We encourage members and potential members to join us for monthly meetings at Sterling Heights Recreation Center on the fourth Thursday of (almost) every month at noon.  Contact us at WomenDocsVillages2022@gmail.com if you have questions or would like to join. Meetings are conducted in person and on Zoom.​​​​​​​​​

 ​​​​July 2026

​

Monday, July 6 - Happy Hour. Let's meet at Evans Prairie Country Club 4 - 6 pm for drinks and/or dinner.  No RSVP is necessary.

​

Tuesday, July 7 - Movie and Meal. We meet for a matinee movie inside the Epic Theatre at Lake Sumter Landing in front of the room where the movie will play 15 minutes before the movie.  This month's movie will be decided by a poll on Facebook starting the Thursday before the movie.  Please vote for your choice and then check on the Monday before it to see which movie and what time.  (If you don't do Facebook, you can email Monika with your choice.)

​

We each get our own tickets, and you can buy them at the theater window, or skip the line and buy them online at Epic's website or at the kiosk inside the theater (my favorite).  If you join their Loyalty Club, the tickets are less than $7 on Tuesdays!  Please wear your name tag so we can find each other.  Afterwards we will go for an optional meal and socializing at Lake Sumter Landing.​

​

Thursday, July 14 - Book Club. The club meets the second Thursday of the month at 1 pm at Fenney Recreation Center.   This month's book is Shanghi Girls by Lisa See.  There is an optional post-meeting session at Fenney Grill.
