Every week, the bulk of the Club’s regular meeting features a speaker. All of our programs can be viewed via Zoom.
We meet in person at the Wedgwood Community Church (8201 30th Ave NE, Seattle) on the first and third Thursday mornings of the month (also accessible via Zoom) and via Zoom only on the second and fourth Thursdays. We open our meetings informally at 700 a.m. and the official meeting starts at 730 a.m.
For many of us, the variety and diversity of information is a valuable part of our membership.
