Women On Our Own

Liz Boyd

Women On Our Own (WOOO) is an organization for women who are on their own (single and not in a committed relationship), who want to stay active and enjoy life with friends. We maintain a busy schedule, with activities to suit any interest.

The WOOO calendar includes many dinners out, as well as a monthly potluck at a member’s home. In addition, the following activities take place in the MountainView Clubhouse:

Progressive Hand and Foot Canasta at 6 p.m. on the first and third Monday of each month (contact Susan Williams at susanfw1010@gmail.com);

Game night, playing a variety of card and board games, at 6 p.m. on the last Wednesday of the month (contact Jan Maresca at janmaresca@gmail.com);

Mah Jongg at 2 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday of the month (contact Brenda McBride at bmcb.ret@gmail.com);

Trivia games at 3 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month (contact Hazel Staloff at hazelny@msn.com);

Mexican Train at 6 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month (contact Joni Campel at joniandpiggy@wbshi.net); and

Book club, meeting for breakfast and book discussion at 9 a.m. on the fourth Friday of the month (contact Brenda McBride at bmcb.ret@gmail.com).

We also have both afternoon and evening bridge groups (contact Terry Hand at terryhand@q.com).

In addition, we have a biking group, and we also arrange excursions to places and events near Tucson (for these activities, contact Ruthe Bergener at blueskiescolorado930@gmail.com). All activities are limited to members who have been fully vaccinated against COVID. If you would like to join us, contact our president, Dee Berisha, at 520-906-2626 or at deeberisha@gmail.com. There is a one-time fee of $12 to join.
