interest groups
The Women’s Group offers many interest groups where members can make new friends while they explore areas of interest.
As a member, you can participate each month in any or all of the activities planned by the interest groups you wish to attend. Signing up for an activity one month does not obligate you to continue with that group throughout the year.
The interest groups list below is categorized to help you match your personal interests. Please refer to our current newsletter for specific information. You may sign up for any interest group activity by calling or emailing the interest group chairperson. The monthly newsletter will provide information so that you can sign up. If you are not a member and would like to become one, please refer to the Membership page of this web site.
