Here are a couple of regular get-togethers:

 Friday Social Hours
Come and connect with friends at the Club house at 4:30 pm beginning in January. Familiarize yourself with our many charitable programs, meet other volunteers or just enjoy a good time.  You can also continue the fellowship by savoring a group dinner at a favorite downtown restaurant.

Dining Out (Dine Around)
After the Social Hour, enjoy dining at one of our preferred restaurants on various Friday nights @ 6:00. Groups are small. Pre-booking is essential.
