These meetings are a great way to come check out the group and meet some of our other members. On-site babysitting is available for a nominal fee. Check our website for upcoming meetings. Everyone is welcome!

Socials

Social events for members are planned several times throughout the year. Our members have enjoyed such events as wine tastings, comedy/theater nights, private restaurant dinners, karaoke, and sports related outings in the past. These popular events are a great way to socialize with other members.
