Get your calendar handy;  you're going to be busy!​

WOW offers many Activity Groups that meet monthly.  Once you're a paid member, you'll receive a monthly newsletter and a calendar of events via email.  Members may contact the VP of Membership at womenofwindham@gmail.com to be added to the activity distribution list for groups.  Do not contact the Activity Leader directly as they do not keep the official list.

Remember, Prospective Members are invited to attend two events before joining WOW and current members can attend as many activities as they wish.

 

Book Bites  is a group of reading enthusiasts that meet monthly to discus the book of the month and to socialize.  The meeting takes place on Zoom as there are a number of members who find it hard to meet in person at night.  The meetings take place the third Tuesday of the month from 7-9PM.  Copies of the book are available on the reserve shelf at the Nesmith Library in Windham 4-6 weeks before we discuss them. EVENING ACTIVITY Third Tuesday of the Month​​

Lunch Bunch If you enjoy going out for lunch and trying different types of food this group is for you. Monthly, the activity leader selects a relatively local restaurant. Occasionally there is a special restaurant within an hour drive and members carpool. Depending upon the location the lunch can turn into an extended afternoon out of shopping, socializing, or sightseeing. DAYTIME ACTIVITY First Friday of the Month

Mahjong  If you have experience playing American Mah Jong, this group is for you. We play American Mah Jong with the current year card from the National Mah Jong League.  We meet twice a month at two different venues. Sometimes we add a lunch after Mah Jong to unwind. DAYTIME ACTIVITY second and fourth Wednesdays of the Month

​

Marbles Board Game  If you want an evening of fun and laughter, this activity is for you.  Marbles is a board game that can be played with 4 or up to 6 players. We have two boards and can play with up to 12 people.  If the hostess can accommodate more than 12, we have access to another board. The object is to be the first player to have all four marbles reach your safety spaces on the board. The game itself is simple but just when you have a strategy to knock off an opponent on the board, your strategy fails. This game is addicting! EVENING ACTIVITY fourth Thursday of the Month.

​

Scrabble If you enjoy playing scrabble you will have fun in this group. It is a relaxing, non-competitive group of ladies. No prior scrabble experience needed. The group meets at the Leach Library in Londonderry. Ladies often enjoy lunch out afterwards. DAYTIME ACTIVITY fourth Monday of the Month.

​

Members Helping Members This group is essentially an informal list of members who sign on to possibly be available if a
member needs assistance. The assistance may be nothing more than a greeting card or email to wish someone well after surgery or during an illness. Or it could be a ride to an appointment, assistance with a meal, or helping with an errand of some kind. Whatever the need, by signing up, you are not committed, but you are on the list to be notified if a need arises.

​​​

Pop-Up Events Members may organize a random event, such as a visit to a winery, a hike, a museum, a sunflower festival etc. The proposed event would be sent to the board email with the request to email to the all of the members. Responses would then be forwarded to the requesting member and they would be responsible for sending out all additional event details, and any related coordination such as ticket purchasing (if applies), carpooling info, to those who responded yes to join their pop-up event and manage further correspondence.

​​

Welcome to WOW is a special group for our newest members (who may or may not be new to greater Windham). We will typically have a few get togethers after you join to help you meet other new members and get to know a few familiar faces who are already members of the group so that you are more comfortable joining the activities. We are here to answer questions about the activities, Windham life and to get to know you better.​​​​
