Regular Activities (women-only):
Book Club
Do you love to read? Join our lively book group the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. The group picks books twice a year, reads one book a month and meets at a different member’s home for discussion. We may disagree about the books at times, but always agree these are nights well-spent!
Girls’ Night Out/In
Can we count you in for a fabulous meal or fun night of games, heavy on grown-up conversation and light on cleanup? Join us for one or many of our uniquely planned outings. Dates and restaurants/venues vary, see below for our most recent calendar.
Play Groups
Are you looking for a new play group for one or more of your children? Play groups are a great way to make new friends, both for you and your kids! After joining Newcomers, play groups are coordinated through our membership web site.
Sunshine Club
Participating in Sunshine is a great way to help a fellow member in a time of need. Sunshine members are called on once or twice a year to prepare a meal for a fellow member following a birth, illness or other trying circumstances.
Couples Activities
Grab your partner and get ready for some fun! We plan a variety of couples nights throughout the year so you can enjoy a night out together without the kiddos and meet new people. Whether it's wine tasting, bowling or something else new and exciting, you're sure to have a good time! See below for our most current calendar.
We are an active group and we schedule reguar events that are not only for women, but include the whole family as well. Some family events scheduled throughout the year include: Fall Hayride, Holiday Party, Easter Egg Hunt, and Bike & Buggy Parade.
