Issaquah Women's Club
GROUPS
In addition to our monthly meetings, our members also get together in smaller groups to share some of their mutual special interests in
greater depth. These groups include:
Book Club
Craft Group
Excursion Group
Puzzling
Foodies & Fun
Happy Hour
Lunch Bunch
Mah Jongg Group
Walking/Hiking Groups
Warm Hands & Hearts Group
The Mindful Striders
WEDNESDAY MORNINGS WALKS
Lead's: Susan Harter: harterfry@aol.com
Peggy Pitzel: ppitzel100@gmail.com
This walking group differs from the more strenuious walk/hike by being slower and shorter. It's been popular with women who are just getting back into shape with walking or have previous or upcoming surgeries.
We meet every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. except for the third Wednesday. Walks are between 1 and 2 miles.
If you email Peggy Pitzel (ppitzel100@gmail.com) or Susan Harter (harterfry@aol.com) we will add you to our email list where we send out weekly information on the upcoming walk.
Come check us out, we've been having a lot of fun!
