Movie Group

The member-run Encore Movie Group organizes a monthly afternoon lunch and movie, usually of the art-house variety. Contact the office if you would like your email address added to the notification list. You must be an Encore member to participate.

Writers Group

The Encore Writers Group is not a class; it’s a group of interested Encore members who gather informally. Are you (or do you want to be) a writer? Join us! We provide fascinating reading, lively discussion, constructive feedback, and a series of deadlines to keep you productive. We currently have about ten members, and we welcome anyone who would like to join us. The group meets at noon on the first Monday of every month in room 232 of the McKimmon Center. You must be an Encore member to participate. The group is facilitated by Bob Lathlaen.

Trailblazers

The Trailblazers go on weekly hikes on various trails in the Triangle. Contact the office if you would like your email address added to the notification list. You must be an Encore member to participate.

Knitting Circle

This group for Encore members is open to all levels of knitters and meets Tuesdays at 1:00 PM at the Bruegger's in Ridgewood Shopping Center.
