WOOO members tasting wine at the Old Pueblo Cellars in Marana.

WOOO is an organization for women who are on their own (single and not in a committed relationship) who want to stay active and enjoy life with friends. We maintain a busy schedule, with activities to suit any interest. The latest is a wine-tasting group, which sponsors wine tastings in members' homes and also occasional trips to wineries (contact Jean Israel via email at sjisrael@aol.com).

Each month, we have four dinner events open to members, a great way to meet new friends. The four dinners include one at a restaurant, another one at an interesting ethnic restaurant, one close to home in one of the SaddleBrooke restaurants, and one potluck dinner at a member's home. WOOO members receive information on these dining opportunities each month and can choose to carpool with other members.

In addition, the following activities take place in the Mountain View Clubhouse:

  • Progressive Hand and Foot Canasta at 6:00 p.m. on the first and third Monday of each month (contact Susan Williams via email at atsusanfw1010@gmail.com) ;
  • Game Night, playing a variety of card and board games, at 6:00 p.m. on the last Wednesday of the month (contact Jan Maresca cia email at janmaresca@gmail.com);
  • Mah Jongg at 2:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday of the month (contact Brenda McBride via email at bmcb.ret@gmail.com) ;
  • Book Club, meeting for breakfast and book discussion at 9:00 a.m. on the fourth Friday of the month (contact Brenda McBride via email at bmcb.ret@gmail.com).
  • We also arrange excursions to places and events near Tucson, for example, to the Tucson Rodeo held in March (for these activities, contact Ruthe Bergener via email at blueskiescolorado930@gmail.com).

All activities are limited to members who have been fully vaccinated against COVID. If you would like to join us, please contact our President, Dee Berisha, at (520) 906-2626 or at Deeberisha@gmail.com. There is a one-time fee of $12 to join.
