Coffee Corners meet once a month at a variety of restaurants throughout Santa Clarita. As Coordinator, you choose the location and simply communicate with the restaurant to make arrangements. These breakfast gatherings are held on the third Thursday of each month at 10:00 AM. 

Coffee Corners are a fun, relaxing morning that is all about connections – meeting new members, sharing laughs and yummy food. If you like helping others to feel comfortable and included, this role is a perfect fit! 

You won’t be doing it alone – Board members support one another, and guidance is always available. It’s a great way to contribute, connect, and be part of the club’s heart.

Coffee Corner meets at 10:00 AM every third Thursday at various locations around the valley.

Dining Out (DOG)

  • The groups are comprised of 6-8 people who meet every other month starting in January, with a total of 6 times per year.
  • Groups meet at a restaurant of their choosing for either breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. The date and time are decided by the group.
  • Rotating group members are assigned by the DIG & DOG chairperson.
