Staying active physically, mentally and socially keeps us healthy. Adults often do "adulting" which generally means doing tiresome activities, and not playing. To stay young at heart we need to play. Come play with us!

Sep 23, group formed Host wanted and appreciated! Do you want to organize a hike in your area? A neighborhood walk in your local park or Reid Park? Details: Women's hiking in and around the Tucson area and occasionally a day trip. And some walking events like Sabino Tram Road at Night. Other fun activities such as Botanical Gardens, hiking then lunch, or swimming after hiking or a walk. Really, anything someone might suggest, generally outdoors. I hope to get hosts that want to organizer walks in their neighborhood. Hikes will be intermediate. About 5 to 7 miles. The mileage and elevation will be noted on the event so you can pick your level. We will enjoy our surroundings, look around, maybe identify a mountain range and flowers in season. Yet not a mosey, more being in tune to what is around us. Pace, relaxed pace but not beginner. I've noticed on all the trails it is easy to fall, and have seen tooo many. You have to have acquired some skill in navigating with poles, navigating around thorny trees and rocks with ease so as not to fall and to keep up even the pace is relazed but not slow. This meetup is a sub-set of 50 plus Hiking and Activities but for women only, so there may be cross posting on both sites. welcome - tell your friends to sign up. Grace

Welcome

This meetup group is for those who practice kindness and non-violence toward all animals and would like to see a moral paradigm shift, whereby animals are no longer regarded as resources to be owned and used. As vegans we choose not to commission the exploitation of animals when it comes to our choices for food, clothing and entertainment.

You are encouraged to join if you are not yet vegan but are interested in becoming vegan. Whether you're the sort that takes the immediate plunge and never looks back, or finds yourself easing into it - you will find the group friendly and eager to support you and provide resources!

Vegan Tucson will also have meetups including dining, nightlife, outdoor activities, and field trips, providing the opportunity to take a timeout from a world of systemic animal use and find an oasis where you can socialize exclusively with others who view our world through the same lens you do.

We are a group of ladies, 50 and beyond, looking to make new friends and have fun with women who enjoy going to breakfast, lunch, happy hour, dinner, playing games, outdoor activities and any other suggestions such as book and movie discussion groups and special events. Most activities will be on the East to Central side of Tucson, BUT we are open to other locations! Our group is the perfect place to make lasting FUNdamental friendships, so please join us on this exciting journey. We will collect dues of $5.00 a year. The dues are used to pay for the fees charged by meetup.com to have this meetup listed.

Hi All! This group was created as a way to build friendships through weekly Tumamoc walks while throwing in some other awesome activities from time to time. The focus is on socializing more than fitness (If you're the maniac seen sprinting up that 2nd to last switchback, this might be the wrong group for you ^_^). For that reason, this group is perfect for 20-30 somethings in the Tucson area who love to get outdoors but aren't die-hards. Other activities could include bowling, karaoke, going to public events around the city, and more! We also typically get something to eat after our weekly hike, so bring your appetite if you have the time!
