Hobbies

Foto Fun

Foto Fun members enjoy capturing the beauty of nature 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!

General COVID Policy (policy will be adjusted as risk levels change):

- If the event location is indoors, masks will be required.

- Depending on the density of the indoor venue, proof of vaccination status may be checked via vaccination cards or proof of a negative COVID test the day of the event.

- Proof of vaccination status may be required for any carpooling.

- If an outdoor event is crowded, masks may be required.

- Request that members will participate only if they are not ill, do not have symptoms, and have not been exposed to anyone testing positive for COVID.

Music Lovers

We are re-starting the Music Lovers Interest Group after a year of inactivity! It is time for a fresh start and answer some questions for ourselves, like: What types of venues do we want to attend? How far do we want to travel (Annapolis, Rockville, DC, Philadelphia)? What genres are of interest?

Specific COVID guidance will be provided for each event and will be based on the nature of the event, the level of threat at that time, and the New Annapolitans COVID policy at that time.

COVID POLICY:

We will follow the covid policy of whatever music venue we are attending. That will be included with other details about the performance. If carpooling, the driver can set her requirements.

Needlework Group

The Needleworkers meet on the first and third Thursdays of every month from 9:30-11:30 am . We meet in members' homes and enjoy all kinds of needlework, light refreshments, and good conversation. We would love to have you join us any time. Details and directions will be sent before each meeting.

COVID POLICY:

For everyone's health and safety - including your own - please show your concern for others and wear a mask during the event if you have not been vaccinated.
If a hostess would like to add restrictions or requirements of her own she is free to do so.

Recollections

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.
