About us
The purpose of this group is to bring together Black people over 50 who enjoy socializing, exploring new places and experiences. Us 50+ folks still like to get out there and enjoy life too! Events will be held locally within the Baltimore/Washington area and some trips to exciting destinations will be planned. This group is for you if you have the desire to explore and do not want to do it alone.
Below are the group rules:
1) There is a zero No-Show policy. Please RSVP to events when you are sure you can participate, and if you must cancel, please do so in a timely manner and/or connect with the event host in a timely manner. Individuals who RSVP and do not attend or communicate with the event host, are subject to immediate removal from the group.
2) A current photo of members is required (and please do not add a photo from childhood or 20 to 30 years ago). This way, the group Organizer and members can put a face to a name and the group feels a bit more personal. Exceptions will be made (e.g., photo of flowers, paintings) for those that are already well known to the group Organizer personally.
3) Inactive members who do not participate in events or log onto the group website are subject to removal after three months of inactivity.

National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC)
Location not specified yetMuseum visit for Juneteenth weekend
The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), colloquially known as the Blacksonian is a Smithsonian Institution museum located on the National Mall in Washinton, D.C. It opened its permanent home in 2016 with a ceremony led by President Barack Obama.
The NMAAHC is the world’s largest museum dedicated to Arican-American history and culture. The museum has more than 40,000 objects in its collection, although only about 3,500 items are on display. The 350,000-square-foot, 10-story building (five above and five below ground) and its exhibits have won critical praise.
Saturday Hours: 10am – 5:30pm
Free Timed Passes:
All visitors must have a timed-entry pass to enter the museum. Advance timed-entry passes are released 30 days in advance on a rolling basis.I will add a note in the comments section when the passes become available and the selected time, so that those interested can go to the website and get their passes.

Transportation:
Taking the metro into DC is a great option. I plan to drive to the Greenbelt metro station and take the Green line to the L-Enfant Plaza stop, and then the Blue line to the Smithsonian stop. The museum is a 5 -10-minute walk from the metro stop.10 attendees
