Hello Lovelanders,

I’d like to introduce you to TheĀ  Loveland Over Fifty Meetup Group. It is open to anyone in the city of Loveland and the surroundingĀ 5-mile radiusĀ of over the age of 50. The Loveland Over Fifty Group’s goal is toĀ  enrich the lives of local residents over 50 by offering opportunities for fun social events, lifelong learning and interaction within the community.Ā We’re 67 Members strong…Ā Join us!

The intent of this group is to form friendships and bond within the group. I would like to form a “tribe” within the community where we can all share common interests and goals that lead to friendships.Ā  That is why I am limiting the zip code radius within 5 miles of Loveland.

Fifty is the time for creating new ideas, friendships, activities and volunteer opportunities. Do you want to travel? Let’s find some places to go! Do you want to find some new interests? Let’s find some new educational or others class opportunities!Ā  Do you have extra time and would like to volunteer? There are plenty of volunteer opportunities available for you to lend you talent. Loveland and the surrounding area has a great historic downtown, great nature sites, a new bustling expansion of the local downtown, wonderful artisans, sporting opportunities, and a new place for the farmer’s market. Come explore with us and see what the city of Loveland and the surrounding area has to offer while making new friends!
