琉璃神社 seniors group Dine and Chat celebrated a successful Halloween event this year.

Fifty of the groups鈥� expanding membership dressed in their best outfits for the group鈥檚 festive get-together which was started by Gloria-Jean Seymour almost two years ago.

Larry Branson, a Roy Orbinson tribute artist, and DJ Gary L provided entertainment for the 60+ friendship group which has grown from 13 to 325 members since Valentine鈥檚 Day 2018.

On Oct. 30, the members celebrated Halloween with both new and old friends.

Seymour stresses that Dine and Chat isn鈥檛 a dating club, but the group鈥檚 growth shows that the club has become quite popular in 琉璃神社.

鈥淚t just went viral,鈥� said Seymour.

She said she still gets calls from people who took out the original ad almost two years ago.

鈥淚t鈥檚 spread to many seniors that are looking for ways to connect with similarly aged people with uplifting conversations and new friendships.鈥�

The weekly meet-ups, which usually garner 20 to 40 members at Deli City Cafe in 琉璃神社, have been going steady coming up on the group鈥檚 two year anniversary. So steady, that Seymour had to upgrade locations to accommodate the group鈥檚 growth four months ago.

鈥淲e were looking for a new and bigger place, and I got into my car and I see 鈥楧-C Deli City Catering,鈥� said Seymour.

鈥淒-C. Dine and Chat. It was meant to be.鈥�

The group meets every Tuesday at Deli City at 11 a.m. Seymour is already planning the next festive special event for November and December.
