Gals on the Go
Cathie Erickson / Margi Silva, 772-2835 / 584-9034 - Email
Gals on the Go take an annual bus trip to San Francisco for the day. You can shop, eat, sightsee or do whatever your heart fancies. We have had women go to Teahouses, on SF Bay boat rides and even visit the de Young Fine Arts Museum. The choice is yours and it is truly a fun day. On the way home refreshments are served.

Time For Tea
Sharon Quintana, 772-0783 - Email
Time for Tea is a gathering of tea lovers. We meet monthly, usually in a member’s home and enjoy a few hours of leisurely conversation with a cup, or two or three, of tea. We occasionally go on field trips to a tea house for our gathering but enjoy each other’s homes more. We share in bringing tea items and trying new recipes that we are collecting for a cookbook. We have learned to set a proper tea table and a casual one. We have had high tea complete with hats, iced tea in the summer heat, a progressive tea, and even danced the May pole dance. Most of us look on our tea gatherings as an oasis in the midst of our very busy lives.
“ When you sit down to a beautifully set table, sip a good brew from thin-lipped teacups, and enjoy delicious sandwiches and pastries, it is like taking a mini-vacation from ‘real life’.” Susan Rios

What's Cooking
Susan Baas, 786-9898 - Email
The What’s Cooking group gathers the 2nd Monday of each month. The ladies in the group are all lovers of good food and enjoy learning and creating great dishes. We travel to local farms in order to learn about growing and harvesting. We often have guest cooks teaching us unique techniques. Two times a year we meet with our husbands for a themed meal. Some of our members do not cook, but all love the celebration of fine foods.
The What's Cooking group made 210 ravioli to be used for their Christmas party. IPati Hendershot doing the counting.

Reader's Corner
MaryAnn Evans, 772-8630 - Email
Many of our members enjoy reading, so we have established a "Readers Corner", in our monthly Newsletter. This is dedicated to those of us who want to share what we have read and add our amateur review. Additionally we include the title, author and where the book is available. Most importantly we like to promote our local libraries and when possible encourage our members to utilize their services.
