What we’re about
What We ARE: Social Sisters is a small (keeping it at 20 members or less), Lunch group meeting every other Thurs, to develop new and solid friendships with like-minded women that are in the same phase of life: 55-65 years old; Residing in or close to Brentwood/Franklin/Nolensville area (as that is where we will mainly dining); Empty nesters/grown children; Retired or working very part-time; Newish to the area and are having trouble meeting friends; Are looking for close relationship(s) with women that you can also do things with outside this group too.
We may also go to movies, on walks, or visit places that require mobilization.
The intent of this group is to find long-lasting friendships with women that we can talk to and do things with all year long!
Because this group is small, attendance is important as the goal is friendships, not acquaintances. Please do not sign up if you are extremely busy or travel often and can not attend regularly.
What We ARE NOT: This is not a place for you to come to market your business or products on; a group where you sign up for events and continually cancel (if something comes up last minute contact me), no-show without reason; a group where you don’t participate; a place where RELIGION, POLITICAL VIEWS, or any topics/language that make others uncomfortable are discussed.
I will be keeping the group small and the number of guests at lunches will be kept to 10-12 so that we can really get to know one another. I will do everything I can to make sure that all members feel safe in this group. This is a group that is strictly female. I am requiring members to fill out a profile questionnaire (including first and last name), upload a recent photo, and include an email address. I will not respond to those that do not meet those criteria.
HOSTING DUTIES WILL EXTEND TO OTHERS BESIDES MYSELF. What this means is that we will take turns deciding where we go and the ‘Hostess’ (you) will be the one to contact the restaurant and tell them (warn them 😊) that we are coming and how many of us there will be. Or you can make it whatever kind of event you want, as long as it is on our scheduled Thursdays. Newbies can take a few months to get the feel of things before having to host.
Because this is a very small group, rules will be strictly enforced. Removal from group will result if: you cancel within 48 hours 3x's (contact me if there's an emergency). No show an event 2 x's. Do not participate in a group event at least once a month. Remember that this is a small group with the intention of strong friendships, it is not for those who have very limited time.
WE WILL BE SPLITTING THE COST AMOUNG THOSE IN GROUP. Current dues are $20 for one year membership until we renew again in 11/26. Please note that organizer makes zero profit and is paying the same or a bit more than those in group.
HERE'S TO ESTABLISHING THE VERY BEST OF FRIENDSHIPS!!
