Monday afternoon book group

Many of our participants were gone over the summer but three of us still managed to get together to talk about books. Unlike most book groups where the talk focuses on a single book, our group is made up of such avid readers that we often end up discussing half a dozen books or more. Zoom gatherings work because we can pull book images and reviews up on powerpoint to aid in the lively discussion. We are omnivorous in tastes and in a single meeting the discussion can go from memoirs, local history, historical fiction, nature, science fiction, fantasy and everything in between.

Pre-pandemic interest group gathering

From 2019:

For their first session this year, the Creative Cooking Interest Group enjoyed a culinary demonstration and fantastic dinner at Salt and Pepper on Colborne Street East.  Andres Rojas, Executive Chef, demonstrated the art of making some of the dishes which included:  slow-cooked chuck beef ragu served with homemade fettuccine, grilled  peach caprese salad and ricotta berry cake.  Great fun!

Potluck at Blue Lake

CFUW members gathered at the home of Pat Clemons on beautiful Blue Lake for our annual Potluck Picnic. Those who wanted took a dip while the others enjoyed the scenery and the conversation. Dinner, as always, was a real treat! Thanks are extended to Pat for welcoming us to her lovely home.
