Press Release
Mountain Singles
Enjoy the cool, clean mountain air in our own
Shangri-La. Watch chipmunks run through
trees. It's beautiful. That's why we live here.
You can find solitude and listen to wind in the
pines. OR if you are single and looking for
social life, we have that, too.
Our mountain area has a sizeable population
of singles. According to the 2010 US Census,
there are 4,300 single householders living in
and around Lake Arrowhead, Crestline, and
Running Springs. Two out of five heads of
household are either living alone or without a
spouse.
The Mountain Singles Organization was
founded in March 2009 to serve that
community. The organization has been
nonprofit, and free to members, from the
outset.
MSO has 400+ registered members.
Membership has held steady at that level for
most of the last 7 years. The largest source of
new members is by referral from existing
members.
MSO is structured as a simple friendship club.
We just socialize, without any attempt at
matchmaking, but like to count the couples
who met here. The service area is exclusive to
our mountain communities, making this the
only local singles organization. MSO supports
the local chambers of commerce.
There are lots of events to draw participation.
There is a dinner every Wednesday at 6 pm.
Members vote on the selection of restaurants.
On first and third Fridays there is a Game
Night, which is also a potluck. Other repeating
events include a Movie Night. Members are
encouraged to create and host their own
events. Approved events are supported with
email and website coverage. Member-initiated
events often include field trips, such as to the
Laguna Sawdust Festival. The best-attended
events are house parties, usually scheduled
near holidays.
New members are always welcome. If
