  • Meetings: Monthly meetings are held on the First Wednesday of each month at noon, at the Kirkwood Fire Station, Main Street, Kirkwood, unless otherwise noted.  Everyone is asked to bring a covered dish, coffee and tea are provided. The meeting takes place after lunch, with Bingo to follow if anyone cares to stay.

  • October and November meetings are catered and will be at Elks Club at 12 noon.
  • Bus Trips: Trips are usually 3 per year.  Members pay for expenses for show tickets and meals, bus transportation is provided by the Town of Kirkwood.  In some events bus trips are opened to the public after all members that would like to attend the trip have signed up.

Important Information:

  • Any senior in the Town of Kirkwood can join.  Membership fees are $15.00 per year. Unfortunately the group can only accept Town of Kirkwood residents at this time because of limited facilities.
