There is a group of ladies that meet Saturday evenings at the El Santiago Rec Center at 7:00 pm. The majority are widows, several lost their husbands quite suddenly (one while playing tennis). Ages range from 60s to 80s. These women frequently do things together during the week as well. Your friend would be more than welcome to join them.
Thank you so much for this information, just what I was looking for. To be able to get out on a Saturday evening with companions who know how she feels would be great. Of course, you all must know, she is going to kill me when she finds out what I have done on this chat line!
