After I retired in 2016, I was looking forward to meeting new people who shared my interests, as well as the opportunity to try new activities. I was encouraged to join Encore by old friends, and have found the club a friendly venue to meet members who share similar interests, whether it be in books, travel, exploring the arts, museums, food, or just socializing. My first introduction to Encore was the fall fundraiser fashion show. It not only benefited a great local agency, but was so much fun. Each month I enjoy choosing what activities fit my schedule. Glad I am a member!
