Lakes Area Singles

"After being married for 21 years it was scary to think about going out as a single person again. The first several months I stayed home and licked my wounds, but then I needed to get out. I saw a story about Lakes Area Singles in the newspaper and decided to check them out. I have been an active member for 9 years and have made MANY good friends.

The nice part is that you can choose your level of participation. There are so many choices of things to do. My favorites are the house parties and game nights."

"I discovered Lakes Area Singles when I did a search on the internet.  I was tired of sitting home on Friday and Saturday nights, since most of the friends I had were married.  The calendar with many fun activities caught my attention.  I love to be active and do a wide variety of things.  The calendar has something for everyone.  I especially like campfires, hay rides, house parties with potluck meals, pontoon cruises, discussion groups, intertubing down a river, dance lessons, pizza party at the Arb and dining out with friends.  You can participate in as many or few of the activities as you want.  The membership fee is very inexpensive.

I was nervous the first time I went, but the warm, welcoming friendship I felt made me want to come again.  I was told I could come to three different events before making a decision to join the group.  I appreciated that because it was very non-threatening.  I like that Lakes Area Singles is a social group...a place where you can make friends and have fun (no more sitting home alone unless I choose to).  I now have many friends (both male and female) to do fun things with.  We have some very talented singers/musicians in the group.  I look forward to receiving the calendar each month to add some fun to my life and I've even hosted a couple events."
