There are presently four active interest groups. Any member may start a new interest group by bringing a proposal to a Board Meeting. Many of the interest groups meet at the Clubhouse or use it on occasion.
Antiques and Museum Goers
Love art? Antiques? Shopping? Why not combine all three passions by joining our Antiques and Museum-goers group. Since the 1970s, hordes of AWC women have relished going on frequent trips to exhibits, historic homes, and antique shops. We usually sponsor 7-8 excursions each year, even continuing in the summer months. And we never forget lunch! From time to time we arrange a bus tour and invite the entire club. There is an annual fee of $5.00. Check out our schedule below…maybe you would like to join us.
Book Group
The Book Group meets at the Clubhouse on the first non-holiday Monday of the month at 10:30 AM, September to June. Everyone is welcome to come, join the lively discussion, and then suggest good books for additional reading.

Bridge
The Bridge Group meets in the Clubhouse on the first Wednesday of the month, September through June. Members take turns making coffee and snacks. The bridge game is friendly and players of all abilities, new to advanced, are welcome.
There is a holiday pot luck luncheon and an end of the year luncheon.
The fee for the year is $5.00.
Wine and Dine
Couples, singles – everyone is invited to join this group. It meets several times a year to enjoy delicious meals and great parties. Dinners are in members’ homes, at the Clubhouse or at selected locations depending on the event.
Concerts at Indian Hill and dinner out afterwards, a New Year’s Eve party at the Clubhouse, and the famous Kentucky Derby Party complete with mint juleps and big hats are just a few of the events.
Lunch Bunch
The Lunch Bunch has not had a leader this past year. The group has traditionally met once a month at an interesting restaurant of their choice. Love to try out new places to eat or return to old favorites? Maybe YOU want to get this group going again.
