Interest Groups

 Arts and Culture

The Fine Arts are alive and well in Bryan, College Station and throughout the great state of Texas. From professional to amateur level there are many excellent theater groups, musical companies, orchestras, chamber groups, museums, galleries, artists and craftsmen. If any of these interest you, then you need to join our Arts & Culture group. One of the Women’s Club’s oldest interest groups, it was created to foster in its members an appreciation for and understanding of the fine arts by attending and supporting many artistic endeavors locally and out of town.

Get together dates and times vary, we have lots of weekend and evening events!

First Monday Book Club

This group will meet on the first Monday of each month at 10:00AM at Barnes and Noble to hear different speakers and authors. The first meeting will be on Monday, October 3, 2022 where we will hear about new books coming out.  Dues for the Monday Morning Book Club
will be collected and given to speakers and authors (in gift card form) for their time.

Please feel free to invite a guest.  They do not have to be a member of the Women’s Club to attend. 

In addition, some members chose to pass books among themselves at regularly scheduled intervals from October through May. This group has been active for over 40 years. It is a great way to stay connected and to stay current with newly published works. Let’s stay connected and keep the group active. **Sign-up to pass books for the 2024-2025 will close on September 22**

 Second Wednesday (Contemporary) Book Club

We meet on the second  Wednesday of the month at 6:30 in person at a different restaurant each month. Members choose a contemporary book to read each month and discuss it over drinks and appetizers.

Third Tuesday Evening Book Club (Zoom)
We meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM online via Zoom.

A glass of wine, a bite of cheese, a good book and a group of intelligent women. Read the monthly book chosen by members’ votes and then join in a lively discussion led by a volunteer.

*2023-2024 will focus on “Prize Winners” as a common theme.

Gardening

GIG is a garden interest group for members of the Texas A&M Women’s Club. The Women’s Club provides a supportive network for women affiliated with the university and scholarships for area incoming horticultural students.

We also welcome all other gardeners or those who have an interest in gardening including other garden groups in the area. We welcome these visitors and appreciate the garden knowledge they share with us.

Dues: $10 per year. First year members join for free.

Taco Tuesday

Taco Tuesdays will be the 4th Tuesday of the month at 6:30.  We will meet at a taco restaurant in the BCS area and enjoy meeting new friends, catching up with old friends, and, of course, TACOS!

Shanghai Rummy

Shanghai is a fun rummy-style card game with 3-4 players per table. We meet on the second Monday of each month from 1-4 p.m. . No experience is required – you’ll be given a copy of the rules, but it’s easiest to learn by just getting in there and playing!

Each person puts $2.00 in the pot, and the winners split the cash at the end of the game. There are seven rounds, each with a little different variation with books and runs. You will need a minimum of one dime per round. Most rounds require an additional 2-3 dimes for buying cards or getting “shanghai-ed”, so plan on bringing at least $2.00 in dimes along with the entry fee.

Members take turns providing light snacks.

Walking Group

Meeting Time and Place Varies 

Walking group is back! Are you counting steps or just want to catch up and spend time with friends outdoors? Please join us for a weekly 1 hour long walk to stay in shape and feel happier.
