Who Are We?
Santa Fe Singles is a non-commercial (no fees) organization. We are greater Santa Fe area singles working together in order to create no-pressure events to meet one another.  To join.

We sponsor 3 types of events:

  1. TGIF Social Hours - For spontaneous events over the weekends.
  2. Large Planned Events - Barbecues; Parties (i.e. Halloween); Potlucks
  3. Interest Groups - Smaller groups that focus on common interests


For the most part our group consists of 40's through early 60's and there are enough of us that we have started developing special interest groups that go to cultural events, do biking and hiking events, etc. We are open to all greater Santa Fe area singles.
Because we are not a commercial organization, there are no membership fees. However, some of our events cost money. So costs, if any, are paid by each individual, or donations to the hosts of events. READ MORE . . .

"TGIF" Social Hour
One of the most successful programs that we have is our TGIF (Thank Goodness It's Friday) Social Hours. It has evolved so that we can spontaneously join others at the beginning of the weekend and see what's going on. It allows us to get together with other singles and choose what we want to do over the weekend. TGIF's are open to all singles whether members or not. We usually do TGIF's on Friday afternoon from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at a local restaurant (See Public Events section). We socialize and then go over an agenda of what's coming up and develop groups to do things. Anyone can bring something they would like to do, to see if anyone else wants to join in. It is also probably the best way for new people to check us out and see what we are about.
There are no costs except for any beverages or food you order and pay for yourself. After the agenda meeting many of us stay and have dinner/drinks together to continue getting acquainted.

Background, Why We Did This
We noticed that there weren't very many ways for single people to meet one another. Couple this with one-on-one dating through the internet, bar scene, etc. we wanted to create something with as little pressure on any of us as we could. So, we decided to be pro-active and develop our own. To begin with to make things easier we decided to put on informal barbecues or potlucks with as close to equal numbers of single men and women as possible. After a couple of bbq's, it became obvious that there are a lot of single people that would like to participate.
Since Oct `06 our group has evolved into a group of people that matches the philosophy we have (see "friends first" section) - that of being friends and getting out and involved with our chosen interests while keeping an eye out for that special someone.
Friends First !
"Friends First" is our Focus. By becoming involved with activities we enjoy, meeting new people and doing the things that are important to us, we create opportunities to meet people with common interests while looking for that special someone.

Our goals are to create:

  1. events where singles can meet.
  2. a community of single friends to enjoy life.
  3. Interest Groups to participate in common interests.
  4. meet Mr/Ms right along the way.

We started this group to create no-pressure events where singles could meet. It has already evolved into a larger sense of community. Within that framework we all keep an eye out for Mr./Ms. right.

As a group single people are a force, and yet often times untapped. READ MORE . . .

Rules

Because this is not a commercial enterprise and there are no dues, we ask you be responsible for yourself and pay your own way.

Because we are all volunteers (you may also volunteer, if you wish), we want to make things as easy as possible for those that are giving up their time to help organize events. So, please:

  1. Call or email to reserve a place in events on coordinated events. It is easier to plan when we know how many people are going to come.
  2. If you can't make it, please call the coordinator to let them know, so they can make adjustments.
  3. Respect everyone you meet. Be as active or passive at meeting people at the events as you wish, but don't be "pushy".
  4. Make your connections at the events. We are unable to give out phone numbers or emails. Plus, we just don't have the time.
  5. Please give donations when asked for. They are not mandatory, but if asked for, it means that the event coordinators are incurring costs. Respect them please.
  6. Help at events if possible.
  7. We reserve the right to refuse service or membership to anyone.

To join all we need is your full name, phone and email address. All information is kept confidential. If you move away, or want to be removed from our list just call us (505 466-3263) or email us (contactus@sfsingles.org).
