This dynamic group is open to women, looking to learn new life skills and make new friends.
Welcome to Evergreen 55+, an event series designed exclusively for women aged 55 and older who believe in slowing down for the important things in life. This series is dedicated to bringing pizazz into this new chapter of life through the exploration of new and old friendships, shared hobbies, the joys of grandchildren, the complexities of adult children, and the pursuit of different interests.
At Evergreen 55+, we believe that one is never too old to live out their dreams, whether it's starting a small business, embracing a new hobby, or delving into the pages of a fun book.
The series features occasional speakers covering topics such as nutrition, exercise, travel, book reviews, navigating family life, overcoming losses, and accentuating the positive aspects of aging. We emphasize an interactive environment, where attendees are encouraged to be active participants rather than passive listeners.
