What is Prime Timers?
Let me introduce you to Prime Timers. This worldwide organization
was founded by Woody Baldwin here in Boston on August 15, 1987. He was pleased that 42 men attended this first
meeting on the hotest day of that summer. Our membership has grown steadily and for the past three years Boston
Prime Timers has exceeded 300 members. Prime Timers World Wide has thousands of members in more than 70 chapters
on three continents, Australia, Europe, and North America.
Prime Timers is a brotherhood
of mature gay and bisexual men and their friends who join together for educational, support, and social activities.
Our diverse membership, some retired, some still working, are involved and focused on improving the image and quality of gay
life through activities like volunteerism, politics, gay issues, arts, sports, and entertainment.
What do Prime Timers do?
In the Boston Chapter, members receive a copy of Prologue, the monthly
news letter which includes articles and a calendar of events info on the guest speaker and educational topic of our monthly
meeting. Invitations are offered to parties at member homes, lunches, dinners, national and international trips, courses
of study, theater, concerts, swims, bowling, bridge, and dozens of other activities.
As a member of Prime Timers,
you have the opportunity to network with other members who share your interests by completing our interest and talent/skills
profiles which will be included in our Confidential Membership Roster. Almost all of our members choose to be listed
in our Confidential Roster.
Your membership in Boston Prime Timers opens the door to Prime Timers
World Wide. For example you are invited to attend national conventions, travel to cities and countries on three continents,
or host international guests at your home.
In Boston our Member Meetings are held on the third Saturday
of each month (except in August and December when we have our Anniversary and Holiday events) from 1:30 to 5:30
p.m. at the United South End Settlements' Harriet Tubman House, 566 Columbus Ave, in Boston's South End at the corner
of Massachusetts Avenue. The nearest subway stops are Massachusetts Avenue (Orange line) and Symphony (Green line E
train). Check us out! You are welcome to visit us twice at one of the following activities:
a Member Meeting, August or December events, a monthly dining out, or a theater event before joining Boston Prime
Timers.
Our membership dues are $25 per year ($45 for couples at one mailing address). See specifics and
discounts on our Membership Application Form. The dues cover the cost of the newsletter and the annual membership roster.
Members pay their own way at restaurants, theaters, concerts (often offered at group discount rates), and the $2 fee at meetings
and house parties which covers office and meeting room rents and club overhead costs.
