We host a variety of social groups designed to connect and engage members. Some activities also are open to friends and community members.
Caff & Laff

Meets most first Thursdays, 10:30 – 11:30 AM. Join us for a casual daytime get-together to meet new friends and chat about anything and everything.

We meet at local cafes to support small local businesses, outdoors at parks, or via Zoom depending on weather and other circumstances. Please contact Estela to receive announcements.
