Women's Alliance
Women's Alliance provides women with an opportunity for fellowship, intellectual stimulation, involvement, and growth. The Alliance seeks, through a variety of programs, to be of service to members, friends, the church, and the community.
It meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month throughout the year to discuss books and provocative topics. Members may lead reviews or just sit and enjoy them.
On the fourth Tuesday, a combined business meeting and program or outing is held.
For more information, look for the Women's Alliance booklet in Visitors' Corner or the foyer of the sanctuary or contact Barbara Crowley.
Programs 2005-2006
Meetings are Tuesday 9:30 to 11:45 am. (Socialize at 9:30, program begins at 10:00am.)
