What we’re about

Cheers to joining what I know will grow to be a vibrant community of 40-somethings in the Hampton Roads area. There is no age requirement just a vibe requirement. We are here to foster new connections and friendships while enjoying social networking events, happy hours, outdoor festivals and so much more, primarily in the Southside. Have an idea for something we should try? Send me a message!

Please note:

  • All events are for adults only, unless the event details specify that children or pets are invited to attend.
  • I often limit the amount of people who can attend an event. Since we are a new group, this is the best way for attendees to make meaningful connections without feeling overwhelmed.
  • Individuals who attend an event without being on the "going" list may be flagged or removed from the group. The group organizer reserves the right to remove any person from membership or leadership at any time.

Profile photo & Username policy. Effective October 10, 2024:

  • All members should have an identifiable profile photo that will help me know who I am looking for. Your username should include your first name, or whatever you prefer to be called.
  • If you have been asked to update your photo and/or username to follow this policy and don't do so within 7 days, you will be removed from the group.

Attendance policy. Effective October 10, 2024:

  • Individuals who RSVP to an event and need to cancel should update to "not going" at least 24 hours before the start of the event. Anyone who doesn't show up and doesn't update their RSVP within this timeframe will be flagged as a No Show/Didn't Go. Giving a 24 hours notice isn’t just kind but it allows our wait list time to adjust if they're moved to the Going list.
  • Individuals with 3 or more No Show/Didn't Go events may risk being removed from the group. If something urgent comes up within 24 hours of the event, please contact me within 2 hours of the event. I understand that sometimes things happen that we can't predict so attendance adjustments may be waived for extenuating circumstances.

Group Dues Policy Effective 10/10/2024:

  • Starting January 1st, 2025 there will be an annual fee of $15 per member. As you know a lot of meetup groups have shut down due to the change in the structure of Meetup subscription fees. Dues will not only help cover subscription costs but help with hosting more events to keep our group thriving.
  • Any member who has RSVP’d AND physically attended at least ONE event hosted by this group between 8/1/2024 and 12/31/2024 will be exempt from dues until 12/31/2026 as long as you attend at least 2 meetups in 2025. All others will begin a 14-day trial period after which you will lose access to group events until the annual dues are paid.
