About Us

We're all about Friends, Fun, and Food.   Our goal is to encourage people new to the area or those who would just like to meet new friends to join us. 

We fill each month with many activities to choose from and give you the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends!

For the Fun, try one of the many Bunco, Canasta,  Rummy, or Mah Jongg groups, or get outdoors and play some Golf.

For the Food, check out the Lunch Bunch,  Appetizers with Friends, or Ladies Nite Out.

For the Friends, just try us!

Check out the Upcoming Events  bar on the Home page to preview our current events.

View the Calendar page to discover all the things you can choose to do with your New Friends.
Here you can see activity descriptions and also register for events.  Non-members may register for two events before deciding to join.  Some events may not be open to non-members,

We host a Welcome Coffee on the first Thursday,  three  times a year usually in February, May and September.   Consider joining us for coffee and learning more about the activities we offer and meet the Coordinators for these groups.  To register for the Welcome Coffee, contact the VP of Membership.  Her contact information can be found on our Contact Us page.


Feel free to try us out. You can attend two events before joining.  Many of our events are free.
