Who We Are
Prime Timers of the Central Coast (PTCC) was founded 1998 as a social organization of mature and other gay men who enjoy their friendship. With membership from Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties, PTCC is the only affiliate of PrimeTimers® Worldwide (PTWW) between Palm Springs and Sacramento.
PTCC welcomes all as our membership comes from varied cultures, ethnicities, and religions. Our one bonding goal is to unite in a family of support and friendship. No one is excluded for financial hardships.

Thank you to all the PrimeTimers who helped to make the Living Legacy Art Exhibition such a huge success!
Over 250 people attended the opening night. Our gratitude also goes out to the City of Santa Barbara Library Faulkner Gallery for their support and the Santa Barbara Gay Men’s Chorus for their great concert at the event.
