Monthly Outings

Our monthly outings were usually the First Saturday, Second Thursday (Gig Harbor) and Third Wednesday. Also listed are any "ad hoc" outings planned (outside of the usual schedule). 

Be mindful of the COVID risk. It's still with us with new variant(s) in 2024. Some of us may choose to wear masks. 

Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test.  It could be flu or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable.  Our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it!
Thanks for taking care of each other.

Crows are among the smartest of all birds.  They can recognize human faces, pass knowledge along to new generations, work together to protect each other, set up sentries to watch for danger, even use tools. Indeed, all members of the crow family (“corvids”) are intelligent.  To  learn more about these geniuses, join Connie as she takes us into the secret world of crows.

Pavilion By the Pond.  Covered outdoor seating
