| NEW! Board Game Bash! | |
| Becky Gray-Casey 465-3632 |
We meet once a
month on a Friday evening (that seems to be the most popular night among the
people I have spoken with) at different folk's houses to play our favorite
board games . Whomever is
hosting will be able to pick the game we play. We could have a night of
Scrabble, or Pictionary, or Balderdash....Hostess's choice! Depending on
participation, we may have several tables of the same game going or we could
have different games. All of this will be left to the whim of our
members. This night will be open to spouses too. So come with your
better half or come alone, but just come prepared to have fun! Please call Becky to get on the mail list! |

Morning
Book Group |
|
|
Jan

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 |
|
|
Joanne Emus 465-9722The Evening Book Club celebrates the holidays at Giorgios!
|
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 Joanne Emus at 465-9722 if you'd like to join this
group!

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. |

| Four Seasons Supper Club | |
Becky Gray-Casey 465-3632 Bonnie Currier 465-3131 Supper Club ends the season with a poolside party at the home of Susan and Chuck Benz!  
|
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 Bonnie Currier at 465-3131. |

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 Ina at 465-2785 and join us! |
