Forge Friendships:** Connect with like-minded, health-conscious women through intimate, engaging walks that foster lasting bonds. Our community is supportive and motivating, cheering for your wellness goals and providing encouragement at every step. **Be Present:** Inspired by Eckhart Tolle's philosophy, our walks encourage you to be fully present in the moment. Savour the sounds of the forest, the scent of the trees, and the beauty of sunlight filtering through the leaves. This mindfulness practice helps you relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy a deeper connection with nature and yourself. **Perfect Pace:** Our moderate walking pace strikes the ideal balance—energizing yet gentle, allowing for enjoyable conversations and scenic appreciation. **Experience the Difference:** * **Trail Adventures:** Explore the 4.3 km Perimeter Trail, where fitness meets nature and friendship flourishes. * **Health Benefits:** Enjoy a workout that's kind to your body but effective, boosting cardiovascular health, mood, and energy levels through walking and Shinrin Yoku. * **Welcome All:** Bring along your furry friends for added fun and motivation. **Be Part of Our Community:** Step into a world where health, nature, and social connections intertwine. Mundy Park's urban forest trail is more than just a walking path; it's a journey to a more joyful, active, and present life. **Membership Information:** The annual membership fee of $7 gives you unlimited access to all our scheduled group walks in scenic Mundy Park throughout the year. This small fee helps cover our group's annual costs for using the Meetup platform to organize our walks. When you join our Mundy Park Women's Walking Group you will discover the magic of forest walking and take the first step towards a healthier, happier you surrounded by like-minded friends. **🌿** I'm looking forward to many enjoyable walks together! Warm regards, 😊 Julia 🌿

Please remember that these businesses require these seats to earn a living. We want to be respectful in ensuring that we don't cause financial loss by overbooking. GROUP RULES The following are in place to keep everyone safe and having fun: Please be respectful of others, in every way possible. This is not a dating group. Anyone found trying to use the group for hookups will be removed immediately. Respectful mutual connections established in-person are permitted. Please don't message anyone (other than hosts) before meeting them in person. Stalking, harassing, inappropriate behaviours, comments, or messaging will have you removed from the group immediately.

Finding an event that combines socializing and parenting can be challenging, but as a busy father, I've been there. My top priority is my child's development, and I also want to expand my social circle. That's why I'm organizing a unique meetup that blends parenting with socializing. My 7-year-old son and I love visiting local coffee shops on Saturdays, where we both enjoy activities we love. For these visits, I've developed a series of engaging STEM programs that go beyond the regular curriculum (and yes, there's time for video games too). While our kids dive into exciting STEM activities on their iPads/Phones and make new friends, we parents can explore our hobbies, interests, and meet new people. If you're interested in meeting new friends outside your social bubble and want your kids to learn something new while having fun, come join us!
