In Michigan, The Ethel Gathering Groups are helping women 60+ connect beyond the screen. Organized through private Facebook groups, these in-person gatherings happen across the state, from Detroit to Grand Rapids to the Upper Peninsula. Whether you’re walking in the park or sharing stories over coffee, it’s about creating a sense of community and belonging.
From coffeehouses to zoos, we explore Southeast Michigan together! Join us for lunches, laughter, and lively outings with new friends.

These private Facebook communities, designed for older women, create in-person opportunities to connect—whether it’s brunch, a group walk, or a shared hobby. Led by local hosts, the gatherings help turn online friendships into lasting bonds.
