What we’re about
Facilitating new friendship and leadership opportunities in Calgary for women in their late 20’s-40’s through a diverse array of events hosted by volunteers in a fun, low-stress, and drama-free environment.
A. WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
This is a drama-free group intended to bring women in their late 20's to 40's together to cultivate meaningful friendships with other Calgarian women.
There is no need to feel shy in attending events solo, the whole purpose of this group is to meet like-minded friends and foster connection. The majority of those attending events come solo, yet they leave with new-found connections.
If you have any ideas of events you'd like to see, please feel free to reach out to any of the event organizers. We are always happy to hear from you and love hearing your ideas and suggestions!

We find that events are much more successful if they are posted as formalized Events rather than on the discussion board.
