About Us: The OC Singles Fun Life Meetup group is a group that was established on May 28, 2024. Our group is for Singles who live or work in Orange County, California and vicinity; and for people who are 45 years to 100 years young looking to enhance their social lives, meet with existing friends, and establish new connections and friendships. This is a Social Group for singles to make friends and socialize. If a friendship develops into relationship, then you have our blessing. This is also a private Meetup group. Our events and your membership are hidden from public view and non-members. Only members of this group are able to view our Meetup group’s full contents, events and members.
Our Mission: Our mission is to create Fun Social Activities and Events where we can enjoy the fellowship of other people and develop and maintain healthy connections and friendships. Events may include dining, hiking, walks in the park, picnics, taco Tuesday, a celebration, attending fairs and festivals, parades, live music events, online Zoom video events, tea and coffee, wine tasting, boards games, Christian events, volunteering, watching sports, car shows, happy hour, day trips, watching movies, day at the beach, train rides, and other social events. We also are open to your ideas and suggestions for events.
We Need Event Organizers: We value your ideas for events, so we encourage you to become an event organizer. For a meetup group to be of value and to grow, creative organizers for the group are necessary. Membership dues are waived for Event Organizers.

- ATTENDANCE & PARTICIPATION: Everyone who attends an event must RSVP and be on the "Going" list to attend. Those who are on the "Waiting List" or not on the "Going" list, will not be able to sit with the group unless there is an opening. Please keep in mind that when someone RSVP’s for an event, they are counted as an attendee. No shows create problems when making reservations at restaurants and venues. If you can’t attend or change your mind, please update your RSVP to “Not Going”, or notify the Host via text message or Meetup. Members who violate this policy will be removed from the group. Occasionally confirmation may be requested even if you already have RSVP’d. This is so that we can have an accurate head count for our reservation with a venue. Those who do not confirm will be moved to “Not Going”. What this means is that you can still go to the venue on your own but not sit with the group. Please have your Meetup notifications turned on and have access to your email for notifications. All members must participate in at least one event every two months. Those who do not will be removed.
- HEALTH & ILLNESS: We request that if you’re not feeling well, have symptoms of any contagious disease (cold, flu, Covid, cough, sniffles, etc.) we respectfully ask that you not attend any events to prevent the possible spread of infection.
- FEES & DUES: Annual Membership dues are $10 per person per year, plus a $5 Meetup processing fee, for a total of $15 per year. To avoid the $5 Meetup processing fee and only pay the $10, you can use one of the alternative payment methods: Venmo: @Albert-Lucero-724 or Zelle: 657-296-1119. These dues help offset the following costs: The costs of reserving a venue, printing signs, organizer's time to find and schedule fun events, the Meetup organizers annual Meetup subscription (now at $300 per year), and other related costs, which is a small price that allows you to enjoy an event filled with entertainment, fun, adventure, and friends. Event Organizers are exempt from annual dues. People with specific circumstances may also be exempt from annual dues, to be determined by an case by case basis. If a member decides to leave the group, or is removed for violating the Terms of Membership Policies, the Annual Dues are not refundable.

The group’s organizer(s), assistant organizer(s), event organizer(s) or group member(s) are not responsible, or assume liability for any injury, loss, damage, harassment to your own person (health, mental, physical, covid-19) or any members of your family, friends, acquaintances, children, pets, or property (vehicle, clothing, jewelry, accessories, electronic devices, etc.), arising directly, indirectly or as a consequence from a group activity (event). With that said, we do take compassion and consideration for your well-being and situation, in that we are here to assist you in any way possible if any of the above happens. You also agree that your membership of this group is based on an "at will" basis.
