Come join me on Meetup

Meetup is an online platform that helps people create and discover organized interest groups online. These interest groups are called “Meetups”, and each group hosts events on a recurring basis. Meetup helps you find, build, and engage with our online community in a way that leads to meaningful, real-life connections.


You can find out more about Meetup here:

I created the Virtual Pen Pal (VPP) community on Meetup to combat loneliness and isolation among older adults.  The Meetup Virtual Pen Pal community connects Meetup members with each other by encouraging human interaction on the safe and secure Meetup platform. 


Here’s a link to my Virtual Pen Pal group on Meetup.

Warm regards,

Come Join Me on Stitch.net



Stitch.net is a social community for adults 50 and older that offers companionship, activities, and events. Stitch recognizes that the need for companionship doesn't go away as people age, and that there are many different types of companionship that people can find on the site. For some people, this might be a romantic partner, while for others it could just be a friend.

Identity Verification

Identity verification is one of the most important aspects of Stitch. Ensuring that our membership consists only of real, verified individuals is one of the things that sets Stitch apart from pretty much any other community. That means getting verified is one of the most important things our members need to do before they start using Stitch.

Find out more about the verification process here:

https://support.stitch.net/en/articles/700314-getting-verified

 Stitch provides two free, simple ways to get verified:

 

  1. Using a photo of yourself holding up a unique code Stitch provides
  2. Getting verified by a Community Champion

Since I am a Community Champion, you can contact me and I can verify you.

Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you on Stitch soon! 🙂
