LONG Island Chapter Special Interest Groups
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
SIGs are member-driven, which means any valid TTN LI chapter member who wishes to start a group may do so. SIGs are topic or activity focused, and bring members together who share that special interest. SIGs are as varied as the organization’s members who think them up. Some examples include book clubs, travel (foreign and domestic), Canasta, Mah Jong and other games, dining out, theatre, movies, walking/hiking, gourmet cooking, crafts, golf, day trips, etc. Take a look below at the SIGs that currently exist. Contact a group of your choice that fits in with your schedule to find out if an opening exists or if they have a wait list. If you find that is not an option, contact Debbie Fox, Membership Services Committee Chair at vixen1@optonline.net with your idea and the Committee will assist you in forming a new group.
