About us
Hello! This is a group for people in their 30s and 40s in and around Arlington (Somerville, Medford, Waltham, Burlington, Woburn, etc.) who are interested in making new social connections!
We would love to meet you at one of our events! The group relies on members to suggest and organize events*, some of which have included dinners, hikes, game nights, book clubs, concerts, and more. If you have an idea for a Meetup, please message the organizers!
*We really appreciate members who open up their home to host events and want folks to feel comfortable doing so. Hence, we ask new members to attend one of our public events prior to RSVP-ing to events held at a private residence.
Attendance policy: Plans change, stuff happens. We definitely understand, so please let the host/organizer know by updating your RSVP. On the other hand, no-shows are inconsiderate and disrespectful to the host/organizer, as well as other attendees. Repeated no-shows may result in removal from future events and from the group itself.
The Arlington 30-and 40- somethings Meetup group is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion. That each member should feel safe and respected at each event is of utmost value to us. If any of our members have an experience at one of our events that does not align with this policy, we encourage you to bring it to the attention of the Leadership team so that it may be addressed it in a timely manner.
----------
The continued running of this Meetup group is made possible by the generous contributions from fellow members. If you enjoy our events and would like to support us, please contact a member of the Leadership team. All member contributions go towards paying the Meetup fees for running the group (approx $400+ tax per year). Thank you!

Jason Russell House: Beer Garden
Jason Russell House, 7 Jason Street, Arlington, MA, USLet's check out the First Arlington Beer Garden of the year!
Every Saturday this summer, outside the Jason Russel House will host a beer garden, music and food. Hopefully we'll have some good weather, and can meet up and chat. I'll also trying to bring a game (though feel free to bring your own!).
There's limited seating, so please consider bringing your own blanket or chair. I'll bring a blanket, but can't hold too many people :)
The event lasts from 2 PM -> 7 PM. I'll try to be here during the times listed on the event, but you're free to come and go as you please.

Arlington-Area 30/40's: New Member Brunch!
Menotomy Grill & Tavern, 25 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA, USPlease only RSVP if you're able to attend! I'll make a reservation ahead of time, and want to give the restaurant an accurate number.
Please join us for our "New Member Brunch"! During this time, I'd be interested in hearing what you're looking for from this group, and we can spend some time discussing that, along with getting to know each other. If you've joined the group recently (past 6 months or so), or have never attended a past event, please feel free to join us at one of these brunches!
We went to Menotomy Grill last time, and it was good food and easy to get to, so I thought we'd could do it here again: https://www.menotomygrill.com/
Meeting new people can be hard, and if you're a little nervous -- remember: We're all starting from the same place and here for the same reason! Let me know if I can do anything to help ahead of time.
Parking
Parking in Arlington is easy -- most streets have metered 2 hour parking, and side-streets are usually free (follow the signage of course). There's also a small lot next to the restaurant.If you have any questions/concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
