What we’re about
We welcome YOU to be a part of this group of vibrant, inspirational, creative and 'knowing women' in our late 50's, and 60's and 70's.
Based in Olympia, Washington, Olympia Boomer Babes hosts gatherings and events each month for friendship, fun, social activities, 'field trips' and bold and authentic conversation.
"Our mission as a group: To provide a safe and caring place for a woman in her late 50's, 60's or 70's, to create bonds that are supportive, loving, uplifting, and, most importantly, crucial to her sense of well-being. It's about prioritizing friendship and keeping each other close."
If you are an accomplished and fun-loving woman who would appreciate new friendships with like-minded women in a non-gossip, supportive, encouraging and 'we do what we say and say what we do" kind of environment, please send us a note of introduction.
We have GREAT gatherings and social events posted and we will continue to build our calendar into 2025. If you have any thoughts, questions or ideas, please message our fearless co-leader, Annemarie.
Here is what is true. This isn't a 'frosting' kind of group.
To create community, bonds and friendship, Babes participate in and attend 2 (or more!) gatherings a month. Each of us 'invests' in our Tribe and the results are reciprocity, love and care and fun!
$30 dues/contribution, (collected as needed, not annually), to cover annual Meetup dues, member gifts, hostess gifts, space rentals, operating expenses, event supplies, group extras, etc.
JOIN US/INFO: If you're interested in joining us, please click the 'join' button. You'll be asked 3 questions with a request for your phone number. Annemarie will call for conversation, to learn more about you and to share more about our Group. A conversation is requested before membership is offered.
NOTE: If a Babe does not show for an event/gathering 3 times, and does not notify the hostess of a last minute emergency, or take her name off the RSVP list and contact the next Babe on the wait list (each time), she will be removed form our Group. We thrive and grow together, with trust, respect and our personal word.
Boomer Babes ROCK!
