Friendships and Fun Mid life Womens Meetup Group

Dayton, OH

Hi and welcome. I’ve formed this group to fulfill a need many women in their 40s and 50s have, small social circles due to losing touch with friends as you nurtured a family or perhaps divorced, and “your” friends were his friends wives and girlfriends. Maybe you find yourself on a Friday dreading the end of the work week because you have no plans, and all your friends are still busy with families and unable to hang out due to other commitments. You may have also been someone focused on your career and now established and ready to enjoy a social life again. Whatever the circumstances are you not alone, there are many women struggling to regain or reestablish friendships and let’s face it, it’s challenging. I’ve established this group with the intent to help women in their 40’s and 50’s reconnect with one another, establish new friendships, and get out and enjoy life. As a plus but not the purpose of this group, if your single, you won’t meet anyone sitting at home, but when you are out living your life, you never know who you might meet! I envision starting out meeting up for dinner or drinks to initially get to know each other and then determining activities or events to attend based upon interests. Look forward to meeting up with you!

Dayton, OH

Welcome to the Animal Liberation Activist Support System Meetup! This group is dedicated to advocating for animal rights, promoting ethical veganism, and addressing social justice issues that intersect with animal liberation. We are a passionate, supportive community of individuals committed to making a positive impact through activism and education.

We believe in justice for all beings, human and non-human alike, and we stand firmly against all forms of oppression. It is through this logic as well as sheer necessity we are anti-racist, anti-queerphobic, and anti-ableist. We encourage open dialogue and self-reflection, recognizing that, despite our best intentions, we all carry biases shaped by societal conditioning. This is a space for listening, navigating emotional pitfalls and learning. We ask you to hold space for the possibility that you may be wrong and approach discussions with humility. We are all navigating a world influenced by systems that perpetuate harm, but through awareness, compassion, and solidarity, we can dismantle those systems together. Join us for insightful discussions, educational events, and actions aimed at creating a more compassionate and just world for all beings.
