Who are we? Collectively, we are part of the largest percentage of the population, born between 1946 and 1964. We are strong women who are re-inventing age, seeing ourselves at least 12 years younger. We know who we are and what we want.  We are generally tired of social scenes where we are not as young as most,  but, certainly not "old"!  We wish we could just hang out, relax, and have fun with others our own age. We are on TOP of the proverbial "hill", not ready to start going downhill! We are …
