Girls Wanna have fun

Welcome to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! This group is for you if you like to have fun while meeting new people and forming friendships. We are a fabulous group of women in our fifties, sixties, and up! Married or Single! Our activities include restaurant tours, outside events and activities. Check out our events. We like good food, fun, and meeting great people.  Don’t forget to ‘turn on’ meetup notifications to be notified of our fun events as soon as they are published.

We want everyone to have a great time in the group, we’ve had to adopt some ground rules:
MEMBER REQUESTS must be approved by the organizer, you must be 50 years old or older to join, your profile must show a picture, profiles that are empty or nearly empty may not be approved.
GUESTS: There will no longer be Guests accepted to our events due to Security and Legal Considerations. Your friend(s) are welcome to join our group and RSVP for themselves.

CONTACT: A contact phone number will be required for ALL reservation and pre-pay events. Valerie will reach out to you via meetup message, do not post personal information in a comment or public forum. The event organizer will text each attendee two days prior to these types of events to confirm attendance, a response is expected within 12 hours or we will assume the attendee is no longer interested and allow the next person on the ‘waitlist’ to fill that spot. We understand some members may prefer not to share their personal contact information, there will be many events where reservations/pre-pays are not required and we hope you will join those, but we will not be able to accommodate you for events requiring reservations or pre-pays without contact information.
Unfortunately too many reservation events have had last minute ‘no-shows’, this is a problem across many Meetup groups, to the point where some groups have been told not to return to some venues, we have experienced that as well. It’s not fair to the venue as they prepare for the number of attendees on the reservation; or the members on the waitlist that miss an opportunity to attend. Please be assured that your personal contact information is kept 100% confidential and will never be shared. 
WAITLIST: Turn on notifications to be sure you are notified when an event spot has opened up. Meetup automatically moves the next person on the ‘Waitlist’ to the ‘Going’ list. If you’re no longer able to attend please remove yourself from the ‘Waitlist’. 
NO-SHOWs:  If you respond to an event and are unable to attend please remove yourself from that event at least 24 hrs prior to the event and allow the next person on the waitlist to have that spot. For events requiring reservations, after one NoShow you will be restricted from events requiring reservations for 3 months. For all other events after three NoShows you will be restricted from events for 3 months. It’s not fair to ‘Waitlist’ attendees that could miss an opportunity to attend that event. We do understand that last minute emergencies can happen, in this case please contact the event organizer.
SPAM: No spamming members, sending unsolicited emails or in any way harassing members, you will be reported to Meetup.com with a request to remove you from the entire site.
NO DRAMA ZONE: We want everyone’s time here to be enjoyable therefore we cannot tolerate excessive complaining or negative comments about events or members. Not all events will interest everyone, look for ones that you’ll enjoy. We aim to plan a wide variety of fun events that should appeal to a variety of members. This IS A SAFE environment for all our members and disrespecting a member will not be tolerated, you will be removed. This is a no drama zone. We DO WELCOME improvement suggestions and event ideas and would love to hear from you.
CHARITABLE DONATIONS: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun prides itself on supporting its community.  At this time the group supports St George Soup Kitchen.
COSTS: Meetup charges a yearly fee for each group. Valerie covers this cost and has chosen NOT to pass that expense along to the members.
RESPONSIBLTY: Your participation in any of our activities is your acknowledgment that you are solely responsible for your own assessment of your abilities and your physical fitness to participate in that activity. By joining any event you agree to waive all rights and claims for damages against Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, it's Organizers and Assistant Organizers.
