HWC
9 Hole Golf Players. This is a league open to all levels of golfers. I have
put in a request to Ponemah for available tee times. I requested either Monday,
Thurs or Fri mornings around 8:30 and assumed we would have 2 teams of 4 players
each. It would be wonderful to have more, but I would prefer not to over
estimate. Ponemah has not gotten back to me as to days & times. Please
come & join us. If you have other dates and times to suggest, please let me
know. All info welcome. Email me at jackanddiane22@comcast.net or call
my cell (603) 670-5764. Can’t wait to hear from everyone. |

Morning
Book Group |
|
|
Jan
Lambert 465-2443 |
The Morning Book Group meets on the first Friday of each month, September to June, at 10 am, in the Cafe at Barnes and Noble in Nashua. [ Unless the first Friday falls on a holiday or during a school vacation] . We read fiction, non-fiction, new and older books. Members of the group
usually suggest the books we choose to read but the Community Relations person
at Barnes and Noble and Edie, at the HSL, are also helpful with suggestions.
Edie requests extra copies for us each month from the ILL. We do not meet during
the summer but choose three books to read and discuss when we resume our
meetings in September.
If a book is on a topic that we are unfamiliar with, or there is not much
information about the author on the book jacket, one of the members will
research the subject or author and report on her findings when we discuss the
book.
In the past we have attended authors' book signings at B and N and
attended movies made from books we have read. Occasionally, we have met in a
member's home during the holiday season.
New members are always welcome. |

Evening
Book Group |
|
|
Shawntel Fugate 791-4352 The Evening Book Club celebrates the holidays at the Mileaway Restaurant!
|
This book club is for
members who would like to participate in a book club, but who cannot
meet during the day. Each month, we rotate leaders and hostesses.
The leader is responsible for selecting a book and facilitating a
discussion about the book, and the hostess (who is usually the
leader as well) is responsible for providing a place to meet
and light refreshments. Reading selections vary greatly
(which is one of the neat things about this club!) and have ranged from
political essays to lighthearted stories -- and everything in between!
If you're interested in joining a group that likes to explore all
kinds of books -- and "push the envelope" from time to time --
please contact Shawntel Fugate at 791-4352 if you'd like to join this
group!

| Crafts | |
| Paula Furlong 465-6519 |
Creative?
Like
to socialize? Then the Craft Group is for you! We meet once a
month at different members’ houses to have fun for a few
hours,
visit, and get new ideas. We’ll try any craft, and do
something
different each month. Most of our craft ideas are easy
“anyone
can do it” things. We’ve tried etching, quillows,
painting,
dried flower arranging, ornaments, dream catchers, wood burning,
boxes, basket making, paper embossing, bead jewelry, and lots more. If
there is something you’ve been dying to learn how to do,
maybe we
can
all learn together! If you know how to do something we
haven’t
tried,
please teach us! New members are always welcome. Contact Paula at
465-6519 to participate. |
| Projects & Pleasantries Group | |
| Jane
Taylor 465-2849  |
Calling
all scrapbookers, quilters, knitters, needleworkers, beadworkers, and
other crafters! Do you wish you had more time to spend on
your project? Or would you just enjoy working on your project in
the company of good friends? Bring your own project to our
Projects & Pleasantries Group to share good conversation while
working on your individual craft. Or join us without a project,
just to socialize. Meetings are typically 9:30-11:30 on the 2nd
and 4th Thursday of the
month. |
| Out to Lunch! | |
| Brenda Gibson 465-3872 |
Do
you enjoy eating delicious food at wonderful restaurants with
delightful company? The Out to Lunch group may be for you! We gather at
Noon on the 1st Wednesday of the month to try out a
different restaurant for lunch. We try to select a variety of
restaurants in terms of price range, type of food, and ambiance. Some
of the restaurants we have chosen in the past have included Pickity
Place, You You's, Michael Timothy's, Cotton's, Giorgio's, the Black
Forest, Indian Village and the North Star Cafe in Nashua. |
| Walking
Group - NEW! |
|
| Kathleen Barnes 465-3926 |
Are
you new to Hollis? Wondering about all those wooded areas in and
around Hollis? Like to get to know Beaver Brook trails a bit
more? Or are you wishing you had company so you could return to
the trails you know and love? Need to work your hiking muscles
without having to drive to the Whites? Come and join us from 9-11
for brisk Thursday hikes beginning on Beaver Brook Association
land. With hills to scale, rocks to circumvent, brooks to cross,
animal tracks to spot, and plants & trees to identify, the physical
exercise never gets boring. The pace will be steady but
kind. All you need is enjoyment of the outdoors, waterproof
boots, and a spirit of adventure. Snowshoes helpful in several
inches of snow, of course, but can be rented from Beaver Brook.
Heavy wind, ice, heavy rain and temps below 20 degrees cancel.
Call Kathleen Barnes (465-3926) at least two days before the walk, so
we know to expect you. The trails in our town are wonderful and
if you are not walking them, then you are missing one of our great
resources. Try it. You might like it! |
| Four Seasons Supper Club | |
Mary Csakai 465-6282 |
The
Four Seasons Supper
Club meets 5 times a year, generally kicking off our year with a
cocktail party
so that all members, new and continuing, can mix and mingle and get to
know one
another. Members are usually accompanied by their spouse or significant
other,
but others choose to attend solo. After that, we meet 4 other times at
rotating
members' homes. Each member is asked to host only once every
other year,
and her committee takes care of all meal preparation. In
anticipation of
the dinner, guests assigned to a hostess's home meet with her to create
the
menu and divide the cooking tasks or arrangements are made by
email. The
night of the dinner, the intimate setting fosters an atmosphere of
friendship
and provides a delectable variety of culinary delights. Costs are
divided among
the participants. For more information on this exciting group,
call Mary
Csakai at 465-6282 or email at mcsakai@charter.net |

Especially for those who like to combine great food, friendly people and good times, the Wednesday Luncheon Gourmet Group meets the third Wednesday of each month. Members of the group share in planning, preparing and hosting luncheons that run the gamut from "picnic casual" to "epicurean elegance". Luncheons are generally at the home of a group member who, with a committee of three decide the menu and setting and provide wonderful food and great socializing. Hostesses may also, from time to time, elect to host their luncheon at a local restaurant. Great food and getting together with a super group of women - what could be better? Please call Terry at 465-2502 to find out more and join us! |
