We share our knowledge and friendship through our specialized Interest and service groups. Over twenty groups provide opportunities to develop bridge skills, learn mah-jongg, discuss books, sing, learn to play the guitar, advocate for social justice, go to new movies, become a gourmet cook, enhance artistic skills, visit local places of interest, and more.
