Welcome to The Ethel Gathering Groups!
Ride the wave of friendship and fun by joining an Ethel Gathering Group, an offshoot of The Ethel Circle. The Ethel Gathering Groups are private Facebook groups led by Group organizers who host local in-person events. Whether it’s a lunch, creative workshop, walk, or themed gathering, the Groups aim to give Ethels the chance to connect, socialize, share personal experiences, and develop friendships in their area.
