Bridge Groups

Our Social Bridge group currently has two ladies’ groups meeting the third Monday of each month at the Wow Zone restaurant. There is room for additional tables, and we are always looking for subs as well.

Coffee and Current Events

Participate in a monthly discussion group of members who come together for informal conversations about current affairs. Steve Gilbert and Georgia Holmes host the discussions and hope they are a welcoming place where everyone helps one another try to make sense of the headlines and newscasts.

We meet by Zoom on the fourth Friday of each month from 10 to 11:30am. There is no fee or required preparation and no commitment to attend every month. To sign-up and receive the Zoom link for the next meeting, simply send an email to coffeeandcurrentevents@gmail.com. New members are always welcomed.

Dining Groups

Lunch and dinner dining groups are meeting once again. Please contact the office to participate.
