Interest Groups

Interest Groups are a wonderful way to make new friends. Join us for as little or as much as your time allows. Work full time? Some groups meet in the evenings. Get in touch with the contact for each group and join them at their next get-together. An asterisk* indicates evening/weekend opportunities.

Members of Book Group 2 enjoy a socially-distanced outdoor discussion in September.


Do you have an interest not listed? Contact Lina Keefe at ldfk@comcast.net
She will put you in touch with women of like minds.
