FFF>50 is an all-volunteer community where women >50 come to connect, make friends, and share their passions and expertise. Please, become a member and use us. As soon as you join, you are able to attend, create and host events (no size too small or too big).
This is our San Francisco Bay area chapter. It's for finding, attending, and hosting in-person events. If you want to attend and create online events, you'll also need to join our National chapter. You can find all our locations on our website: https://www.FFF50.org
Once you become a member, just use one or both of the links below to become a host. If you want help doing that (whether brainstorming ideas, or using the MU event creation page, or anything else) just reach out to me, Dale, at [email protected]

If you're a member of any of our local chapters, I have a great way for you to meet other members who live nearby. I call them 6@6, meaning 6 members at 6:00—or 10@1, 8@12:00, etc. You just fill out the form below, and I will post your get-together for you. Nothing could be easier!

This is an announcement, not an event (unless you make it one)!
We're in a loneliness epidemic, which is affecting not just our emotional, but our physical well-being. Don't believe me? Listen to the advisory of the U.S. Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8pa506BFk4
I started FFF>50 in 2016 out of my own challenge in finding friends as an older woman. FFF answered the call. Let us help you! At the click of a button, you can make a gathering where local members can connect in person. Don't worry about the tech, you provide the specifics, and I will post your event for you!
6@6 HOSTING FORM
https://forms.gle/XtDoVeZXV5L8TXiw9
These intimate, local gatherings are called 6@6 (meaning 6 guests at 6:00). But they can be 4@10, 10@2, or whatever you want.
Here's what LA member, Toni, said about hosting her first 6@6:
"At first I was nervous. But as soon as everyone got there, it disappeared because everyone got along so well. Being the host gave me permission to introduce myself and strike up the conversation. So my usual inhibitions didn't get in the way. At the end, everyone thanked me. They even asked if we could do it weekly!"
Just click here to start one. You will be helping others along with yourself.

- Let's Explore the Oakland Vegan TrailShangri-La Vegan, Oakland, CA
If you are plant-curious and have a genuine interest in exploring the diverse and nutrient-rich world of plant-based foods then you need to join us as we eat some incredible dishes along the Vegan Trail.
Oakland is the center of a plant-based movement, and its vibrant vegan food scene is like nowhere else, reflecting The Town's unique diversity.
We will be exploring the Oakland Vegan Trail - an online gastronomic guide that boasts 20+ plant-based restaurants found in The Town.
"With a surge of interest in health, environmental sustainability, and compassion toward animals, plant-based diets have leaped from being a niche preference to a mainstream movement. Vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians are not only looking for sustenance but also for a culinary adventure that mirrors the diversity of their omnivorous counterparts. This shift has heralded a new era for plant-based cuisine, where innovation and taste meet in delightful harmony."-Markys.com Blog
This Month's pick is Shangri la Vegan.
***Please bring cash to settle the bill.
And please only RSVP if you really intend to join. No-Show's when reserving a seat at a restaurant table is Very Bad Etiquette...so please cancel 24 to 48 hours preferably so someone else can fill the seat. Thank you! - Tamara de Lempicka at De Young, San FranciscoDe Young Fine Arts Museum, San Francisco, CA
# Tamara de Lempicka
With works that exuded cool elegance and transgressive sensuality, Tamara de Lempicka (1894–1980) helped define Art Deco. Her paintings captured the glamour and vitality of postwar Paris and the cosmopolitan sheen of Hollywood celebrity. This exhibition — the first major museum retrospective of Lempicka in the United States — explores the artist’s distinctive style and unconventional life through four major chapters. The more than 100 artworks on display range from her post-Cubist work in 1920s Paris to her most famous nudes and portraits to the melancholic still lifes and interiors of her final days in the United States and Mexico. Including an in-depth look at the artist’s drawings and studies, this exhibition reveals the creative process behind her iconic paintings.
