Village Interest Groups
With our growing focus on increasing opportunities for connections and friendship amongst our Villagers, we are excited to be launching a new way of coming together —Interests Groups led by members and volunteers that bring individuals that share common interests together regularly to explore what they love.
Below is a list of our current interest groups. We hope to expand our offerings. If you desire to explore any of our interest groups listed below or start a new interest group, please contact Cindy Georgette, our Social Events Manager at (650) 465-3338 or cindy@villagesofsmc.org
