Hobbies

Foto Fun

Foto Fun members enjoy capturing the beauty of nature, historical locations, and the arts with photography. Monthly outings are planned to photographically interesting places. Dates for these trips vary. Members may use any type of image capturing device, including phones and tablets. All that is required is a sense of adventure and a camera!

Jewish Culture & Conversation

Please join us for lighthearted discussion, connection, and activities relating to Jewish culture (A Non-Religious & NonPolitical Group Open to All).

Topics/meetings may include: Jewish cooking, expressions, movies, humor, books, podcasts, visiting exhibits/museums, and a holiday event. 

Needlework Group

The needlework group meets the first and third Thursdays of every month at a member's home from 9:30-11:30.  Any project using needles is accepted.  An email with details will be sent the week before the meeting.

Recollections One

Recollections meets on the second Monday of each month at 2:00 pm. We share short pieces that we have written from our own experiences or insights. The topic is selected by the host, and members come to the meeting with a 2-3 page written response, having interpreted the prompt in whatever way they chose, and read them to the group. These musings or recollections are from childhood, adolescence, and adulthood and allow members to share themselves with others in a safe environment. All things shared by others are agreed to be held in confidence. The focus is not on writing style or expertise. There is no critiquing of the writing, only sharing with supportive friends. New members are not required to write a paper the first time they visit.

COVID POLICY: The Recollections group meets on Zoom.
