Events: Gatherings, music and theater
By Denise Stewart
Having enjoyed a summer full of regular and seasonal activities, Welcome Club members are looking ahead to the fall and its calendar of events.
Middle September will be highlighted by an evening of laughter at Scripps Ranch Theatre’s season opening performance of “Theater People, or The Angel Next Door.” To start the special Saturday night, a potluck supper will gather the club members at Alan Binks’s home before the play. The potlucks have become a regular event where members can relish their culinary talents and share friendly conversations before the play. Denise Forgeron has scheduled the club’s viewing dates for the whole theater season.
A second highlight will occur later in the month during the daytime when members will travel together to Coronado to enjoy a tribute to America’s musical history from ragtime to swing, blues and rock and roll, currently featured at the Lamb’s Players Theater.
Club members have attended other performances there and have marveled at the talent and vitality of the cast members, according to Pam Savelsberg, Gadabouts organizer.
A third highlight on a Friday evening called a TGI will take place in the lovely garden of Lynnell Hallock. She is the club’s coordinator of these evening events and will host the finale of the outdoor potlucks that draw a congenial crowd during the warmer months.
Along with these highlights, the regular activities that Welcome Club is known for will provide weekly opportunities for women living on the Ranch to come together for pleasant times. A regular monthly meeting, card games, book talks, craft making, bunco, and morning coffees are routine parts of the club’s calendar. These events are opportunities to build relationships with others who share the same interests.
The Welcome Club is delighted to share its benefits with local residents. For more information, the website scrippsranchwelcomeclub.com will be a good start to connect with the women who already enjoy the club.
