Casual Dining is a group of singles and couples meeting at 6:00 PM on the 2nd Saturday of the month. The hostess provides a main course of her choice for 8 to 16 people (hostess specifies number). Each guest household brings a menu item to share: salad, appetizer, vegetable, dessert, bread, and other side dishes. It's BYOB and each person contributes $5/meal to defray costs to the hostess. If numbers require it and we have volunteers to hostess, we will open a second host-home for a given dinner date. Please email Pepper if you want to participate this year, as well as the month and number of people you would be willing to host. [email protected]. Great eating--greater camaraderie!!!

There will be no Wine Tasting this December or January. Wine Tasting will resume in February.
This group meets once a month on the 3rd Saturday at 7:00 PM at a member’s home or another venue at the choosing of the host. The host selects and sets up the wines for tasting. Coffee, tea, and dessert are generally served following the tasting. It is the policy of this group that if you RSVP’d, and after the RSVP date you are unable to attend, in fairness to the hosts who will make purchases based on number of attendees on the RSVP date, you are still responsible for the cost per person.

Some ladies work on needlepoint, crocheting, knitting, embroidery, quilting etc…whatever craft you do with needles.
