We meet at events like you have just described - at DeCordova, at Pierce House ( First Day, 4 th of July), at Codman Farm, at the Library, and sometimes at events at the schools ( Town Meeting, eg), and Winter Carnival. …just a few examples. …just a reality check.

I arrived at 6 and was disappointed not to see anyone in my age group (over 75), but I bought an interesting non-alcoholic drink and went out on the terrace to mingle with the young adults and their beautiful, active children. A woman with a lovely little daughter said she'd met me at the dump (how Lincoln!), and we commenced to talk about how we had both grown up in Lincoln (I in the '50's, she I think she said in the '90's). We both had lived in California when Covid hit in 2020, and ended up moving back to Lincoln. She told me about her work and we discussed how we found Lincoln after living in California. She asked me for my contact info and we agreed to get together for coffee in the future. I went into the shop to get a plastic cup for the remains of my drink, and struck up conversation with a man and his wife, both more or less my age, who were waiting in line (the only other people my age I saw while I was there, they in the company of their family and small children). He was into the Hanscom expansion opposition, and we had an animated conversation until I felt I had to leave to get ready for a trip in the morning. We exchanged info about where we lived and they invited me to stop by. When people ask me what I want in a Community Center, I say a place to meet people without a specific date. This is what I got at the Twisted Tree DeCordova last night. I haven't related to the often-mentioned notion of intergenerational mixing in the context of a Community Center, but I enjoyed last night mixing with younger people and their children. -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.
