I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE – WHAT NEXT?

Have you been trying to lose weight with little or no success? If you have a significant amount of weight to lose and have tried most of the commercial diet programs with little success, this support group may be for you.  4 Tuesdays, March 9 – 30, 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.  

JOY, CREATIVITY, AND TALENT TO FEED THE SOUL

Everyone has talent: from singing to gardening, from baking to poetry-making or ballroom dancing. Yet often the challenge of daily responsibilities makes it seem necessary to put our wonderful talents on the back burner. Come share whatever you do best, or rediscover your creative self waiting just beneath the surface. 4 Wednesdays; March 10 – 31, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.

LESBIAN SUPPORT GROUP

We warmly welcome women questioning their sexuality, women in the process of coming out, or already out. If you are in search of a place to talk, to connect with like-minded gay women, please join us in the safe, supportive environment of the Center.  7 Wednesdays; March 10 – 31; April 14 – 28. 7 - 9 p.m.

AGING AND SAGEING II

There’s much to talk about in this later stage of life. Like, who and where are we now? What’s good? Or, perhaps not so good? The issues are endless. Of course, as we share our joys and concerns, we can count on mutual support and confidentiality.  8 Thursdays, March 11-25; April 8 -29. 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

BUILDING YOUR SELF-CARE TOOLBOX

SOUL JOURNEY: WRITING A WOMAN'S LIVES

THIS I BELIEVE

What do you stand for? What do you believe? What is your personal credo of life? Based on the book, “This I Believe”, we will follow a simple format of conversation and writing of our deepest convictions about life and the world around us. You will leave with a new understanding of yourself and your place in the world. Monday, April 12, 7-9 p.m.

MAKE IT HAPPEN! 

A fun, interactive (we even play games!) workshop designed to help women feel easy and comfortable exploring and planning their finances.  Bring a friend and enjoy! Tuesday, April 13, 7 - 9 p.m. 

AGING AND SAGEING

We are growing older and we are not alone! We must deal with many changes, and the knowledge that time is flying ever faster. Come join a group of senior women as we share our feelings and experiences, both positive and negative, of this stage of our journey. We offer support, empathy and even some humor! 8 Mondays, March 1-29; April 12-26. 10 a.m. – 12 noon.

GENTLE BENDS

Are you committed to shaping up, but you’re not sure how to start? Would you find it easier to exercise regularly with other friendly ladies of a certain age? Our exercise program is rightly named “Gentle Bends” and it might just be the answer to firming up and staying that way. Mondays and Wednesdays, except holidays, 9:15-10:15 p.m.
 
WOMEN’S WORLD

We are looking at the lives of women in history, movies, books … comparing their lives and thinking about our own. Come to the Center and join us in our lively discussions. 4 Thursdays, March 11 & 25, April 8 & 22. 10 a.m. – 12 noon.
 
WRITERS’ GROUP

The Writers’ Group is a writer’s forum where we share our writing by reading to the group, both for the sake of having an audience and for receiving (on request) constructive feedback. We appreciate one another and never criticize. Tuesdays, 10 a.m. – 12 noon.

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED FOR ALL PROGRAMS
We have long recognized how difficult it is for women to take time out of their busy schedules and how often the decision to attend one of our groups is made at the last minute, based on a multitude of factors.
However, the policy of the Women's Center is that if the required minimum number of registrations (set by the group leaders) is not met 48 hours before a scheduled program, the group will be canceled. The leader and preregistered attendees will be notified. We are appealing to all members and others to commit to registering for all groups in a timely fashion.
The Women's Center is dedicated to providing quality supportive, educational, and inspirational groups. Your participation in our groups is a crucial ingredient to our success. Thank you.
