| Interest Groups provide the most popular
benefits for our members! Why? ….because it’s the Interest
Groups where we connect and network with other women who share our
passions and dreams.
When you join our Club, you are immediately eligible to join any
of these smaller groups within the Club, and it’s here where
you’ll find fun, satisfaction and a sense of purpose.
CFUW Interest Groups meet periodically and are open to all members.
Joan Meyers is the contact for Interest Groups this year. The groups currently in existence are:
DINING DIVAS
If enjoying new food with friends sounds appetizing, then indulge
yourself – join the Dining Divas. We love to try out new recipes
and our meals are co-operatively planned. Members take their turn
hosting the dinner. We meet six times a year to enjoy great conversation
as well as good food.
LUNCH BUNCH
Explore interesting restaurants in the Barrie area and enjoy lunch
out with a great group of gals. We meet once a month either on the
2nd Friday or the 3rd Tuesday. We currently have 20 members with
an average of 12 in attendance every month. We request separate
cheques and carpool when necessary.
BOOK EXCHANGE
Only one meeting in late October (October 25th) to chose the books
and a year of great reading! Collect reviews to bring to this meeting.
Twelve members are maximum to a group to allow each member one month
to read a book before it is passed on to the next on the list. No
discussion group, no pressure to read the book you have that month,
just relax and enjoy! Read twelve books for the price of one!
ADVENTURERS
Definition: A merry band of adventurous spirits who explore the
region monthly in search of fun, frolic and stimulation.
BOOK CLUB
We meet on the second Tuesday of each month from September-November
and from January-June. Each member takes their turn as hostess and
facilitating the discussions. We try to choose books 2 to 3 months
in advance of the meetings. The categories of books we read range
from Canadian history to fiction to biography and everything in
between.
New group this year:
CLASSIC BOOK READING CLUB
Starting in September, this group will meet every second month(at lunch?) to discuss a classic. Convenor to be announced.
WALKING GROUP
Information about the walk will be e-mailed out to participants on the Friday before the walk is scheduled.
