Social Activities -

Twain Rivers Book Club:  On the last Monday of every month, our book club meets at a restaurant, coffee house, or library.  If at a restaurant, we get there before 6:30 p.m. for those that want to enjoy a meal, otherwise we convene at 7 p.m. for discussion.  The location & book selection of the month and a history of titles past is available on our Book Club page.  To be placed on the Book Club mailing list for notification, contact Bill F. via email.

Knit Wits: Early in the evening of the first Friday of every month, ESMR holds a party in a member's home.  Yes, some people actually work on their knitting projects & chat... others play challenging games.  Each person (or couple) in attendance is asked to bring a food item and/or beverage to share.

Pancake Breakfasts:  At 10 a.m. on the second Sunday of every month, join us for a delicious breakfast, featuring all-you-can-eat pancakes, eggs, sausage links, juice, & coffee.  A donation of $5 for adults, or $1 for children ages 12 and younger, is requested.

Hildegard Sisterhood:  On the second Monday evening of every month, our women's group meets in a member's home.  A topic is selected in advance and light snacks are served.  Our group's name honors Hildegard of Bingen, who was a brilliant, inspirational composer and Renaissance woman.  You can learn more about Hildegard of Bingen by clicking here.   For more information about this group contact Liz S. via email.

Potluck Lunches:  On the fourth Sunday of every month, ESMR holds a potluck immediately following that Sunday's morning presentation.  Members are invited to bring one of their favorite food dishes, guests are invited to just bring their appetites.  It's always a wonderful mealtime to be with friends... and did we mention that it's Free to all?  It is.

Trivia Nights:  Triva Night has become at least an annual event now.  It's our favorite "Fun" - raiser!.  People come from all over the area to try for the prizes...and everyone has a blast.  Check our Upcoming Events page for the next date & location of the next Trivia Night and/or to be notified by email, contact Eric J. via email.

Member's Retreat:  Once or twice a year for several years now, the members retreat to a secluded farm alongside the Black River in southeast Missouri.  Fellowship & fishing, kayaking & cooking, sharing life's experiences and loads o' laughter round out relaxing weekends.
