update 11/13 - please ill out this form with your availability: https://shorturl.at/dPsP3

hi crew, it's emma! I hope everyone is hanging in there and taking care of yourselves + your people this week.

I'm based in prospect heights and I'd love to organize a gathering for brooklyn / nyc based gals who are looking to build genuine connection and community!! thinking of something during the first or second week of December 💖 we can figure out the details once we have an idea of how many people are interested - so comment down below to let me know.

LFG! love this and you should deff do it! Tagging our Elpha Hang community (elpha.com/c/elpha-hangs) for elpha member driven meetups :)
thanks so much @iynna πŸ’–
I gotchuuuu 😊
Also @KathyjHenry did something in April (I sadly couldn't make it but i believe it went very well!!) in case you ladies want to connect (even outside of the meetup) Also @ajasinger @ellepin have planned before so maybe they want to tag team but even then, the NYC is SO SO big that having multiple meetups is totally fine and welcome :) otherwise tagging you some members who are in NYC and might want to attend or tag team on cohosting: @Savage @ruthieberber @mjrebolledo @charlieesmith @isabelleserrano @jennmoran @florenceholdeman @jwynona @lynette72 @DenishaFreeman @lavparker @ImaniBK @joannaB @dianazelikman @elizaG @andriaj @amandahosang @IsabellaZhang @nuphar @tanyarai @mika @aliyaesmail @hanna @mendezp1 @anniehe @jlynn @hyobinsung @abigailtovar @alyssasyarbaini @Maitrip13 @anishabhandari @shadmakhan @maggieblackburn @osatomeri @valk
I’ve also aged out of this one, lol. If it’s open to late 30 somethings / early 40 somethings and up (or if anyone wants to organize something else for us old folks πŸ˜†) let me know
Same boat! Ageism is real
My age disqualifies me from involvement in this meetup lol
Yeah I would love to, please send me the info!
Thanks @iynna for the tag! @emmayeeyick I would definitely be interested in attending, let me know if you need help coordinating!
Hey Emma! I’d love to attend if you have enough people interested. Lmk how I can help if you need! 😊
Would love this! I haven’t participated in a meet up yet and would love to get more involved (I’m close in Park Slope too).

The age limit is really disappointing.
Agree! Seems counter to the point of this space and very limiting.
i'd love to come!

Count me in!

I'd love to join! And happy to help brainstorm some potential meet up spots in brooklyn especially if we need some indoor options
would love to join!
Gee, I'd be interested but unfortunately you have an age specification. I'm an older woman working in content. This post is excluding me. What happened to being inclusive?
Let’s have our own β€˜don’t give a toss what are you are’ meetup :)
I’m interested!
Interested
πŸ‘‹πŸ½ all!! so exciting to see so much interest for this gathering πŸ’– please fill out this form ASAP to indicate your availability, and if you're not free in December, fill this out if you'd like to stay in the loop for future meetups: https://shorturl.at/dPsP3 πŸ’Œ a quick note: in no way meant for this to be exclusionary, rather the focus was meant to create a space for people who might be navigating similar life transitions and milestones together to connect. (I've received feedback on this at past events!) some of my most treasured friendships and mentorships span generations and I'm sure everyone in this thread can agree. If anyone would like to organize additional meetups, I'd be excited to help amplify and get more gatherings going across the elpha NYC community!! cc: @isabelleserrano @staceypsmith @lisawang1998 @miekotominaga @DivyaB1 @MichelleRojas @oliviamullen @teresaman @domprieto @ShanieceWilson @gabriellefeliciano @summerlindman @ImaniBK @JennLeung @nehajoshi @aliciaolivas @PriyaPatil @osatomeri @bytiffanywong @daryar @OliviaMihaljevic @jessmchang @kaitlynclarktx @maneeshapanja @nataliarolim @skdesign @tianaco @jennifwei @shirleyjiang @msue @mscazzero @ninajoung @jessicapei @maggiec @Natalya
If you’re limiting it to a certain age, then yes, it is exclusionary. Everyone navigates different milestones and transitions at different ages, and I have a hard time believing that was the feedback you got - you don’t want women who are 35+ hanging out with you. If it’s just a meetup, it should be open to everyone. I’m dissapointed that Elpha has allowed you to continue to organize this on their platform without eliminating the age requirement.
So rather than address your ageism you want us to organize our own πŸ˜‚
