A social haven for women

By Denise Stewart

If you’re new to the community and want to make friends or you have just had a change in your life that provides you with more time to enjoy social activities, check out the Scripps Ranch Welcome Club. The club has been around for more than 40 years and has a strong tradition of bringing local women together for pleasant times.

The website scrippsranchwelcomeclub .com has information about the club. You can get a look at its variety of regular events and special occasions.

This month’s special events were a celebration of the club’s 43rd anniversary, a coffee gathering at a member’s home, an outing to the Safari Park, a potluck supper and evening at the local theatre.

The regular events of Bunco, trail walking, book talks and craft making were all available for enjoyment.

A new group activity of hiking trails beyond the community is being organized to start as spring arrives.

The Welcome Club meets monthly on the second Monday at 7 p.m. at the Community Center. You are welcome to attend and to learn more about the friendliness of the Welcome Club.
