Arts and Travel

Calling all creatives! The Arts and Travel committee engages in and appreciates all art forms. Embark on adventures both near and far (as able) with this committee. Events open to all.

Chair-Lori Macke, Treasurer-Kit Brown

Games

Cards, bunco, bridge, and more! If you enjoy playing games of all types, this committee is for you. These events are often exclusively for club members, so the groups are small and lively. Meetings held the third Thursday of each month. Reservations required.

Chair-Lola Amos, Treasurer-Lindsey Morgan-Lees, Reservations-Lola Amos

Garden and Plants

Okay plant moms, you need to join this group. Join a community of women who will educate you about your Christmas cactus, invite you to picnics, and help your leafy, oxygen giving friends, flourish. This group meets the second Thursday of each month at 1pm with coffee, tea, and dessert provided. This group also keeps up the grounds surrounding the Donald House.

Chair-Doris Sonstelie, Vice Chair-Lucille Meyers, Secretary-Linda Bradley, Treasurer-Mary J Anderson

Healthy Selections

Let’s be real; health is about more than eating well and exercising (although that is great, too!). This group organizes meetings that range from self help and life stories from ladies in the club, to age empowerment, and real talk about what really matters in life. Meetings are the second Tuesday of the month at 1pm, and are open to the public.

Chair-Sheri Martin, Assistant Chair-Jessica DellaTorre

Antiques

Do you love love antiquing? Finding treasures at thrift stores and estate sales? Learning about history? You need to join this club. Meetings are every fourth Thursday of the month at 10am, open to the public.
