Every January we plan the programs for the coming year. We solicit ideas from our members, vote to determine the programs that will be given, and ask for teams to lead each effort.
In July we get together over lunch just to socialize..
Every December we have a Holiday Party. Sometimes it’s a pot-luck, sometimes a catered meal, and last year it was at Jannah Restaurant at 1775 Fulton Street. Sometimes we have music, sometimes a sing-along, and lately we’ve added a book swap. It’s always a good time. Hope you can join us next year.
