Current Interest Groups:
Art Hop: Until we are better able to meet in person , Art-Hoppers will be kept abreast of what’s happening in the Art World by e mail. E mails will alert you to what’s happening in some of the many local galleries where you may arrange your own individual or small group visits. As well, Armchair Art-Hoppers may enjoy the wide variety of artworks and artist’s talks online sent out by e mail.
We hope we can soon get together for monthly ArtHops followed by lunch.
Book Discussion by Zoom and in-person discussions on the last Thursday of each month at 11:30 am . Our room at the library is unavailable to us for the foreseeable future. Currently, we are meeting by Zoom and gathering at member’s homes to discuss and share titles of books we are enjoying interspersed by specific book discussions.
Bridge: Meets 2nd and 4th Wednesday at 1 P.M. . We are always looking for new members with those who enjoy and continue to learn about this game.
Creative Reflective Memoir Writing: Meets the 1st Tuesday of each month at 10 A.M. for a maximum of 2 hours. This is a small joint group (West Vancouver – North Vancouver) of dedicated writers keen to improve their skills and share their stories publicly and privately. With time a bond of trust and confidentiality is formed. Leadership is shared. Keeping the group small is important because story sharing and comments take time.
International Studies: This joint North and West Vancouver group currently meets via Zoom but hopes for in-person meetings later this year. The group shares feature articles and reading or viewing recommendations on global issues, and meets to discuss them the last Tuesday evening of every second month starting in September.
Community Issues: This joint North and West Vancouver group currently meets in -person. The group shares current local, provincial and national Advocacy Issues to take understanding to a deeper level and at times enjoy a speaker on one or more current issues. Members of this group often take issues back to home clubs for local community action including Community Forums.
Mah Jong: A fun way to meet new CFUW friends. Welcome to past members, new members and those wanting to learn to play. The group meets in members’ homes, once a month, the THIRD WEDNESDAY, in the afternoon. For new players, an informal tutorial will be arranged. COVID protocols are in place for meetings.
Meander and Munch: Meander and Munch is a fluid group that goes on excursions with lunch based on member proposals.
Technology: Tech Group is a joint CFUW North Van-CFUW West Van interest group that usually meets five times a year on the fourth Wednesay evening of September, November, January, and May. ZOOM continues to be our meeting format. We sometimes invite speakers – often from SFU, or we simply discuss technology issues and learn form each other. Suggested readings are circulated to the other members of the group by email.
Walking group: The walking group meets weekly year-round on Tuesday mornings. Walks are about an hour, and then the group convenes for coffee. A list of the locations and descriptions of upcoming walks is sent out, at the beginning of the month.
