Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to a public monthly meeting in person, or ask for the Zoom link through the society's website contact form.
You can just show up.
What to expect
Each meeting has a short business part, then a lecture or video presentation, with social time before it. Topics change from month to month and are listed on the site. The site does not say whether guests pay.
Tips for your first visit
- Arrive around 7 pm for social time
- Use the website contact form to ask for the Zoom link if you want to join online
- The in-person meetings are in Wayne, Delaware County, not in the city
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Meetings are open to the public and the website explains how to get the Zoom link, but the site does not describe a beginner program.
