Book Review-Two Groups

 

The morning book group meets in a member's home.  The host has the option of choosing the book and we may decide to go out to lunch afterwards.  Join us, even if you have not finished the book yet, you will still enjoy the discussion and friendship!


 

 

Wine Tasting

 

This group meets once a month in a members home on a date and  time determined by the host.  The host choose the wines and purchases them.  Occasionally the group will have a special event at an outside venue chosen by the host.  This is a great way to learn about different wines and have a great time.  Members of this group are encouraged to RSVP and bring a hearty appetizer.  Cost: $15 per person.

 
 

 

Movie Reel Day Out

 

A great group to join for a fun morning or afternoon at the movies and an optional lunch/movie discussion afterwards!  Due to changing movie schedules the decision on what to see and where is made on the Friday before by the host.

 

 

 
 
Here and There Lunch Group
 

These luncheons are a no-host event, everyone chooses their own lunch, and RSVPs are required so the appropriate seating can be reserved at the restaurant.  Active members of the group will receive an email from the group coordinator with all the details.
