Women On Our Own (WOOO), a club for single women living in SaddleBrooke, has a busy schedule of activities planned for the coming months:
Meet Ups: Always fun are the spontaneous outings hosted by individual members and open to all. Recent outings included dinner at Outback Restaurant, Harp Fusion Christmas Concert and Art-Rageous, a theater event where art is created on stage while live music is performed. In January the group will attend the Whitney Houston Tribute Concert at the DesertView Theater. To join the Meet Ups group, go to Meetups.com or contact Donna Marie at [email protected]. Notices of events will then appear in your email when they are scheduled.
Book Club: Breakfast and Books – In January there will be an open meeting for all WOOO members (and potential members) who would like to see what the book club is all about. The meeting is on the fourth Friday of the month at 9:00 a.m. in the restaurant at MountainView Clubhouse. We meet in the back room. Different members select the books and facilitate the meeting each month. For more information contact Brenda at [email protected].
Dine-arounds: The December dine-around was held at Chili’s in Oro Valley. Dine-arounds are scheduled for the third Wednesday of the month. For where the dine-around will be in January, contact the hostess, Celia, at [email protected].
Pot Lucks: Dine at members’ homes once a month at the Pot Luck dinners. These are a wonderful way to discover new friends and re-connect with old friends. A long standing tradition of the On Our Own group (now WOOO), the potlucks continue on the fourth Saturday of each month from January through October. For more information, or to receive notice of future events, contact Brenda at [email protected].
Day Trips: WOOO members enjoyed a festive hay ride around the community of Winterhaven to view Christmas lights. The Festival of Lights celebrates the holiday season in Tucson and is visited by hundreds of thousands of people from all over southern Arizona. Over $23,000 and 42,000 pounds of food was raised for the Community Food Bank.
