Interest Groups
CFUW Cornwall & District meets as a whole once each month to learn from speakers and hold business meetings, but many more club activities take place through our special interest groups, coordinated by club members. Join as many or as few interest groups as you choose ... Or start a new one based on one of your interests.
Interest Groups at a Glance
Gourment Group
Join us for a delicious culinary adventure where each team prepares a meal to share!
We rotate hosting at a member's home, allowing everyone to enjoy a variety of flavours and recipes. It's a great way to bond, share cooking tips, and savor each other's creations.
Let's come together for good food and great company!
Book Club
Our Book Club meets on the second Friday of every month at the Best Western Parkway in Cornwall.
Books are chosen in June for the following year and presented by members over lunch.
It's a challenging, stimulating, and appetizing time.
Outdoor Group
This club meets weekly depending on the weather.
We participate in seasonal activities around SD&G, with occasional trips to Ottawa.
