Activities with ERUUFians (AWE)
AWE (Activities With ERUUFians) is a social group for adults of all ages who would like the opportunity to build community in a smaller group setting. We meet the second Sunday of each month in the late afternoon or early evening, for a variety of activities and fellowship. Newcomers to ERUUF are especially welcome!
Because our activities are varied (local events, hikes, movies, dinners out), times and locations change each month. We send an email to our AWE Google Groups email list with details of that month’s event a few days before each meeting.
For more information or to be added to our mailing list to receive event-specific dates and times, send an email to .- Contact Person: Deb Davis, Lynn Heath, Gabrielle Weinberger
