DISCUSS
Issues and Advocacy
We look at current issues: local, national and international. The group develops action plans to start the ball rolling to get individuals, our own CFUW, and other local groups working toward bettering our world. If you have burning issues you’d like to put forward for consideration and you like lively discussion that can lead to action, this is the group for you. Meeting time currently the second Tuesday morning at 10am on Zoom.
Morning Chat Group
We meet the fourth Monday morning of the month at 10am on Zoom. Contact cfuwkelpresR@gmail.com to have your name included on the email invitation list. Topics are of general interest and elicit lively discussion.
EAT
Dining In Celebrating more than 20 years of Dining - We enjoy fun and informality.
We (couples or singles) take turns hosting informal dinner parties, usually on the last weekend of the month. The hosts set the date and time and organize the menu and theme (if any). The guests bring the rest, usually appetizer, salad, or dessert. We are quite flexible but usually meet towards the end of the month. Home dinners are held in October, November, February, March and April, with January and May being held at a restaurant. For details on current plans, please contact the email address above.
Dining Out
We meet on the 1st Thursday of each month, usually at 5:30pm. The restaurant for the next month is decided by the group at each dinner. All are welcome. Watch the newsletter each month for details, or contact the above email to be put on the email list for monthly information.
Out to Lunch Bunch
We meet at a different restaurant on the 4th Wednesday of each month at 11:45am. The purpose is to sample the offerings of our local restaurants and to enjoy each others’ company. There is a sign-up sheet for each month. All are welcome and the participants take turns arranging the venue. Watch the newsletter each month for details, or contact the above email to be put on the email list for monthly information.

READ
Book Chains
We love to read! But we have no meetings, no discussion. We each read a different book between club meetings and then pass it down the chain, (always to the same person). In this way we pay for one book, but read eight. Cost is shared equally. In May at our annual potluck we draw for a book to keep. Click on the files below to download the titles for each book group.
Morning Book Discussion Group
We meet the last Tuesday of the month (except Dec) at 9:30am to discuss a book chosen from a list selected the previous May. See below for list of titles.
Afternoon Book Discussion Group
We meet the 2nd Thursday of each month, usually at 1:30pm, at various members' homes. Books are chosen in the spring. Everyone is welcome to come and join the discussion.

CREATE
Knitting
The knitting group meets monthly, usually on the 3rd Thursday at 1:30pm in various members' homes. We knit, chat, laugh, share patterns and expertise, because "knitting is good for your brain". You can bring your own project to work on or you can work on group projects such as afghans to raffle, felted animals and felted hats for sale. New participants and ideas for new projects are always welcome. Proceeds go towards awards for students attending post-secondary education in our region. Last year we raised significant funds from the sale of felted wool hats, animals and other knitted items. For more information contact the email at the top of the page.
For Meals on Wheels clients
We meet in members’ homes four to five times a year to make attractive table and tray favours to be distributed to Meals on Wheels clients. We are always open to new ideas and eager to learn different skills! Please note, currently being assessed due to COVID-19.
