The Ethel Gathering Groups: Oregon
In Oregon, community and nature go hand in hand—and The Ethel Gathering Groups reflect both. Women 60+ join private Facebook communities to find local events and real connections, from coffee shop conversations in Portland to nature walks in Bend. It’s a thoughtful, uplifting way to meet others who appreciate life’s next chapter.
From summer picnics to Bingo pub nights, we’re a lively group in Northern Oregon. Join us for laughter and local fun!
In Lane County, we gather around good food and great books—especially while we wait for the sun to lure us out to play!
