Women’s Club unveils new activities
By Mary Rea

The Scripps Ranch Women’s Club (SRWC) general meeting in mid-July provided the perfect forum for rolling out new and expanded programs for the 2024-25 club year.
Are you interested in playing pickleball? The world’s fastest growing sport has arrived at the Women’s Club. A social and friendly Pickleball group was added to the Women’s Clubs’ slate of activities in August. Members can now enjoy a fun, low-key work out on Friday mornings while improving their reflexes and balance.
Another new program which was implemented this club year is a monthly Coffee Klatch hosted by our SRWC President Renie Martin. Each month, Renie plans to invite a group of members to get together in an informal setting to converse and enjoy one another’s company. As our club continues to grow each year, we are pursuing more outlets for social enjoyment and for cultivating friendships. The Coffee Klatch will be a wonderful setting for members to get better acquainted. After all, good conversation over coffee (or tea) never goes out of style.
For our book lovers and literary members, we launched a new and second book group. Our popular, long-standing book group, Ranch Readers, recently enjoyed lively discussions centered on two award-winning books –“The Women” by Kristin Hannah, and “The Huntress” by Kate Quinn. The club’s two book groups will enable our members to continue to bond over books and to enjoy engaging discussions!
Social activities in sunny August were primarily outdoors. The warm weather beckoned us to enjoy the sunshine and natural beauty of San Diego. At the top of our summer bucket list was a Sunset Picnic at Cuvier Park in La Jolla overlooking the sparkling blue Pacific Ocean. We lounged, dined, socialized and appreciated the sun setting over the sea. To continue with our summer enjoyment, we spent one August morning walking along the La Jolla Cove Trail and admiring the panoramic views.
The Women’s Club’s regular interest groups were also active during August, including Bridge, Bunco, Books, Mahjong, Scrabble, and Fun and Games. Next month, we are especially excited about a behind-the-scenes Old Globe Tour planned by our Social Committee as well as a pre-theatre cocktail party followed by an evening at the Scripps Ranch Theatre to see the comedy “Fully Committed.”
There’s nothing better than making new connections and friends. We hope you join us in our many social activities by contacting our Membership Chairperson Lynn Parke at lparke@san.rr.com. Additional information about the Women’s Club is also available on our website at srwomensclub.org.
