Aprons & Mitts
Do you have a passion for baking or would like to learn more? This is the group you were looking for! Our monthly meetings usually have a theme and then we come together and try each other’s baked good and discuss the process. This group is open to all skill levels. The only way to become a better or confident baker is practice, practice, practice! While some months we will just get together and discuss the baking method, other months we will have a few demonstrations and bake together.

Diners Group
We welcome you to Diners Group, a restaurant group to get us out of our dining rut with the hopes of tapping into our Epicurious selves. As we are all busy with our daily lives, we plan on meeting semi monthly for either dinner, lunch, brunch or a combo of them all. The only criteria is that the restaurant is new to most so that we experience a new palate outside of our familiar radius. We’d love to have you join us for future gatherings. Please keep an eye out for unique establishments that we might want to experience together!
