What we’re about
We are active singles, age 60 & over who get together in West Denver Metro area, mostly for Happy Hour & music venues.
GLADLY is an acronym indicating where our events are held: Golden, Lakewood, Arvada, Denver West, Littleton & Yes… other West Denver communities like Wheat Ridge, Morrison & Genesee.
Please Be Aware:
This IS NOT a "dating site." If we find out a member has messaged someone before ever having met them, they will be removed from the group.
This group makes it a priority to be friendly and welcoming to new members. If you are looking for a group where you will be welcomed and accepted, if you are looking to make new friends in the area, then this group is for you!
To maintain our friendly atmosphere, we ask that guests refrain from voicing their political, religious or Covid vaccine opinions at our events. These are very sensitive subjects and are apt to cause discourse. If we find out you have brought up these banned subjects, you will be removed from the group.
To maintain our welcoming atmosphere, ask that attendees do not save seats, REMOVE or ADD chairs to a table. There will always be enough seats for everyone. We strive to have an equal number of attendees at each table so no table is left with just a few people. When someone is told the seat they are about to sit in is saved, end up a table with only a few people, it can make them feel unwanted and not part of what they may perceive as the "in-crowd".
Bottom Line - We want our events to be fun and welcoming to all!
This group strives for a mix of 1/3 guys, 2/3 gals at our events. To achieve this, we may move people from the wait list, to "a confirmed" attendee ahead of earlier responses. Understanding this policy is a requirement of being a member of the group.
NO-SHOW POLICY
If you find you cannot attend, please try and cancel 24 HOURS prior to the event. That way those on the WAIT-LIST will be changed to GOING with a reasonable amount of notice to attend. Any cancellation less than 5 hours before the start of an event will be considered a No Show.
Additionally, MAKE SURE to remove your name from the WAIT-LIST once you can no longer attend with whatever time is left.
The system can change your status from WAIT-LISTED to GOING with VERY little notice. Sometimes people have emergencies and can't attend at the last minute, and sometimes the venue is contacted and agrees to accommodate a few extra people. If you are changed to GOING, and you do not attend, this is also considered a "No Show."
Members will receive a warning for their 1st No Show. After that, those who acquire 2 No-Shows in 6 months may be dropped from the group.
Emergencies are always excepted.
Due to demand, we are not accepting guest requests. To attend events, you must be a member and be listed as GOING.
· IMPORTANT NOTE: All events are “participate at your own risk”. Life is risky. No organizer is a professional meeting planner or guide. By signing up for any of events – social events, trail walks, concerts or any other, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your own health and safety.
