Why We Started
We noticed a gap in the local community – many people over 50 were feeling isolated and disconnected. Chai & Chat was created to change that and bring our community closer together.
What People Say
What makes this group so special is how every single person brings their own unique talent, life experience, and wisdom to share.

One of the things I value most is being able to dip in and out depending on my life schedule, and still feel comfortable picking up where I left off.

There's no judgement here, only open ears and open hearts. Everyone has a voice, and what's lovely is each voice is heard.
