I lived and worked in the SF Bay Area for most of my adult life, so my network of friends is basically there. After retiring, I moved to Denver as that is where what little family I have is located. Other than family, I did not know a single person here. I decided to get involved in the local senior center, and have made quite a few new friends there. I volunteer a couple of days each week for a few hours, sign up for various bus trips of interest, attend informative classes, and play a variety of games. It keeps me both social and active. There is also a gay community center in Denver that offers a variety of activities for seniors. I have also met a few persons that way as well. The senior center is 5-6 minutes from my house, so much more convenient for me to participate there several times a week, meet people for lunch or dinner, or just to hang out at the park and engage in conversation. The gay community center is about 45 minutes by car, so not nearly as convenient.
