Lunches, Field Trips, Wildacres Retreat

Our Social Events calendar below are opportunities to join your fellow members outside of the weekly speaker meetings.

  • Lunch Bunch: We meet at a local restaurant after a Friday meeting to enjoy a meal and chat with friends.
  • Holiday Luncheons: Each semester we have a more formal luncheon at a country club or similar type location.
  • Field Trips: Each semester we schedule outings to local and regional places such as museums, sculpture walks, historical homes, reservations, and walking tours.
  • Wildacres Retreat: Once a year we offer a 4 day event in the mountains at Wildacres. Engaging lectures by renowned speakers, local entertainers, all you can eat home-style meals and an abundance of outdoor activities are a great way to get away.
