About 50PlusCircle
Our story, mission, and the people behind the dinner club.
Our Story
50PlusCircle was founded in 2025 by Dre Wallace, who recognized a growing need for meaningful social connections among adults over 50. After Dre's own experience of seeing his grandmother feeling isolated following retirement, he set out to create a solution that would help others in similar situations.
What began as small gatherings among friends quickly grew into a structured dinner club that now serves hundreds of members across multiple cities. Our mission has remained the same: to foster genuine friendships through the timeless tradition of sharing a meal.
Our Philosophy
At 50PlusCircle, we believe that making new friends shouldn't end at a certain age. In fact, the richness of life experience that comes with being over 50 creates the perfect foundation for deep and meaningful connections.
We've designed our dinner club with three core principles in mind:
- Simplicity: No complicated technology or processes
- Authenticity: Creating environments that encourage genuine conversation
- Inclusivity: Welcoming people from all walks of life
Our Team
Behind 50PlusCircle is a dedicated team who are passionate about creating meaningful social experiences. Many of our team members are over 50 themselves, giving us firsthand insight into the unique social needs of our community.
