OUT & ABOUT is a group for Club members to go on fun day trips together, share activities to do for the weekend, take a bike ride, visit small towns, make a flower arrangement. Sky's the limit!

Since March 2020, we have arm-chair-traveled to our favorite island (June), shared our favorite activities in the Puget Sound (July), talked about a hair-rising adventure we had (August), learned about local treasures from our Newcomer friends (September), updated our basic knowledge of recycling (October), tested our knowledge of the Pacific Northwest through a trivia game session in November, and we went holiday shopping with Carol in December.

Busy times! The activities are member-led, planned for members by members. If you have an idea to share with other Newcomers, consider initiating an activity though the OUT & ABOUT group. You don’t have to do it alone: the OUT & ABOUT Team is ready and willing to help.

Whether you have seen Hamilton twice, or love Cats, or attended the Celine Dion show in Las Vegas, we want to hear about it! Many of us have memories of concerts and musicals we loved and will stay with us forever. In May we want to be "musical" and share our stories about Memorable Musical Moments. Or simply get ideas of venues and artists that we could add to our list.

2021 January 8 - Favorite Winter Getaways

In Washington, winter is all about embracing the grey rather than escaping it. While it might be tempting to stay rugged up and cosy indoors, our time might bebest spent outside: hiking, skiing and exploring. After all, the sun sets by 4:00 p.m. so that still allows for plenty of time indoors with a glass of wine by the fire. Where would you like to spend some time this winter? What are your favorite memories of winters past in our state? Share your thoughts, or come and get some insights on fun things to do and places to safely visit not too far from us.
