INTEREST GROUPS
Joining an interest group is a wonderful way to get to meet new people. We have a variety groups including book clubs, art classes (via Zoom), needlework, Mahjong, bingo, card games and breakfasts and lunches out. Check out the interest groups below.
Once you become a club member you will have access to the list of groups and their convenors through the Website Members Only section. You then are able to find out more about the group by contacting the convenor. You can join more than one group. You can access the convenors list in "Group Contacts" on the Members Login page.
We encourage the creation of new groups to accommodate interested members however all groups must have a volunteer group convenor in order to get established.
Please contact the Director of Interest Groups - Caroline Kloss, if you have an idea to share. We would be happy to hear from you and answer any questions you may have. Contact the Director of Interest Groups
THANKS to all the convenors who volunteer their time to make these events happen!
