What we’re about
A Group for Vibrant Women of a Certain(ly Magnificent!) Age to Connect in Our Local Community
Do you reject the notion of the “invisible middle-aged woman”? Yeah, me too. I believe passionately that women in their fifties and beyond have energy, creativity, style, and a timeless elegance that we've cultivated with our years of interesting and diverse life experiences, and that the best years of our lives are still ahead of us.
If that's the way you feel, too, and you're in your fifties (or a little older or younger and possess this same spirit), join us!
Our events aim to be simple, positive, light-hearted occasions to get to know one another better. To facilitate meaningful conversations and accommodate the smaller size of our local venues, attendance for events is sometimes limited.
Can't wait to meet you!
Upcoming events (4)
See all- "Bourbon and Thrifting" - 1st in SeriesTreasure Chest Thrift Store, Afton, VA
At a recent event we were talking about the pleasures of bourbon. That naturally led to the pleasures of finding good deals at thrift shops (well, of course it did!). It was only then we realized we have a resident expert on BOTH subjects, one of our very own Magnificent Women, Kat. Alas, we were next faced with a daunting dilemma: what is the logical pairing with thrift shop finds...bourbon, wine, or beer? Like the magnificent women we are, we immediately decided to embrace the challenge and find out for ourselves, one by one.
For this first event (which may, if successful, become a series of different towns, thrift stores and libations), we'll visit these places: Rockfish Community Center's Treasure Chest Thrift Store in Afton, Mountain House Trading Company (to sample their flavored of honey, mead, and other products), The Green Olive Tree thrift store in Crozet, then lunch and drinks at Fardowners. - Brunch and Warm Springs Soak: Omni Homestead Resort and SpaOmni Homestead, Hot Springs, VA
A sunny Spring Sunday morning in May is going to be the ideal time for us to take a jaunt to the Omni Homestead Resort (recognized by Time Magazine as one of the World's Greatest Places For 2024!) to soak in the warm springs there. Read about the fascinating history of it here: Warm Spring Pools | Hot Springs in Virginia | The Omni Homestead Resort & Spa
When the time gets closer, we'll figure out where to meet and if some women want to carpool.
Here's the agenda:
9:00 am: Leave Staunton for Hot Springs, VA
10:15 am: Arrive in Hot Springs - have Brunch (location TBD - suggestions welcome)
1-2 pm: Soak in warm springs ($35 for an hour's soak)
2:00 pm: Leave to return to Staunton
We'll share specifics in early May with those who sign up.
Doesn't this sound fun?! - Dinner and Drinks at Blue Mountain BreweryBlue Mountain Brewery, Afton, VA
One of the best things about Blue Mountain Brewery is its view of the Blue Ridge Mountains AND the wonderful view is a bonus, because their beers and food are really good, too.
We have a big outdoor seating area reserved for this event, so the more Magnificent Women the better to enjoy food, drinks, and sunset on the mountain.
Can't wait to see you there!
