Special Interest Groups + How to Join.
Women’s Club currently offers over 22 Special Interest Groups— affectionately called "SIGs" — where members can pursue hobbies, interests, join book clubs, develop their talents, go on day trips, or explore something they've always wanted to do. You must first become a member of WCGL to participate in a SIG.
SIG events and activities are posted on each SIG’s description below. For information or to sign up, please call or email any of the chairpersons listed on the individual SIG pages. Chairs can also provide up-to-date meeting details.
If you would like to share ideas for starting a new SIG, or if you have any questions, please contact Faith Stevens.

Intermediate Level
Chicago Style Bridge
We meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month, beginning September 28, 2023. The group will play Chicago Style, which is briefly defined as a form of contract bridge and a variation of rubber bridge, in which one or more sets of four deals are played and scored. This game is well- suited to club and home play. While the auction and play of the hand are the same as rubber bridge, Chicago bridge has some additional unique features. If you are an intermediate range player and are interested in joining us or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the us.
