events each year - the free Membership Luncheon in April and the Holiday Luncheon in December.
New Residents

chevron_rightAs a new resident, may I attend a club meeting before coming a member? Absolutely! At every meeting we have volunteer ambassadors in the lobby to greet guests. They will be holding a sign that says “New members and guests - Stop here”. They will escort you into the Social Hall and find a seat for you at a welcoming table. Before or after the meeting please feel free to ask any Board member or anyone on the Membership Committee questions about the Club. You can recognize members of the Membership Committee because they will be wearing a flower in their hair.
