Shared Interest Groups

Join us to make blankets, hats, or scarves for charity. The majority of our projects will go to The Upper Valley Haven. In the process expand your skills, try something new, make some new friends, and have fun being part of something bigger. 

Since September of 2019, this SIG has created and donated scarves, cowls, baby and regular blankets, hats, mittens, and sets of matching hats and mittens. This SIG for members runs July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

The concept is simple: members get together to visit interesting destinations within a reasonable driving distance, share the experience, and have some fun along the way. Think museums, historic sites, gardens, local gems — the possibilities are endless, and the group will decide together!

Despite the proliferation of warnings about scams, it only takes a moment of distraction to be victimized. Modern "human hacking" uses sophisticated psychological triggers to bypass our better judgment. This group provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to share experiences, analyze real-world case studies, and build the practical "digital muscle memory" needed to protect ourselves and our families.

We will join together to create a warm and welcoming community where grandparents meet to share experiences, insights, and support around the joys and challenges of grandparenting. Whether you are a new grandparent, raising grandchildren, or navigating long-distance relationships, this group offers a safe space to exchange stories, learn new strategies, and celebrate the unique role grandparents play in family life. Each meeting features meaningful discussions on relevant topics, opportunities to ask questions, and the chance to connect with others who truly understand the joys and responsibilities of being a grandparent in today’s world. 

This group will meet on Wednesdays from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM beginning October 15.

Join us to play Mah Jongg! This is meant to be a very informal, fun group designed for intermediate players (those who are already familiar with how to play the game)!

This SIG is currently on hold; we will update this page once participants decide to resume.
