Monthly Luncheons occur at local restaurants, often followed by an interesting lecture, fashion show, or concert. Games: There are several Bridge and Bunco groups, as well as Mah-Jongg, Bocci Ball and Scrabble. Saturday Socials occur on the third Saturday of the month. Each couple or single brings an appetizer to share, and a beverage of their choice. There are three Book Groups, meeting monthly. The Couples Dinner Group provides the opportunity to meet new couples, and is a great way to get to know people in a relaxed atmosphere, with both home dining and restaurant groups. The Dining Divas meet twice a month, usually for potluck dinner at a member’s home. Lunch Bunch meets monthly at a different restaurant each month, a great way to sample all of the different restaurants in the area while enjoying the company of friends. KnitWits is a group for women who enjoy needlework of any kind. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month from 10:00 – 12:00 to knit, stitch, needlepoint and enjoy conversation. Members take turns hosting the group and the hostess provides refreshments. The Men’s Group meets alternate Tuesdays for breakfast at 9:00 at the new La Provence in Lake Oswego. The men's walking group walks every Wednesday with individual group members sharing the role of finding walking locations, leading the walks, and selecting a venue for lunch. The men's discussion group, meeting every three-four months, selects and discusses entertaining topics that will assist participants in gaining a better understanding of selected subjects. The International Cultural Group gathers monthly at different homes for dinner with an emphasis on different countries and their cuisines, and discussion about the country being highlighted. New Roots Garden Club is for those interested in gardening, or just visiting beautiful nurseries and working on interesting garden related activities (currently looking for a leader) Heart-to-Heart volunteers make a difference on our community, whether it be building houses, packaging food for the Oregon Food Bank, or other activities enjoyed in the company of Newcomers members. We have really made a difference, and hope to continue to do so for many of our local organizations. Wine Enthusiasts meet monthly and tour different local wineries. Ramblers enjoy hikes in and around Portland. The hikes include having lunch on the trail or at a restaurant. Weekly Walkers meet on Tuesdays at 9:00 am and walk for one hour. During the summer, they walk in various parks and in the winter, when it is cold and rainy, they walk in the Washington Square Mall. |
