Afternoon Book Group
We hope everyone has found at least one Hemingway to enjoy this summer. His short stories are good: Snows of Kilimanjaro, The Nick Adams Stories….And most of his novels and stories have been made into films. Bring your opinions to our meeting and let’s share and compare. And bring suggestions for future reading too!
We are a very casual group and welcome new voices. Join us for one session because you loved (or hated) what we’re reading or come every month. We usually meet on the fourth Thursday of the month, around 1:00 PM. We don’t choose our books very far in advance – usually just a month or two.
Contact Ann Greek by email with any thoughts.
The Julia Child Memorial Society
We meet monthly at a member’s home and share gourmet meals, which we prepare. If you have an interest in forming a new group, please contact Laura Locklin for more information.
Women’s Daytime Gourmet
We meet the first Friday of each month at a member’s home. Members take turns chairing, cooking, and hosting a lunch. Contact Betty Davis if you are interested in becoming a member of the group.
We invite all Branch members to join our friendly group. We like to cook and love to eat. We meet on the third Saturday of each month at 7 PM at a member’s home. If you are interested in sharing a relaxed, fun evening each month, contact Bonnie Cytron.
Ladies’ evening gourmet group meets the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 PM from September to June at a member’s home.
Members earn points for serving as host, chairing and cooking.

The Chorale rehearses throughout the season in preparation for presenting a program at our Annual Luncheons. We meet on Thursdays from 9:45 – 11:30 AM, usually at the home of Peg Collins. We also perform locally for various community groups. Rehearsals are led by Chris Jonas, former music teacher and church musician.
If you are interested in joining, please contact Maureen Gramo for additional information and to arrange for an audition. Sopranos and altos are especially needed.
