The Ethel Gathering Groups: California
California’s diverse landscapes are now home to equally vibrant communities of women through The Ethel Gathering Groups. These private Facebook groups give older women the chance to meet face-to-face in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. Whether it’s a beach stroll, an art class, or a coffee meetup, these gatherings help women stay social, connected, and thriving.
Join us for fun events, fresh faces & unforgettable moments. From brunches to beach days—we know how to have fun. Be part of it!
From Santa Cruz to San Luis Obispo, we’re a lively mix of women—some retired, some still rocking the 9-to-5. We laugh, we talk, we connect. Come for the conversation, stay for the community!
From Pasadena to Pomona, We love books, good times and great company. Join the fun!
From mountains to beaches, we’re fabulous women who get together and have lots of fun. Join when you can—we’re always glad to see you!
All surrounding areas of Sacramento- from Fairfield to Chico, Auburn to Placerville, El Dorado Hills to Elk Grove, and West Sacramento are our circle.
We’re active and artsy, and craft fairs, harbor walks, and lifelong learning are our jam. Lively events and great company—what more could you want?
