BRING YOUR OWN CRAFT (BYOC)
This is a new Interest Group for 2022! Get togethers are the last Tuesday of the month at 2:00 pm. Whether you knit, crochet, or do needlepoint, embroidery, or cross stitch, you are welcome to join us. We will meet monthly on a day/time to be decided by the group. The plan is for each group member to commit to hosting just once between October and May. Bring any portable project and enjoy time with each other and share crafting knowledge and advice.

JAUNTERS – temporarily discontinued; suggestions & volunteers for relaunch requested
One of our most popular interest groups! Day trips with the Jaunters provide a moveable feast of countryscape and cityscape within the Niagara Region and beyond. Join us on the third Thursday of each month for historical, cultural and artistic experiences. Members can attend any Jaunters outing as destinations are announced each month (check the Events Overview page on our website). Occasionally, guests are welcome.
