I started a club for gals born 1946-1964 - (Baby Boomer Generation) It is difficult to make friends in our age group especially if you have moved into an established neighborhood. A new social club where once or twice a month to get together to do something different based on the groups interests. Perhaps a golf scramble game, lunch & a movie, thrift shop trip, etc. A variety of activities that are fun and non-competitive for gals.
UPDATE February 20, 2016: Over 165 gals are part of this group now. We are not registered with The Villages as we do not want a regular meeting at a rec center and we are growing very quickly simply by word of mouth.
We had our first get together at a luncheon at The Waterfront Inn at Lake Sumter Landing on December 17th and 37 women attended! We have various events; monthly luncheon at The Waterfront, potluck dinners, golf scrambles, various day trips outside of The Villages, mahjong, small book club. We don't have an event committee - every member is welcome to organize an "event" and several have stepped up to do just that. We have a closed Facebook page for our members to post various events, invite others for smaller group activities, etc. At this time no dues, no board - trying to keep it simple and keep politics and ego out of it. We have a few gals that each handle a task like FB admin, new member info, golf scramble scheduling, etc.
If you are interested in our club please email us at:

Looking forward to hearing from you!
