Who We Are
Palmetto Prime is a social organization for older gay or bisexual men in Charleston, SC. Our members choose to enrich their lives through diverse activities in our Chapter. There is not a single definition that can describe Palmetto Prime members. We come from all walks of life. One thing is true of all Palmetto Prime members; we enjoy the opportunities and friendships that develop in our Chapter.
Palmetto Prime of Charleston, SC, is a chapter of the Prime Timers Worldwide (PTWW) organization. We welcome members from other chapters to visit us. We are a 501c7 organization.
