We have several events scheduled throughout the year that are simply social; a way to get to know each other and our spouses better.
CHRISTMAS AUCTION
This is an event held in December at our regular meeting. However, we try to keep actual business to a minimum. Each member brings a dessert or appetizer and a craft or some other item to be auctioned off among the members. Proceeds go to the general fund to be used for postage, hostess supplies, etc.
ROAD RALLY / SCAVENGER HUNT
This is an event for members and their guests. A committee plans a scavenger hunt throughout the town, ending at a surprise location with munchies and drinks.
PROGRESSIVE DINNER
For this social night, one member hosts appetizers at her home. Couples then break up into groups for dinner. The entire group meets again at another member’s home for desserts. Appetizers and desserts are assigned to each couple by the chairman, and the expense of the dinner is shared by the couples in each dinner group.
AWARDS AND INSTALLATION BANQUET
This event is the last meeting of the year and is usually held in May. Awards are given for member’s participation in various activities throughout the year. Installation of incoming officers is also held at this time.
PARADES
The club participates in one or two Highland parades per year.
- The parade held in conjunction with the Schweizerfest in June.
- The Christmas Parade held the Friday after Thanksgiving.
CRAZY BOWL
The name says it all. This is a fun evening of unusual bowling among members, friends, and families for a small cost per person. This is used as a fund-raiser for our Relay For Life team.
BOOK CLUB
Members meet monthly to discuss a previously chosen book. Books of all genres are read. Members are enlightened by conversation of many subjects.
FRIENDSHIP BASKETS
Members sign up to participate in this activity. Baskets are passed from one member to another based on a prearranged schedule. A member receives a basket full of goodies one month, takes it home, and brings it filled with goodies to give to the next member on the schedule at the next meeting. The items can be baked goods, crafts, etc. The suggested cost of the contents is $10.00 - $15.00.
BACK-ROOM BUDDIES
Don’t forget, after the meeting a few members can usually be found enjoying a beverage at a local watering hole!
