I’d like to introduce you to TheĀ  Loveland Over Fifty Meetup Group. It is open to anyone in the city of Loveland and the surroundingĀ 5-mile radiusĀ of over the age of 50. The Loveland Over Fifty Group’s goal is toĀ  enrich the lives of local residents over 50 by offering opportunities for fun social events, lifelong learning and interaction within the community.Ā We’re 67 Members strong…Ā Join us!

Here is the latest event we are going to attend:

Artists Guild Art Show

 

  • We will be there exactly at 1 p.m. if you want to meetup with us at the beginning. Ā There are three floors of art work and stunning architecture. Ā If you have never been to Green Acres Art guild, you are in a for treat. Ā This is the Nippert Home in Indian Hill that has been converted to an Art Museum. Ā The house is absolutely gorgeous and the grounds and gardens are breathtaking.

    Ā This event is free. Ā Meet and Greet with Greenacres Artists Guild Member, Joe Smith,October 30 @ 1:00 pmĀ –Ā 3:00 pm.Ā 

    Joe will talk to you about his artwork and how he tackles each painting. Ā Stop by to learn about the time, preparation, and method of execution that goes into creating each of Joeā€™s detailed paintings.

    Directions: Ā Arts Center

    Turn Ā off exit towards Indian Hill. Ā  Turn right on Spooky Hools Road. Ā When Spooky Hollow Road dead-ends into Blome Road, turn left. Go 0.6 miles down Blome Rd and turn left into Arts Center Entrance. The Arts Center office is located in this building.


The intent of this group is to form friendships and bond within the group. I would like to form a “tribe” within the community where we can all share common interests and goals that lead to friendships.Ā  That is why I am limiting the zip code radius within 5 miles of Loveland.

Fifty is the time for creating new ideas, friendships, activities and volunteer opportunities. Do you want to travel? Let’s find some places to go! Do you want to find some new interests? Let’s find some new educational or others class opportunities!Ā  Do you have extra time and would like to volunteer? There are plenty of volunteer opportunities available for you to lend you talent. Loveland and the surrounding area has a great historic downtown, great nature sites, a new bustling expansion of the local downtown, wonderful artisans, sporting opportunities, and a new place for the farmer’s market. Come explore with us and see what the city of Loveland and the surrounding area has to offer while making new friends!
