SPANRC’s purpose is to bring women together where they can meet, make new friends. and have fun. Our members span a range of backgrounds, interests, and ages. The club holds regular monthly events, such as coffees, luncheons at local restaurants, in addition to a monthly activity. Examples include visits to local museums, theater outings, greenhouse tours, mystery bus events and many more.

There are also several activity groups who meet monthly offering something for everyone.  These include a monthly book club, quilting group, games such as Bunco, Mah Jongg, Bingo, and Canasta. There is also a crafting group called Knotty Ladies, which welcomes all sorts of crafting. If you would like more information about the club, visit our website.
