Annual Events
Cultural Enrichment Day is normally held in October where a program, lunch, and a Heritage Arts Contest for members is held. Programming themes vary from year to year.
International Day is normally held in November. The Country of Study changes each year. We have a yearlong study of the country’s culture, government, food, etc.
We celebrate and embrace the country through presentations and tasting their cuisine.
