Arias ‘r Us  MEETING ON ZOOM   - OPEN TO NEW MEMBERS
 ***MEMBERS ARE GETTING TOGETHER FOR IN-PERSON PERFORMANCES***   
Do you love opera but have a hard time finding friends with the same passion? Then this group may be for you. There are many ways to see opera without the sky-high ticket prices for orchestra seats at the Metropolitan – HDTV broadcasts, last minute ticket lines, smaller opera companies. And there are opera lectures all over town. The idea is to listen to gorgeous music and then discuss what we have seen and heard. Join us and let’s discuss what other musical adventures we can plan.

Culture Mavens  MEETING ON ZOOM - OPEN TO NEW MEMBERS
 ***MEMBERS ARE GETTING TOGETHER FOR IN-PERSON CULTURE ACTIVITIES***    
Culture Mavens provides a forum to find others who share your passion for theater, film, dance, music, museums, and other cultural activities.  We meet monthly on a weeknight via ZOOM for a lively discussion about what we’ve seen or done that we recommend (or NOT!) and upcoming events. Meeting attendance is on a first-to-respond basis. 12-15 members get together every month. Detailed meeting notes are e-mailed afterward to all group members. All Culture Mavens have access to the large mailing list and communicate via email. So, if there’s something you want to do, see, or listen to you can send an e-mail to find like-minded women to join you  -either virtually or in-person.  You could also suggest a meal or a drink at either end of your event, and get to know your new friends.

For the Love of Dance   CURRENTLY ON PAUSE
As Martha Graham said, "Dance is the hidden language of the soul!" By watching exciting dance in styles from all over the world, you can feel that language come to life! There are engaging performances, rehearsals, conversations and lectures about dance all over our city. This is the group for people who are interested in seeing that array of dance styles, going with people of like enthusiasm, and discussing what we've seen. From ballet and classic, to modern and jazz, to Tango and Kabuki, come join us as we enjoy the joys of dance!

Museums & Galleries    OPEN TO NEW MEMBERS
Love visiting the museums and galleries New York has to offer? It’s more fun with a friend. This group gives you the opportunity to enjoy the experience with others who share the same passion. It is an“open ended” group with no actual group meetings, using instead a “Members List Format”. How this works: if you’re planning to visit a museum, art gallery or any other related venue, send an email to the group asking if anyone would like to join you. After the exhibit you can discuss what you’ve seen, perhaps, by sharing a cup of coffee, lunch or dinner.
