Some activities occur regularly on a monthly or weekly basis, while special events are planned several times a year. Members are welcome to attend any or all activities! New activities and suggestions are encouraged.
Book Discussion Each month the group gathers to discuss in detail the particular book chosen for that month. Selections vary widely, from fiction and non-fiction, classics to the latest bestsellers, based on the interests of the current members. It's a great way to combine intellectual stimulation and socializing at the same time.

Game Day This activity meets
once a month where members have lunch and play games together. Games
include Scrabble, Mah Jongg, bridge, and other games of interest. The
group offers an excellent opportunity to get to know other members in a
fun and friendly setting.
Golf This group sponsors frequent events, such as playing rounds at various golf courses in the area and taking golf lessons at local golf clubs. It's a wonderful opportunity to assess the merits of golf courses in the Bay Area. Players of all ability levels are welcome to participate.
Hiking This group will take hikes several times a year, some scheduled during the week and others on weekends. There are many scenic settings found in the local area that are well worth exploring with other hikers. Proposed sites include Arastradero Preserve, Wunderlich County Park, Edgewood County Park, Pulgas Ridge, Windy Hill, and Crystal Springs Dam.
Ladies' Theatre Group This activity takes place on five Wednesday evenings per season. The plays are produced by TheatreWorks. We dine together before the show and afterwards attend the stimulating Discussion Wednesday Dialogues with artists from each production. This adds to an enriched theatre experience.
Lessons Periodically, the Club organizes lessons for interested members to expand their activities. Some examples include lessons for Golf, Tennis, Beginning Bridge, Intermediate Bridge, and Mah Jongg. In the past, we have also sponsored a monthly Men's Poker game.
Let's Do Lunch This activity combines a variety of dining experiences. Some months we enjoy lunch together at a local restaurant, while other months we gather in a member's home for a potluck lunch or a gourmet cooking demonstration where we not only learn how to cook extremely well, but also sample the food.
Moveable Feast Each month the Moveable Feast committee sponsors a social event designed to welcome new members and integrate them into the club. We vary our activities to appeal to everyone. Events range in style from casual to formal, from potluck to expensive. Our goal is to offer ample social opportunities for all of our members. Recent events include Oktoberfest, Bunco Game Night, Champagne and Wine Tasting, Crab Feasts, TGIF Parties, a Clam Bake, Happy Hour at the BBC, a Potluck Sixties BBQ, a Dinner Dance at a local country club, and Dinner/Theater Evenings.
Tennis This new
group plans to meet on a regular basis to play tennis matches on local courts and take tennis lessons, as desired. Players of all ability levels are welcome.
Walking Each Monday morning members meet at a different Hostess' house or chosen place and walk for an hour.
