Bookclub

We have two. The women's bookclub meets the 1st Tuesday of each month in a clubhouse, home or at a park. The mixed (men & women) bookclub is starting in September.

Cultural Excursions

Our idea of "culture" is quite expansive and may include sports events (or viewing parties), theater, movies, concerts, trips to Chicago (on free museum day or otherwise) or area or regional gardens or house tours, and art-related classes or activities.  Activities this last year included watercolor classes, lectures, a bar burger tasting tour, concerts, a Kentucky Derby party and a March Madness pool.

Community Service

Volunteer and make friends while doing it. SWMIN aims for at least one Club activity per month volunteering with local charities or agencies.
