Ohio SIG (NEW) - Women's Connection

HomeOhio SIG (NEW)

OHIO SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

Women’s Connection members can join Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that connect you with other members for fun, social, wellness, or learning opportunities. They are topic- or activity-focused and bring together members who share similar interests. SIGs are member-driven and member-led, and are as varied as the members who think them up. Examples include theatre and movie groups, health and wellness groups, travel groups, mahjong groups, and dining or cooking groups. SIGs meet in person and via Zoom. In Special Interest Groups, the members show up when they choose based on their level of interest, but there is no commitment to attend each meeting.

Watch your email for more information on these fun activities!

JUSTICE FOR ALL SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP

This group is led by Karen Townsend and Susie Collins. At a planning meeting, we decided to broaden the focus of the group and have renamed our SIG “Justice for All”. This change will allow us to cover a wider range of topics, in addition to racial justice.

For example, in August, we discussed the book, Gender: Your Guide, by Lee Airton. A couple of other topics we’re looking into for future discussions are the rise in anti-Semitism and issues facing Native Americans.

Our monthly meetings will be held via Zoom on the second Tuesday of the month at 10:00 a.m. The topic of discussion for the June 13th meeting was the book Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

The group also discussed several in-person activities. Those will be Women's Connection Pop-ups available to all the Ohio Chapter members.

As a special interest group, all members are welcome to come to any of the meetings. Please reply to Susie and Karen at our chapter email: ohio@ttnwomen.org if you want to be added to our mailing list, so you can receive the Zoom link and our schedule.

MOVIE AND THEATER SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP

The group is for women who like to watch movies at the theater or attend the theater, ballet, orchestra or a show.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP

The Health and Wellness SIG is for women who like to go for walks, visit museums, or engage in activities that we enjoy and has the added bonus of being good for us. Some of the places we have visited include the Franklin Park Conservatory, the Columbus Art Museum, and the Columbus Metro Parks.

HIKING SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP

If you like hiking or walking in the park and are interested in joining this new SIG, or would like to help schedule a hike, please contact Donna Kayne or Roberta Kayne at our chapter email: ohio@ttnwomen.org.

Don't see what you're looking for in our existing groups, but have an idea for a new SIG?:

If you are a Women’s Connection member and are interested in organizing and /or leading a new or paused Special Interest Group, please contact Donna Kayne at our chapter email: ohio@ttnwomen.org. When there are enough people interested, we will form a new SIG or re-start a paused SIG.
