Dinner Divas meeting throughout the year on the third Wednesdays at 5:30 pm, enjoying venues that are diverse in cuisines. Restaurants often limit group reservations to 20-25 people & the spots fill up quickly! Most often we are seated at separate tables of 4-6 to make it easier to visit and for servers to provide separate checks.
Euchre Groups (5) Euchre is a fast moving trick-taking game played with a partial deck of 24 cards. The members have five euchre groups have a lot of fun playing cards and we always take time to visit and get to know one another.

Happy Hour Group We have an event each month, year-round except November and December visiting a local restaurant in the Powell area with happy hour specials; we may venture to a neighboring suburb or Columbus proper. Many will order dinner, but this is not a requirement, nor is drinking an adult beverage!
International Cuisine Dining out at lunch time, our focus is authentic world food such as Greek, Spanish, Asian, Latin American, Thai, and Mediterranean. If you like to explore – take your taste buds and imagination far and wide!
Learning to Fly connects members who are “flying solo” due to the death of a spouse or a catastrophic illness that has caused permanent separation or inability to communicate. This is not a lunch, dinner, or grief group; meeting in homes to provide deep conversations and mutual support.
Lunch Bunch Groups We have 2 groups and many are members of both! We select different restaurants at 11:30 am each month, sometimes local, sometimes a little farther away. Separate checks are always provided. Some of our members join us on their lunch break because, after all, you have to eat, right?
Music Group This group meets various days and times. How fortunate we are to live in an area where so many musical events surround us! Our wide variety of offerings has included orchestral, operatic, theatrical, vocal group, and solo performances. Our venues range from local high schools, (you will be amazed at the talent), to the beautiful Ohio Theater in downtown Columbus and everything in between.
Nifty Needlers This is an opportunity for members who like to knit, sew, crochet, quilt, or embroider to meet monthly and share their projects, expertise, and creativity. Members take turns hosting in their homes.
Out & About This group meets various days, times, and venues. We enjoy a wide variety of activities at many different types of venues in the central Ohio area. Whether it be a museum exhibit, a thought-provoking play, a cooking class, or learning to play bocce, the goal is to enjoy each other’s company while experiencing something new, different, educational, or simply out of the ordinary.
Paper Arts This group meets on the third Tuesday of the month at Powell United Methodist Church at 1:00 pm. Paper arts is the art form employing paper or cards as the primary artistic medium for the creation of three-dimensional objects. It is the most widely used material in arts and crafts. It lends itself to a wide range of techniques, as it can be folded, cut, glued, molded, stitched, or layered. In addition to making personal projects, members of our Paper Arts group provide all the beautiful programs for our Candy Cane Gala and Spring Fling. We love what we do and the people we do it with. Our main emphasis is on greeting cards but not exclusively. We share new ideas, products and techniques to help grow your paper crafting skills.
