In North Carolina, from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the coast, The Ethel Gathering Groups are helping women 60+ come together for companionship, support, and joy. Through private Facebook groups, local hosts organize events like picnics, painting classes, or afternoon walks. It’s your chance to meet women near you who are ready to connect and thrive together.
