We hope you will enjoy being a part of our organization of people who have come together to share experiences related primarily to their status as unmarried, single people.

As you start to attend our events, you will meet many interesting individuals who come from all different walks of life. Hopefully you will find yourself making friends as we all have. Although our group is not promoted as a dating service, we have had people meet who have created long lasting relationships up to and including marriage.

Our monthly events are put together in advance in order to help members plan for what they want to do. We encourage members to host events that are of interest to them, which helps to create a variety of options each month.

You can host an event on your own or co-host with another member.  Instructions on how to host an event is included in this packet (click on the Members Area link at the top of the page). 

We also like to extend invitations to other area singles groups. This allows us to meet new people and share in other group events.

How to become a listserv member

You can become a listserv member as soon as you have paid your annual dues.  Just send an email to Lynn (ithsinggrp@gmail.com), our listserv moderator and membership chair, and request to join.  She will send you a formal invitation via the internet which you just need to reply to.  That’s all it takes!

All messages you send to the listserv should be emailed to:Ithacasingles@yahoogroups.com

How to become more involved with the group:

Coming to a Wednesday night dinner is a great way to informally meet members in a casual setting. The Wednesday night dinners are held almost every week in Ithaca or one of the surrounding communities. The dinners are listed in the current month’s calendar and also emailed to the members weekly via the Yahoo listserv bearing the IthacaSingles (not Ithaca_Singles!!) designation.

The summer potluck picnics at one of the area parks are another great way to meet people.  Refer to the monthly ISG calendar to see if a picnic is scheduled and the location and time will be included as well. Look for The Ithaca Singles Group sign which is usually posted at these events.

Eventually you might want to become more involved by becoming an officer of the Ithaca Singles Group. Just ask one of our current officers for more details. The officers and their email addresses are listed on the last page of the monthly ISG newsletter. We meet once a month to organize coming events and discuss new proposals.
