Special Interest Groups

Join one or start your own!  Make new friends at one or more fifty groups.

Over the years, Special Interest Groups have proliferated as micro-clubs within the Club. For many members the sharing of specific common interests becomes a prime focus of their involvement with the Club.

If an interest of yours is not represented by an existing group or you would like to discuss forming a new group, please contact
David Kelley, Group Activities Chair.
