We have a fun and diverse offering of activities and social events from which to choose. Whether you are a man or woman looking for a day, night, or weekend-only group, we’ve got something for you!
Book Group Each month we choose a book to read and discuss (usually a Thursday morning) 9:30 am for coffee and conversation, book discussion at 10:00 am. See the newsletter for the book chosen and specific date of discussion.
Bunko Bunko is a game of chance - roll the dice (three to be exact) and let the fun begin. Actually...the Bunko night begins with delicious snacks and great conversation (which lasts throughout the evening). Then we play the game—don't worry about the rules...the game is easy to learn. You'll be a pro after one evening! You don't need a partner or any experience—just come and have fun! Bunko is held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at a different host home; roll-off at 7:30pm. Bring $5 for snacks and $5 for prize money.
Community Connections Check out our Resource File with info about local suppliers (plumbers, doctors, painters, decorators, contractors and many other services). The "Sunshine Sisters" group consists of volunteers who help out fellow Westonites in time of need. If you have an emergency, we're here to help. If you know of a WNNC member who has had a stressor such as a hospital stay, illness or even a new baby, and it seems that they could benefit from some home cooked dinners, then please contact Gail Compton-Flynn. We're also looking for volunteers to prepare those home cooked meals. Please let us know!
Dining In Dining In is a great way to meet old friends and make new ones while dining on some great recipes selected by committee for that evening's theme. We hold three events each year at different volunteer homes in Weston with a different cuisine each time. This is an organized potluck dinner where each couple brings a dish and everyone brings their own beverage. You need to keep track of your expenses for ingredients and we then average out the cost between participants to ensure that everyone contributes the same amount. Also, a small fee is charged at each dinner to cover the cost of eating utensils, glass rentals, etc.
Game Night This evening will be casual and we will play an organized game at the host home. Game Night is meant to be different from other evening WNNC events. A totally casual evening—jeans will be the norm. There will be a different host house for each meeting, with each attendee agreeing to host. Food will be selected by the host—inexpensive and or the delivery variety (pizza, take out, chinese), split between all those attending. Some possible game ideas would be: Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, Truth or Dare, Card Games, Cranium and Charades. Please see the newsletter for dates and contact information.
Flick Chicks If you enjoy movies and a fun evening out, consider joining Flick Chicks. We meet the 3rd Tuesday of the month to enjoy the camaraderie of friends and view the latest action, drama, romance or comedy film to hit the silver screen. Flick Chicks often extends the evening with post-theatre dessert and coffee. We also intend to host an Oscar Night Party.
Lunch Bunch Lunch Bunch meets once a month (usually a Friday) to try out new restaurants (as well as return to reliable favorites) in our local Fairfield area. We sample wonderful restaurants in Weston, Westport, Wilton, New Canaan, Redding, Ridgefield and other neighboring towns. Join us for a different treat every month.
Mah Jongg A new activity for those interested in learning and playing Mah Jongg.. Beginners and experience players are welcome!
Men's Poker Night A new activity for a guys night out! Members will rotate hosting duties. The goal will be every 3rd Wednesday hosted at a different house each time. BYOB. Hosts will supply poker chips, cards and snacks. Prefer Texas Hold 'Em but can decide based on popular demand. Eat beforehand or we can order pizza. If you live in Weston and can play, you are welcome. No spectators, no ringers!
Mommy and Me Book Club A new activity! Looking for a great way to meet friends and occupy the kids for an hour or so? Join this group of moms who like to read but need to bring their kids to meetings. While the kids play, the moms can participate in a very low key discussion with light refreshments and lots of laughs! Our meetings are determined by the schedules of those participating.
Playgroups Playgroups are a great way for parents, guardians, and kids to make some new friends and get involved in the community. Each group meets once a week and alternates between participants' homes. In addition, child friendly destinations are periodically scheduled, as well as weekend events, to give both parents a chance to get involved.
Senior Lunch Senior Citizen Lunches are sponsored by the Weston Senior Center and take place at Norfield Church every Wednesday from September through May. Various local organizations cook and serve lunch on their designated week. WNNC typically serves the 4th Wednesday of the month. We are always looking for additional eager smiling faces and hands. You can cook a predetermined dish (we supply the easy, fail-proof recipes), serve lunch to the seniors, or both. It is a great way to meet other people interested in giving "a little" back to our community while having a great time.
Socials Several FUN and FANTASTIC Social Events are planned throughout the year: Fall Social, Holiday Social, Progressive Dinner and our annual "End of Year Bash." Please see the Newsletter for specific information.
Stitching Do you want to join a morning group of ladies to knit, quilt, cross-stitch or needlepoint? Any manner of "stitchers" are welcome.
Tennis The WNNC's Tennis Ladder begins in September. Play is at the Weston Racquet Club on Mondays from 1 to 2:30 pm. (Childcare available at the Club.) You must belong to WNNC and Weston Racquet. We have five courts (20 players); there is room for all levels.
