WHO WE ARE
We are an organization for mature gay and bisexual men of age 40 and
over (and at least age 21 if sponsored by a senior member). Our
primary purpose is to provide members with opportunities for
friendship and support and to create a collective voice for mature gay
men in the gay community. We are part of Prime Timers Worldwide, an
international and constantly growing network of 80 chapters in major
cities across the United States and Canada, and in Australia, Europe
and Mexico.
WHAT WE DO
We meet on the first Saturday of every month (except July and
December), socialize and listen to someone speak on a topic relevant
to our interests and concerns. Afterwards, we adjourn for a happy
hour/mixer at a local gay pub. We have semimonthly kaffee klatches,
monthly brunches, lunches and meal sharing in members’ homes. We also
schedule day trips, walks, movie nights and theater outings.
