What we’re about
We are currently not taking new members. We will be open to new members December 1 - 31st.
Finding Female Friends Past Fifty Orange County (FFF>F OC) is the Orange County chapter of seasoned, interesting, and supportive 50-ish women (most between 40 & 65). If you're looking to develop friendships, you're in the right place!
This New York Times article highlights the founding of the Los Angeles chapter of FFF>F:

We are a group of women who enjoy fine dining, casual dining, summer bike rides, beach walks, casual hikes, paddle boarding, kayaking, live music, happy hour, athletic activities, comedy shows, live theatre, seasonal events and anything else that interests our membership.
One thing that separates us from other Meetup groups are our high attendance rates. Our high attendance rates result from our “zero tolerance for no shows” policy.
RSVPs and CANCELLATION
Please note: a single “no show” without an explained circumstance, such as emergency, will result in removal from the group. Notify the event organizer immediately if that situation occurs (bad planning is not an emergency). The same is true with two "late cancellations" (those within 48 hours of the event) will result in elimination from the group.
If you need to change your RSVP to Not Going, please do so no later than 48 hours prior to the event. This provides waitlisted members a chance to attend in your place. If you need to cancel with less than 48 hours, please contact the host with an explanation.
Lastly, we remove members who have not visited our Events page in more than three (3) months, we tend towards a closed group to give our active members high odds of attending events. We do, however, open the group periodically for new members.
As you engage to find Female Friends past Fifty, these requirements and guidelines are here to help you get the most from our group. To the extent the guidelines align with your personal values, please join us! We are looking forward to meeting you!
