Book Club
Book club is held one evening a month at different members' homes or in the Community Room. Last year's topics included Crazy Ladies, by Michael Lee West; Gravesend Light, by David Payne; Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, by J.K. Rowling; A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, by Betty Smith; and One Thousand White Women- the Journals of May Dodd. Book Club members takes turns moderating the discussion.

Craft Group
Crafts meets the third Wednesday evening of each month in the Community Room. Projects in the past have included fall wreaths, decoupage Christmas ornaments, hand-painted flowerpot wind chimes, crocheted Easter eggs, holiday greenery arrangements, and bead necklaces. Members may present a craft or an idea for a project. There is a nominal charge for materials.

Gourmet Club
The Gourmet Club prides itself on having good taste! These cooking and fine dining enthusiasts have tried new recipes at progressive, potluck dinners and hors d'oeuvres parties. Perhaps the highlights of 2001 were attending a high tea at the Washington Duke Inn ? complete with scones and cucumber sandwiches ? and touring the Chatham Hill Winery in Morrisville

Moms 'n Tots
Formerly dubbed Kool Aid and Crackers, this group enables stay-at-home moms to enjoy some adult contact (with the kids along, of course!). The moms and tots get together at different members' homes or at community areas like the Woodcroft playground or Piney Woods Park.

Mugs 'n Muffins
This morning social group meets at 9:15 a.m. once a month at different members' homes for coffee, tea, and homemade goodies. Rain and snow does not deter members from gathering for good food and good conversation.

Bridge, Fitness/Walking, Stitch and Chat, and Gardening are other special interest groups that have met or been proposed in the past. Members are free to develop any desired special interest group depending on interest and participation.

(Note: One's club dues must be paid in full to participate in a special interest group.)
