Activities

Wilton Encore Club offers many different activities and is willing to start new groups as the interest arises. Wilton Encore Club has a monthly newsletter that can be viewed and printed from the website or mailed to members (upon request).  The newsletter announces the monthly luncheon, all activities scheduled for the month and any news about our members. We currently offer the following activities that can change at any time:

• Book Discussion

  • This group meets once a month and discusses the book of the month. This book is chosen either by the group or the leader for that month.

• Bridge

  • Bridge meets every Monday at the Comstock Community Center to play many hands of bridge. The group has great fellowship, some snacks and drinks and congenial playing. We also have a second group on Thursdays that meet at members’ homes.

• Chick Flick

  • Meets once a month for dinner and a current fun/interesting movie.

• Monthly Coffees

  • The Club holds a Monthly Coffee the first Friday of the month, at different members’ homes. The event is a very casual visit with other Encore members and anyone you would like to invite as a guest, are welcome to attend.
