This Meetup group is for men and women in and around the Kansas City area who are interested in socializing and making new acquaintances and friendships in social settings. Our main objective is to meet new friends and enjoy fun events together. It's been a lot of fun so far! If you'd like to join but feel nervous about not knowing anyone in the group, either **Jan, John, Ed, the Event Hosts** or **I'll (Jeff)** be there to make sure you feel comfortable and welcome. **The Co-organizers and Event Hosts of this group are fantastic people and as far as I'm concerned the best we could possibly have to make this all work.** Our group is diverse, we enjoy welcoming new members at our events and we always welcome your ideas and feedback. Some things we like to do include happy hours, live events, live music, festivals and fairs, Pickleball, ball games, hockey games, car races, dancing, going to wineries and socializing. We also have an annual Christmas Party and in 4 years have donated over $1000 in gifts, food and supplies to local charities. Some of our goals are to have a minimum of one event per week, listen to all ideas from the group, welcome all people who attend each event the way we were welcomed our first time attending, make good friends and most of all just have FUN. We understand schedules change and conflicts occur, but if you sign up for an event and cannot attend, we appreciate you changing your RSVP as early as possible. This allows others an opportunity to attend. WAYS TO GET REMOVED FROM THE GROUP - We strive to make all our events safe, fun and drama free for all members. Any of the actions listed below will be dealt with promptly. \* Any member that has signed up for the group with a name or picture that is not your actual name or actual picture will be removed immediately. Honesty and integrity are important to us.  \*Removal from the group will be a unanimous decision from the leadership team.  We reserve the right to remove any member for any of the reasons listed above using our discretion. While we would prefer to never remove anyone from the group we will not hesitate to do so if we deem that anyone is doing anything to damage the groups reputation or any of the group members at our events. In addition, we expect that same behavior with venues staff and property. The venues we go to often make accommodations such as brining in additional staff to serve us. There are many other groups in the area that are available if a member is removed from this group. We will usually talk with you first if we have concerns but that may not always be the case depending on the circumstances. While dating may occur within the group we sincerely request that when someone says no that means no. **This group is not designed specifically for dating. There are plenty of groups that are.** This group will only accept advertising messages and solicitations for outside products or services with the approval of the group Organizer. Let's be friends! Thanks for considering joining our group! Finally, a huge thanks of gratitude for all the amazing people we have personally met and become friends with over the past 5+ years in this group. People come and go from our lives, but true friends remain in our hearts and minds forever. Thank You to the many true friends we have met!!!!!  Jeff, Jan, John, & Ed

Hello and welcome! Are you in your 30's/40's and looking to make new friends? Maybe you're new in town. Maybe you're going through a break-up/divorce. Maybe you just want to escape family life for a little bit and make some new connections. Most people you know are married with kids. You've been out of school for over quite some time. You've put the bar scene behind you many years ago. I get it. The older you get the harder it is to make long lasting connections. Especially in KC where most people already have life sorted out. This Meetup is here to help. Let's get together to make some fun new memories around the city. I'll be looking at a variety of activities with smaller groups so you can get to know new people and eventually make long-lasting friendships. You're never too old and it's never too late. What are you waiting for?

**JUST FRIENDS MEETING FRIENDS**   **RULES** By registering for this meetup, you agree to pay your dues within 30 days, always manage your RSVP, and be respectful to all members. If you cannot make an event, please be mindful and change your RSVP so we can have an accurate headcount and allow those on the waitlist to attend. This is not a love connection meetup group, so please be respectful to ALL members.   **HOW TO PAY $15 DUES:** **Zelle**: sherry.x.wiliams@gmail.com **CashApp**: $Sherry1027 **Venmo**: @Sherry-Williams-31 **PayPal**: (send as Friends/Family): sherry.x.williams@gmail.com **ApplePay**: 8168761144 **Meetup**: the cost will include the fee that Meetup charges for using their platform.   Annual dues are $15.00 per person and are due within a month after joining the group.

Our social group focuses primarily on singles that are 40 something and above (many in 50's and 60's) that enjoy getting out and doing things while making new friends along the way. Some members are interested in finding someone special, but others just like making new friends and enjoy our active community. We are an established fun group with a lot of experience "starting over." We tend to attract quality people you would be proud to have as a friend. Because our emphasis is social and making connections, it's very different from participating in online dating sites or dating services. Some members are interested in actively dating, some are not...each person joins us for different reasons. A few of our contributing members have become such an integral part of our group, they chose to continue participating after a status change. Alumnae are great inspiration for what the future may hold for other members. It's challenging to leave our friendly and supportive community once you've been a key part of it for years. At the same time, our primary focus is to support the needs of single people by offering a regular schedule of events members can participate in while meeting & mixing. We strive to be the "cheers" of Meetup groups.... a place where you are always welcome and many know your name. Rules: If you register for an event and find that you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible in advance by changing your RSVP from "Yes" to "No" on this meetup site or contacting the organizer. It is important that each event organizer has an accurate "head count" for event planning purposes and to relay to our event locations. Any member that RSVP's for an event and does not show up without cancelling in advance, risks potential removal or suspension from the group. Due to space requirements, some events have attendance limits and we run a wait list. If you have to cancel, please promptly change your RSVP so that others have ample time to be notified and can fill your spot. Our goal is to make connections with those you might not meet otherwise (both male & female) and most importantly to have FUN!!!! The more often you come, the more people you will meet! New members join us daily. We realize that issues may arise in any group from from time to time. If there are complaints about you from individual members for inappropriate behavior, you may risk potential removal from the group. If a member makes you uncomfortable for any reason, we suggest you address it one on one with that person assertively yet tactfully. Also...please keep in mind that some members are new to being single again and are trying to "find their way" among other singles. If vulgar, offensive, or other similar inappropriate behavior is happening through the Meetup site's messaging, please report it directly to Meetup.com administrators for further action. KC Singles reserves the right to remove certain members when we become aware a member is a convicted sex offender or has been convicted of a violent, fraudulent or dangerous crime. We also reserve the right to remove a member based on their criminal record, for safety, or other concerns. **We require that you answer a few profile questions in order for you to be a part of this group and to post a recognizable self photo. Please answer the profile questions seriously. A picture is required so you can be identified at the events. No Lurkers allowed! In addition to a real and recent picture, we ask that you use your real first name. Meetup is about meeting people and people have names, not handles. This is a social group not a message board. While we appreciate the desire for privacy if you want to remain anonymous, this group (and really Meetup period) is not the place to do that.** We look forward to meeting you at an upcoming event!

This is a group for people to push themselves to meet more people and communicate more. I'm sure you agree that it's been too much isolation going on nowadays. In this group, we're going to get out and communicate to more people. Do you feel you have been too introverted, thinking too much and not having enough human contact? It's time that you meet more people and find out what's going on in their lives. As a result, chances are you will find out that life is more meaningful than you have thought. This group is going to be useful for shy people, for quiet people, for social life improvement, and for career improvement, because in the workaday world, people who can communicate warmly, people who can talk about and promote something, and the people who can be assertive and lead are the people who rise up and become more valued by their colleagues and clients. Of course all of these mean you have to up your game on communication. Specifically, we will have workshops to practice communication, and we'll have workshops to discuss how to improve your social life. It's because communication and social life tend go hand in hand. You can't improve one without improving the other. You will meet professional communication coaches and learn from them, and you will meet other attendees whom you can apply what you have learned and practice communication with. This is a free group. Our pay is knowing that we have improved someone's life by teaching him or her better communication skills. We will have weekly free meetups on Zoom. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center. WHO IS THE GROUP ORGANIZER: I have been coaching people on communication skills for many years now, and in the recent years I have especially been helping people practice communication skills. I think communication is the most important thing in the universe. I look forward to meeting you and be of assistance.

Have you ever seen how unhappy a person is who is stuck in a bad relationship? On the other hand, have you ever noticed how much joy a good relationship can bring to a person? Especially if you feel like staying away from relationships for a while, you need the Lessons on Beginning a New Relationship! How do you start off a new relationship on the right foot? How do you avoid common mistakes? How do you make sure he or she is the right person for you? What are the red flags?

Kansas City can be isolating and difficult to connect with Black people across the diaspora who have in mind to celebrate African culture and ancestry. This group aims to bring together KC Africans, Caribbeans, African-Americans, Afro-Latino/a/x, and others in the African Diaspora for socialization and community. This group especially caters to first and second-generation immigrants who wish to celebrate Afrofuturism.

Making new friends 55 and are on a healing journey. Who want to make new friends late in life and wants to get healthy. For me I am 64 and never took time to make friends and have good strong relationships that can support each other. Then when you start having health issues like I do you don’t have anyone to turn to and then you feel more lonely because of it. From my research people who have close family and friends do a whole lot better with healing.

WHY KCBRO? If you're over 25, you might be one of many guys who've thought, "Damn, it's hard to make new friends, these days." As grown men, we get busy building our careers and families, slogging through the dating scene, managing our day-to-day affairs, sometimes moving from city to city, and then, \*boom\*: We realize our friends have become acquaintances, and we’d give our figurative left nuts to just bro out from time to time with some good buddies. I was one of those guys until, one day, I decided to take the bull by the horns and start a group for guys of all ages to connect with each other. So, KCBRO is now a thing that exists. Join up, and let’s get to it. No need to keep lone-wolfing it for the rest our days. WHO SHOULD BE A KCBRO? KCBRO is open to guys of all ages who want to hang out with other guys and do guy stuff together. What type of guy is a good fit for KCBRO? It’s not complicated: just good guys doing good things in life who want to make some friends, have some fun, and maybe come out the other end feeling better connected and supported among their fellow men. Maybe you're new in town, maybe you're coming up for air after years of working 80+ hours/week, or maybe you've been too X, Y, or Z to have time to make new friendships with other guys. Whatever your obstacle, this group just might be a solution. No “isms” or [insert-group-here]phobias of any kind. KCBROs are Good Guy Gregs, not Scumbag Steves ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/good-guy-greg](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/good-guy-greg)). KCBRO is not a faith-based or faith-promoting group, but I want us to keep a broad intention to promote healthy/upstanding living among ourselves and do good in our communities. Women are also welcome to become honorary KCBROs (after all, my two best friends are women). WHAT IS "GUY STUFF?" Guy stuff is anything guys do together: Playing 4-player Mario Kart 64 on a Saturday afternoon is guy stuff. Eating sushi in the Plaza is guy stuff. Sitting around, talking about life and relationships is guy stuff. Friday night horror movies and beers at Screenland Armour is guy stuff. Off-Broadway shows, Chiefs games, bowling, cosplay, MMA classes . . . Guy stuff is whatever we want it to be.
