About us
The purpose of this group is to bring together Black people over 50 who enjoy socializing, exploring new places and experiences. Us 50+ folks still like to get out there and enjoy life too! Events will be held locally within the Baltimore/Washington area and some trips to exciting destinations will be planned. This group is for you if you have the desire to explore and do not want to do it alone.
Below are the group rules:
1) There is a zero No-Show policy. Please RSVP to events when you are sure you can participate, and if you must cancel, please do so in a timely manner and/or connect with the event host in a timely manner. Individuals who RSVP and do not attend or communicate with the event host, are subject to immediate removal from the group.
2) A current photo of members is required (and please do not add a photo from childhood or 20 to 30 years ago). This way, the group Organizer and members can put a face to a name and the group feels a bit more personal. Exceptions will be made (e.g., photo of flowers, paintings) for those that are already well known to the group Organizer personally.
3) Inactive members who do not participate in events or log onto the group website are subject to removal after three months of inactivity.

Afternoon at The Wharf
The Wharf, 760 Main Street SW, DC, USLet’s enjoy an afternoon at The Wharf! We will start with lunch at Capitano restaurant and then walk around and enjoy the shops and other things going on at The Wharf.
The Wharf in Washington, D.C. is a large waterfront destination with numerous event venues, from large concert halls like The Anthem to intimate spaces in hotels like the Pendry and InterContinental, and unique outdoor areas like the District Pier. It offers a variety of settings for corporate events, weddings, and large festivals, alongside a year-round calendar of free public events, live music, dining, and shopping.

Transportation:
Taking the metro into DC is a great option. I plan to drive to the Greenbelt metro station and take the Green line to the L-Enfant Plaza stop and then take the SW Neighborhood Shuttle to The Wharf.
The Wharf offers a SW Neighborhood Shuttle that is free and open to the public. With daily service and short headways, it’s easy and convenient to take the shuttle between The Wharf and SW Duck Pond, L’Enfant Plaza Metro, the National Mall, and additional parking at L'Enfant Plaza.6 attendees
