This group meets eight times during the year. It starts in September, skips November and December, and starts up in January through May. A restaurant is chosen, usually an Early Bird with an optional menu, sometimes cocktails or a glass of wine is included A hostess for the month is responsible for selecting and working with the restaurant and then getting the invitation out through our website and keeping track of responses of the number of guests for the restaurant. It's that simple and is always a great night out. We do not meet in the summer because the restaurants are so busy they don't need the extra business. 

*Husbands are included in this group.

Gourmet Dinner for Eight is just that - Gourmet.  The hostess selects and prepares the main dish and guests prepare various courses as directed by the hostess.  The emphasis in this group is to create your dish that is special in one way or another--it could feature an exotic or foreign ingredient that might be new to others, or perhaps a unique preparation, or a very special recipe that you have come across--or instead be asked to prepare a recipe that the hostess has provided.  We meet at different homes and there are 4 dinners per year.  You will be grouped with different people each month, in groups of 8 and would be expected to host one time each year.  This is a couples' event, so bring your "plus one".  Limited to 16 participants (plus alternates).

This adventurous group meets every other month and the hostess gets the opportunity to select the date and the country or state for the event. The hosts provide the tableware, plates, napkins and glasses for drinks. Some of our hosts have also looked up facts about the country and have even done a little decorating for the occasion (that is not necessary to do). Everyone brings their own beverage of choice. The recipe for the success of this group is the unique recipes that members find along with the good easy going company. 

Each get together is a delicious challenge and we manage to come up with authentic recipes to everyone’s delight. As we continue our taste bud travels around the world the group looks forward to the challenge of another country or state. We are excited to share our surprise recipes and worldly creations along with great conversation. A record of all the countries that have been selected has been kept and is shared with everyone to help the hostesses pick a country. This year, because of the high interest in this group we have a plan to split into 2 groups if the sign up for an event gets too large. The groups will vary from event to event. If the sign up is not too high we will remain as one group.

Tapas is defined as a savory small plate or serving of Spanish -now international- cuisine. Sharing tapas dishes is a great way to socialize, try something new and sample a variety of foods in one meal. This group (couples or singles) meets the second Friday, 6:00-9:00 pm, on even numbered months at a designated member home. Everyone brings a tapas dish to share and a personal beverage of choice. The hostess provides setups and dessert.

There’s a game every Thursday afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00 that is open to all members.  If you’re a Mah Jongg player, or want to learn how to play, we hope you will join our group. Many of our members have been getting together as foursomes and playing for years.  It’s a fun, casual group and you don’t have to commit to playing every week. Members receive a weekly invitation to the Thursday game from the PDWC website with information about the next game and all you have to do is “register” if you want to play. 

Don’t know how to play but want to learn? Let us know and we’ll be glad to teach you. It’s a lot of fun, not hard to learn and we’d love to have you mush tiles with us. 

Our Games Night group is for couples who enjoy getting together for an evening of fun, laughter, and lively conversation. Our main focus is, of course, games—dominoes, board games, or card games—which are chosen by the host, who is always delighted to teach those who are new to the game. We meet monthly on the fourth Thursday evening (except November and December) with members taking turns hosting and providing snacks, beverages, and dessert. For an evening of fun and relaxation, with a smidgeon of competitiveness thrown in—Let the games begin!

Island Hoppers love to hop around the area and enjoy all sorts of activities. Our trips highlight the arts, nature, history, cooking, gardening, seasonal activities, and all things fun. We are looking for more ladies to join the committee. Being on the committee is as much fun as going on the outings. We also welcome any suggestions you may have for an outing for the group. Come join us on our next fabulous adventure!

This group works on special projects throughout the year to address specific needs on the Island.  It provides individual women an opportunity to feel that they are lending a helping hand in a personal and productive way.  Some of the projects this past year have included the following:

• For the participants in Meals on Wheels:  110 Holiday arrangements were designed, warm lap robes and quilts were collected for the cold weather; and 95 pots of artificial flowers were arranged for spring decorations. 
• For Sandalwood Food Pantry we conducted a food drive.
• For the disadvantaged at the local schools we collected school supplies.

This group is for all New Members or recent members who would like to attend a tea to meet other new members and obtain information about the organization and various groups. Board members and group leaders attend when able to share information. A visual presentation of the web page is usually offered. 

Interest group who actively row and scull on the peaceful and beautiful waters of Broad Creek.
