Forum Member Activities

Lunch Outings

Book Groups

Special Events

Forum members have many opportunities to connect with other members beyond the scheduled twice monthly breakfast meetings. These member only activities include book groups, a lunch or happy hour get-together called Epicureans, and special events as scheduled.

Epicurean Outings:

Getting together for lunch or happy hour at different locales around the county gives members a chance to catch up with friends as well as try different cuisines and visit new restaurants.

Book Groups:

Forum currently has two book groups, both meeting monthly at members' homes, one on Mondays and the other on Tuesdays. Each group sets its own book list for the coming year. Below is a sample reading list for 2019:

• Seeing Voices, A Journey Into the world of the Deaf by Oliver Sacks
• The Underground River by Martha Conway
• Educated by Tara Westover
• The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
• Never Stop Walking by Christina Rickardsson
• Call Me American by Abdi Nor Iflin
• Mr. Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
• Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
• The Dinner by Herman Koch
• Running the Rift by Naomi Benaron

"My Forum book group provides good reads, new ideas and great discussions, and a fun group of women.  Definitely I am reading interesting​ books that I might not have chosen on my own. ".  Marty

Special Events:

The Forum Board plans a variety of activities throughout the year. Epicureans meet monthly for lunch or happy hour at neighboring establishments. Outings are planned with activities such as a visit and tour to places like Pepperwood Preserve, Cornerstone Gardens or a Wine Country Walking Tour. Socials are held occasionally at members’ homes. Special events give members a chance to expand their horizons and connect on a more personal level with other Forum members.
