The “On the Fly” Group will be meeting on the 3rd Thursday of each month – On October 19th we will be meeting at Cedar Mountain Cafe.
5 minute Creativity group: Find your hidden Artist in this loosely structured group that meets twice a month on second and 4th Thursdays. Participants bring whatever they are working on ………… or come to find inspiration. Learning to crochet was one of the skills some were recently working on learning. The phrase “I’m not creative” is not allowed! A chance to carve out some time to be creative, while enjoying the company of like-minded friends.
Team Tornado: Coming again this Fall! If you love sports, this is a group that rallies to support Women’s Sports at Brevard College. Attending seasonal home games is a chance to let them know that AAUW is behind them! (and there are cowbells!) More to come on this group in the Fall when the sports season resumes.
