Activity Groups For Over 40S

Easy Hike Along the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail

Join this new group to be a part of our first ever event (be an OG)! ...a brisk hike on the Heritage Trail, along Goose Creek, to the Potomac River. We'll rendezvous at the Riverpoint Drive Trailhead and follow the shoreline to the Bazil Newman Riverfront Park. This easy hike along the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail covers approximately 3.5 miles of clearly marked dirt trail, with about 40 feet of elevation gain. We may see some deer. The hike itself should take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete. Bring plenty of water; full cover clothing is suggested, as this is tick season and mosquitos are still active this time of year. All participants assume all liability for their own participation. Accidents are always possible; no one will be held liable. Some attendees might elect to go get a refreshment or a bite after the event itself; however, the Meetup event itself formally ends at the trailhead. Looking forward to meeting you for this inaugural Meetup event!

Open Bar & Seminar (Free but RSVP required)

After hosting successful events, I always think that we could have done better and relate it to our day to day life and make it educational. In this connection, I wanted to show off my investment and trade hat and organize series of Happy Hours around Investment & Trade. We will have speakers from different sectors and industries, at each Happy Hour. At this particular event, the speakers will discuss Retirement Saving (With An Overview of Interest Rate & Housing Market). Topics will include: • Today’s retirement savings challenges and approaches • Sources of income in retirement • Proper investment strategies • Current interest rate environment and what to expect going forward • State of the housing market The address will be sent to members, who RSVPed, before the Event. Enjoy!
