Spring & Summer Social Events

We hope these events are things that you will wish to participate in. Please check the dates, times, and keep in mind the RSVP dates where noted. Should you have any questions, please reach out to a member of the social committee. If you have suggestions, we’d love to hear from you.

A big thank you to the people who came out to support our APRIL events. The Shofuso House, Gardens and Tea Tasting, I was told was very nice and went off without a hitch. The weather cooperated and a wonderful time was had by all in attendance. The group that attended the Amazing Escape had a great time, even though they couldn’t find their way out of the Pirate Room. Following the event, they went out to dinner in Cherry Hill to laugh, avoid traffic on the way home, and reminisce about their adventure. As our club year is coming to an end, you will notice so are our activities. Please read through the list of events for May and June, as there are RSVP dates that need your attention/commitment NOW. Thanks.

PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATE ***TUESDAY, May 16, 2023: 7pm *** Book Club Mtg. (Zoom)

The book we will be discussing: The Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen. With the additional time, if you were not on the list and wish to be included, please let Jody know by the 13th, so you will be on the list for the Zoom invitation. Thank you.

“Down a narrow alley in the small coastal town of Mallow Island, South Carolina, lies a stunning cobblestone building comprised of five apartments. It’s called The Dellawisp and it is named after the tiny turquoise birds who, alongside its human tenants, inhabit an air of magical secrecy.

When Zoey Hennessey comes to claim her deceased mother’s apartment at The Dellawisp, she meets her quirky, enigmatic neighbors including a girl on the run, a grieving chef whose comfort food does not comfort him, two estranged middle-aged sisters, and three ghosts. Each with their own story. Each with their own longings. Each whose ending isn’t yet written.

When one of her new neighbors dies under odd circumstances the night Zoey arrives, she is thrust into the mystery of The Dellawisp, which involves missing pages from a legendary writer whose work might be hidden there. She soon discovers that many unfinished stories permeate the place, and the people around her are in as much need of healing from wrongs of the past as she is. To find their way they have to learn how to trust each other, confront their deepest fears, and let go of what haunts them.”

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in discussing, please join us. Let me know by May 13th and I’ll add you to the list to receive a “Zoom” invitation.
