What we’re about
Hola,
My name is Chris, I'm not a senior but I figured I'd try to find a group for my Dad to check out. Since there weren't many around St. Pete I decided to create this one and see if there was a demand for social senior activities. I think Meetup is an awesome way to connect people, I suggested to my Dad that he posts some of the stuff he does including getting coffee, walks, bike riding and kayaking. He's a snowbird and is down here during the winter months.
I figured there's probably a good amount of people in a similar position as him and it might be a good idea to start a group like this.
I have some experience putting together Meetup groups so I decided I could develop the framework for this one and let people run with it.
Here's how it's going to work. Anyone who wants to step up and host an event can. Whether it's staying active or meeting for a happy hour, there's no restriction and no limits. Just shoot me a message if you want to become an event organizer and put on some events.
Anyways I enjoy constructive feedback as well so if there's something you think could improve the group definitely let me know. I've been doing meetup events for about 10 years now and have a bit of insight on what makes a good group. For example an organizer who can put together regular events, negotiate with local business owners for happy hour specials, provide nametags and be welcoming definitely helps the group become successful.
I'll set up a few membership questions so you can share a bit about yourself and learn a bit more about other people in the group. OK that's about it, let's see how this goes.
