55PLUS was originally founded as a men's organization but is now open to everyone regardless of gender. It meets twice a month except during the summer to meet socially, attend lectures on interesting topics and to involve themselves in a variety of other community activities. It was organized in 1986 as a non-sectarian group to promote social contacts and friendships among men who were either retired or had flexible working hours.

Organization
Being an all volunteer organization we depend on Volunteers to staff all of positions. Without them a number of our activities in the community service area are no longer being served. This includes assisting with a Red Cross drive , mentoring high school children, volunteering at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen or helping with the NJN on air fund drive. If you are interested in any of these activities please email Bob Robinson . Please considier volunteering, especially if you are new to 55PLUS. If you do you will meet a other 55PLUS "Honchos" who are not only dedicated and very effective but are also interesting in their own right. Many honchos have become fast friends over the years.
