SOLO AGERSÂ
Join us for the launch of our new Solo Agers group!

This member-facilitated group is designed to bring solo agers together in a welcoming, supportive space. Each month, participants will connect, share experiences and explore topics like building social connections to discovering ways to engage in the community. Together, the group will also brainstorm and plan fun outings, activities and opportunities to meet new friends. Solo agers are invited to be part of this growing community.
