Civic Groups and Organizations

From the Boy Scouts to the Senior Center, and from the Recreation Department's Civic Center to the myriad of individual clubs and social groups, there are bound to be several that interest each member of your family. Sports, painting, writing, playing bridge, dancing, traveling, quilting, exchanging gourmet meals .... you name it and there's bound to be a group here that gets together to participate!

Contacts for some of the major clubs and groups are listed below. Contact us for more for more information or for questions about a specific activity.
