General Meeting Schedule
General Meetings are typically held September through May on the first Thursday of each month.  Our meetings allow plenty of time for socializing over a glass of wine and a light lunch.  A variety of presentations get us better acquainted with the gifts Grosse Pointe and Detroit have to offer.  Even those of us who have lived here for years are amazed by what exists right here under our noses! 

All members are encouraged to attend the General Meetings.  To make a reservation, please contact Nancy at brschlt@comcast.net.
