We share tips, ideas and great conversation!

Tour and Lunch
Learn more about our community by participating in tours of local organizations, businesses and non-profits. Members meet at the organization for a close-up look at how it operates. Recent tours have included Peach Street Distillers, the Nuclear Museum, Grand Junction Curbside Recycling, the Hotel Maverick and Devil’s Kitchen restaurant. Following the tour, we gather for lunch at a nearby local restaurant. Reservations are taken for a lunch and tour at the Newcomers meeting immediately before the tour. If you do not attend the meeting, you may email the coordinator to reserve a spot or to be put on a waiting list. Some locations can handle as many as 30 people, but usually groups are limited to 20 participants.
Singular Diners
Sometimes single people hesitate to dine in a restaurant alone. This group helps singles experience the restaurants of the Grand Valley as a group. We get together for lunch every third Wednesday at noon to share food and friendship. Some of our recent favorites are Spoons, Dream Café and Pour Fellows. All singles are welcome!
Tennis
Play fun drop-in mixed doubles every Monday, Wednesday or Friday at Canyon View Park. Court times are usually 1-3pm but can vary. Contact Tony Miller ToDoMill@bresnan.net 970-255-9964 for updates.
Knitting
Join this fun group of knitters and crocheters to work on your needlework projects, learn from each other and make friends. New members are always welcome to bring a project to work on or get advice on a tricky stitch or unclear directions. This group meets monthly, generally in members’ homes every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 1:30 to 3 p.m. All levels welcome – whether you’re making a simple baby’s hat or a complex afghan, this is the group for you.
Happy Hour
Everyone is welcome to our GJNC Happy Hours, which meet at local restaurants on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month with a bonus happy hour when a month has a 5th Wednesday. Open seating, separate checks provided.
