Interest groups are the most popular way to connect with other members. Most groups meet monthly; you may join as many groups as you like. It's a great opportunity to meet women who share your interests.
To join a current group or to start a new one, contact Kim Caristi at 765-729-0396 or kim.caristi@gmail.com .
Note: Annual dues must be paid before joining a group.
