Want to find a fun activity??
​Join one of our Special Interest Groups (SIGs)!

The best way to connect with others, is doing something you enjoy!! 

Here's how you can become involved:

Special Interest Groups – Get into a fun routine! These small groups can meet regularly, or we have some one-time activities. Lists of groups are posted at each monthly General Meeting. Become a member of Newcomers, and sign up for a SIG to get involved. There is no obligation to attend, and it is a great way to meet others with similar interests. What kind of groups are there?
  • Daytime and evening groups
  • Couple groups
  • Groups for parents
  • Book reading, card playing, and game groups
  • Knitting, sewing, quilting,  and crafting groups
  • Biking, skiing, and hiking groups
  • Wine tasting groups
  • Groups that like to eat out
  • Community service groups
  • Tours of local places - Oil  & Vinegar, Northern Woolens, Panther Distillery
  • And more! 

​Special Interest Events – Seize the moment! Events may be one-time events, occasional, seasonal, and sometimes spontaneous. Members can sign up to be notified for an upcoming outing or activity, and whoever shows up enjoys the fun. Events include:
  • Fun runs, walks, and bike rides
  • Art and Theatre Programs
  • Local events: Run for the Roses, etc.
  • Highway Clean-up
  • Art Bar Painting Nights
  • ​Local Fund Raisers
  • Tours​​​​

Become a Group Chair – Don't see a group that matches your interests? Create a new Special Interest Group - the possibilities are endless! Any member can host and lead a new group or event. At a meeting, reach out to one of the Special Interest Group coordinators who can help you create your listing and share your idea.
