Special Interest Sections of Novato AAUW
Special Interest Sections offer all members a chance to network with associates, make new friends, stay in touch with old friends, gain new knowledge, sharpen acquired skills, or just enjoy a pleasurable time together. Open to all members, these groups invite occasional or regular participation.
Antiques & Collectibles
Meetings feature presentations by a guest or member on antiques and collectibles. Meetings are held on the first or second Wednesday evening of each month. Occasionally, field trips are taken to local shows or shops.
Bridge
Meets on the third Tuesday evening of the month.
Daytime Books
Read and discuss one book a month, occasionally branching out to articles, essays and poetry, and aiming to have a diverse selection of fiction and nonfiction, both serious and entertaining. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month at 12 noon.
Evening Books
Meets on the third Wednesday evening of each month for engaging discussions on a varied selection of books. Books are scheduled only a few months in advance. New members are very welcome.
Movie Mania
Meets on the last Tuesday evening of the month for wide-ranging discussion of recent movies. Participants discuss any interesting films they have seen during the month.
Potluck Gourmet
Meets from time to time on a Saturday evening to share cuisine planned around a common theme.
Tea With Spanish
Tea and an hour of Spanish conversation with a native Spanish speaker. It’s OK if your Spanish language is rusty but this is NOT a language class. Participants must know Spanish vocabulary and grammar. Meets on the second Tuesday afternoon of the month. (This section is currently in abeyance but will start up if members are interested.)
Writing/Journaling Group
No previous writing experience necessary; this is about writing from what moves you and from your life experience, a time for writing together to suggested prompts, bringing in writing, and sharing our writing in a safe, supportive environment. The group is limited to 6 people. Meets on the second Monday evening of each month.
