Guests take turns providing the appetizers, salad, and dessert. Each couple/single will host the group in their home one time in each four-month rotation.
Dining Out groups meet once a month to dine out. Each couple/single takes a turn as the host for one month in each 4-month rotation. The host chooses the restaurant and the date, makes dinner reservations if necessary and either provides appetizers and beverages before dinner or dessert with beverages after dinner in their home.

Wine Tasters are divided into small groups and meet once a month in the home of the designated hosts. The host selects and purchases the wines and each couple or single in the group, including the host/hostess, provides a heavy appetizer. The format can be as informal or formal as the host decides. The cost of the wine can be divided equally among the group or absorbed by the hosts of that month's wine tasting as decided by each individual group. Full dinners are not a part of this activity.
