It was billed to be a non-religious, non-political group of over age 50 women who got together to do fun things. I went a few times: a play, a lunch, but it soon became apparent to me that their real purpose was to support a church some of them went to. There were two women who headed this effort. I quit when I went to a holiday lunch where all they talked about was collecting money to give to a family from their church. I'm not opposed to charities, but this group, IN PARTICULAR, was not supposed to be a charity or church affiliated or even a "do good" group. It was supposed to be "girls just what to have fun" group. I never went back.
