Stitch and Chat
We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month from 10am until 3pm. We bring our lunches and our projects to work on. Currently we have people who knit, crochet, felt, embroider, needlepoint, and quilt. We can even help you figure out how to get re-started on that project that you began 10 years ago or simply inspire you to try something new.
Tastes of the World
The plan is to taste food from different areas around the globe without having to travel far. There are many new restaurants opening in our area serving different cuisines that are more fun to visit as a group. This is an evening event. There will be a pre-set menu with no substitutions to be shared family style that will be paid in advance with tip and tax included. All restaurants will be BYOB so drinks will be each person's responsibility. Both couples and singles are welcome. It might be an opportunity to try out some food that your picky spouse usually wouldn't touch!!

The group meets once a month on Fridays at a different restaurant or tavern for happy hour and an informal supper.
