NTS is not accepting new members at this time. Please check back after Nov 1, 2024
**As part of the application process, you must contact Dianne Hewitt Dubois directly, by phone at the number listed on the application form or by email: peppergal50@gmail.com**
**It is imperative that you contact Dianne in order to complete the application process.**
All qualified applicants are placed on a wait list. The NTS Organizer team will review all applications and admit new members when we have openings in the group.
We intentionally limit the number of our members, to provide opportunities for seniors to make friends. By being age appropriate (60+), living within our designated territory and by organizers of NTS creating a wide range of activities for our members to enjoy, we hope to welcome those who want to actively participate. Once approved, you will have full access to our website and the ability to RSVP to our fully explained events.
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
NTS is a senior’s social group – NOT a dating club. We welcome married or single seniors who sincerely want to make new friends and enrich their lives. There are many “singles” and “mate seeking” groups and websites out there for you to join, if that is your primary intent.
·We are a private group. We reserve the right to deny or terminate membership, to anyone who cannot meet our membership criteria.
·Because our communications are all done via our website and by email, members must be computer literate enough to stay fully informed about RSVP’s and payment deadlines regarding admissions to events.
· NTS does not provide access in any form, for any vendor, agency or member to attempt to sell services or products to us, or solicit for any charity or cause. NTS is not a political or religious organization. We will not provide a forum for any agency, individual or member to attempt to influence us, as to their religious or political viewpoints.
· What we ask is that all members treat each other and the personnel at our venues with respect, tip appropriately, and respect the efforts of those who plan our Meetup activities. Those who are abusive, inactive, frequently cancel at the last minute, or are “no-show” more than two times or fail to pay for tickets ordered, are subject to removal from the group.
· We will usually post about 7- 8 activities per month, such as performing arts, live music, museums, guided tours, boat rides, one-tank trips, botanical gardens, Just Lunches, social gatherings, games and more. \*\*Active membership does not require attending everything – just those events where interest, availability and affordability align. By attending a wide range of activities you will get to meet and share experiences with those who have common interests. Voila = friendships arise! Some of our events are free and we also strive to get the best prices available (best seats, too) for the ticketed events.
· If you wish to be considered for membership, assuming that you qualify according to our membership criteria, then click on the “Join” button and start the process.
· Your profile must have a good headshot photograph of yourself (it’s a safety issue that we recognize you when you attend our Meetups).
· Your name must be real with a first and last name (just last initial is ok if you insist – but we have a bunch of Dianes, Debbies, Nancys, and Susans!) Contact Dianne Hewitt Dubois our membership coordinator at [peppergal50@gmail.com](mailto:candyotte@aol.com) or the phone number listed on the application. Your application will not be complete until Dianne hears from you.
· For our geographic perimeter: The pivot point at the intersection of SR54 & US HWY 41 must be within an approximate 25- 30 min drive time. This “boundary” is loosely defined as our territory. It would encompass New Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Lutz, parts of Land O Lakes, Carrollwood, East to Morris Bridge Rd and West to Suncoast Parkway. The purpose of geographic boundaries, is to promote frequency of attendance and access to carpool locations.
· To defray the cost of the website and other expenses, our annual dues are $15 ($30 for couples) payable January 1 of each year. For those joining July 1st, the pro-rated first year dues will be $7.50, payable when you are accepted. Dues are non-refundable.
