Ohio
In the heart of the Midwest, Ohio women 60+ are finding friendship and fun through The Ethel Gathering Groups. Hosted through private Facebook communities, local organizers help unite women for events like book clubs, brunches, and park walks. It’s a meaningful way to meet others who share your stage in life and your love of connection.
