# Event Details - **Event Name**: Finding Friends - Speed-FRIENDING Event for Mid-Lifers (40s-60s) - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: An event designed to bring mid-lifers looking for new friends together to expand their social circle in a fun, low stress, interactive way!About this EventAre you in your 40s, 50s, or 60s looking to get out and make new friends? Come join us for a comfortable meet-&-greet designed to foster casual-yet-structured conversation!WHYMaking new friends isn’t always easy – back in school we mixed and mingled with a variety of potential chums all the time. If your job puts you in touch with a lot of people perhaps you still do, but that’s not the case for many gig workers, entrepreneurs, empty nesters, retirees, and others.If:now feels like the time to meet new people and forge new friendships, andyou’d like to take a purposeful approach, butyou aren’t sure where to start, or how to get beyond polite small talk,…then let’s give this a try! Come find your people, your tribe, you troop.WHOMidlife locals interested in meeting potential pals.The focus is on meeting people, enjoying conversation, and potentially forging new friendships so, please, no younguns and no soliciting.West Linn, Oregon City, and Lake Oswego are the focus; that said, you do not have to live or work in these communities to participate. All who are willing and able to be kind, respectful, and good-natured are welcome.WHATThe idea is something akin to Speed-Dating, though not necessarily with a romantic intention.We’ll pair up (regardless of gender or orientation, unlike Speed-Dating) to visit one-on-one for a few minutes, then switch partners and chat with someone new for a few minutes, and so on. There’ll be a brief opening warm-up exercise and optional conversation starter prompts. We’ll wrap up with a few minutes of group sharing.If and as you connect with others over shared interests, you’re encouraged to exchange contact info.** You might continue chatting over coffee or drinks when the meeting’s over, or schedule your own get together at another time. Attend additional Speed-Friending events to keep meeting new people, and follow up with folks on your own time as well to get to know one another better.COSTNoneCome -- expand your social network, discover new interests, and have a great time in the process.
