Book Club meetings are held monthly all year long, with a mix of daytime and nighttime events. We read a variety of books, from bestsellers to classics, historical fiction and thrillers to nonfiction and biographies. Selections are chosen by the group and announced months in advance so you can plan ahead. Meeting announcements are sent via Evite so you can RSVP easily and arrange a carpool if desired. Contact the chairs to join the group or recommend a book for future consideration.

The Bridge Club is set up in flights, but meets in foursomes each month for bridge and dessert. While each Theta must have a partner, non-Thetas are also welcome to participate. Games are informal and are scheduled at the convenience of the foursome. Players take turns hosting. In May, an annual luncheon for the entire group is held with awards for the top-scoring couples in each flight. Contact the chair if you are interested in joining the group.

The Supper Club is all about dining out with Theta friends. Most gatherings are held on weeknights, with locations at restaurants throughout the metro area, and each Theta pays for herself. Invitations are sent via Evite, and because space is often limited, reservations book up fast; the chair maintains a waiting list in case there are last-minute cancellations. A fall planning meeting determines the theme/calendar for each year. Contact the chair to join the group or participate in annual planning.

Chair: Lisa Hogan

This group started out as the Original Lunch Bunch and is making a comeback, but all Thetas are welcome and carpooling will be available to those that are interested.  We will select much-loved restaurants all over the metro area (but NOT downtown). We will insist they offer easy access, plentiful free parking, a quiet(er) dining space or private room, and separate checks (most meals will cost under $25 per person).
