What we’re about
This meetup group is open to all, whether single or not. Meet other local 30s, 40s and mid 50-something folks in a variety of fun and relaxed settings. We can hit festivals, walk or bike, Farmer's markets, Flea Market, comedy clubs, brunches, dinners, game nights, house parties, hikes, outdoor activities, trying new restaurants, or hitting up your favorite ones, and the movies, basically anything we want ;o) Plus, your ideas for activities are ALWAYS welcome - just email the organizer! or request to become one yourself.
This is a group to provide a way for all ages to network. It is a nice opportunity to spend some time with the people who live around you and make some new friends. then this is the group for you.
This group is for anyone who is new to the area or just looking to expand that circle of friends. We are working to become a group that you can rely on to meet new people, try new things and experience Raleigh all while laughing and connecting with like-minded people. Our intent is to make this a fun place with diverse meetups so everyone can find something that interests them. Feel free to message one of your organizers if there's a particular event or adventure you'd like to see or if you'd like to become an event host!
In addition to being very friendly, we are a VERY diverse group of people with varied interests - some single, some with significant others, some with children, and others without. We look forward to meeting you at our next event!
Always be mindful of the commitments you make with your RSVPs so that we are able to accommodate accordingly, but most of, let's have FUN!
The only requirements are that you provide your first name, a valid HEADSHOT photo that allows us to easily recognize and greet you at our events (without dark sun-glasses or hats that cover your pretty face), and above all - be friendly!
We believe our members should be active and we encourage our members to try to attend at least one event within the first couple months of joining.
It takes time and effort to plan meetups: pick out places, make reservations, etc. It's not fair to others who have planned events and to those going to events if you decide to cancel last minute.
To be part of this group, I am asking you to adhere to these rules.
• Change your RSVP the day before if you can no longer make it. Cancelling the day of an event is not acceptable unless you have an extreme situation (e.g. last minute illness or other emergency). I once sat at a restaurant by myself for 30 minutes because 6 other people were all no shows. I understand things come up, but if you do this repeatedly, I will unfortunately have to remove you from the group.
• If you sign up on the waiting list, this means that you plan to go to the event if someone else doesn't. Make sure you monitor the event. If you have scheduled something else and can no longer go, then remove yourself from the waiting list. Lots of people cancel when the event becomes closer, so there is usually a good chance you will get in.
By joining the group, you agree that if you choose to participate in any given event, that you are freely doing so, and that you release all event organizers and home owners from liability or responsibility for your safety. Some events could potentially be dangerous in ways that may or may not be obvious. Some examples include, but are not limited to, sprained ankles while walking in the woods (or on flat ground), throwing out your back while dancing, tick bites if doing yoga in the park, and the list goes on... If you do not feel comfortable participating in an event, or if you do not believe that you can participate without causing injury to yourself or others, please do not participate in that particular event.
If you are looking to meet new people, explore new places, or just want to have a good time in the Triangle area, then this group is for you! Our group encourages community, friendship, and fun for all through a variety of social events. Whether you are new in town or have lived in the Triangle area your whole life, we encourage you to join us! All those in the Triangle are welcome to join!
