40s and 50s Living Life!

40s and 50s Living Life is about just that, living life. We're a social group whose main purpose is to give you a way to meet new people your age and an opportunity to share your experiences with other people here in Rochester, NY by participating in a wide variety of events.

We're a fun and open group. What makes our group great is that each of us have the opportunity to host meetups. Don't want to dine alone? Host a meetup at your favorite restaurant and see who else can come. Heard about a cool new band? New movie? Or just want to chill in the coffee shop? Host it.

If you don't feel comfortable hosting, don’t fret, there are meetups popping up all the time. Choose the one that fits best with your busy schedule.

Whether it's your first or 50th meetup, know you are always welcome.

We are not a singles group. People in any relationship status are welcome to join.

Qualifications for this group include:
* being a member of 40s and 50s
* you must post a picture of YOURSELF (a close-up that is easy to recognize you, with only you in the picture). This is a private group so we need to know what our members look like. We can't look for you at an event if we don't know who we're looking for!
* you must provide your real name (first name only is needed) as your screen name.

To keep the experience of our meetup events positive for everyone, please keep in mind a few simple guidelines:

* RSVP: Please be courteous to your fellow members who host events. By joining this Meetup, you agree to update your RSVP prior to an event if you cannot attend. If you have RSVP'd 'YES', please change your RSVP to 'NO' if you can't attend an event. Please be considerate and change your RSVP if you can’t attend an event. This is especially critical if there is a waiting list. (If you don't plan on attending an event, it's not necessary to RSVP "no".) PLEASE NOTE: The Organizers reserve the right to remove you from the group if you are a no-show at too many events.

*Guests– Most meetup events will allow you to bring a guest. The number of guests is set by the event host. Most events that are posted are targeted for adults but if an event is kid-friendly, the host will indicate that in the description.

*Comments/Photos/Discussions– The comments/photos/discussions section of the event and group pages are for items relating to that specific event and/or the group. Comments, photos, and discussions must align with the interests and guidelines of the posted event and/or the group. The Organizers have the right to remove comments, photos and/or discussions.

* HOSTING EVENTS: All members can suggest or host events! Just contact an organizer! To schedule an event, contact an Organizer with the basic details. They will post those details as an event and assign you as the ‘Event Host’. Event Hosts can edit the event's details, manage the RSVP list, and generally act as the 'Organizer' for that specific event.

*Types of Meetups – We encourage a wide variety of activities to be posted. Examples are dinners, movies, shows, happy hours, and many others too numerous to list here. Our group is a fun, low-key, social group and to keep it that way, there are only a few types of meetups that aren’t allowed.

Types of Meetups not allowed
• Solicitation- No soliciting. Members are not allowed to post events in which they have a personal or professional gain (private or not-for-profit) if people attend.

• Promotion – Members are not allowed to post events in which they are a participant in the event (i.e. sporting event, music performance). Members who post events must be available to be a host for the attending members. It is permissible to host an event if it’s a group activity where everyone participates (i.e. skiing, bowling…).

• Any event that is illegal or offensive isn’t allowed.

* Meetup Terms of Service– Keep everyone’s experience positive, make sure you’ve read the legalese that is linked to every page on the website (Terms of Service).

We look forward to seeing you at a meetup event soon!
