This is a group for women who are 50+ and live in Santa Cruz County and the surrounding areas. This is a social group, and we focus on being positive, having fun and making friendships. This is a member driven group. Any member can organize events or share an interest with the group. (Hiking, art, lunches, potlucks, book club, game nights, happy hours, etc.)
Pay membership fees under the Santa Cruz Women's 50+ Social Group Meetup membership dues portal, which takes credit cards.

Most of our events are small and we usually end up with a waitlist. We're not able to move wait listers to the yes RSVPs the day before the event.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: If you have not paid your $20 dues, the meetup platform automatically will remove your membership after the 30 day trial period. If you would like to be a part of the group, please "rejoin" and pay your dues.
