The Outsiders Club
Members enjoy weekly outdoor activities— hiking during the spring and summer months, mountain climbing in the fall, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter, and kayaking in the summer months. Members provide their own equipment and transportation. Outings are usually within a 30-minute ride from Lewiston to the destination and last several hours. These activities are generally at no cost to members. The Outsiders welcomes new members.

Art Lovers Club
The purpose of the Art Lovers Club is to share artwork, tips, and sources for art materials. Members may also share their favorite artists, movements, and museums. This club meets every other week or so, by ZOOM. You do not need to be an artist to join. Call to attend the next meeting and see what we are all about.

Issues and Underlying Issues
The idea for this club arose from Steve Piker’s “Slavery, 1619” class. This interest-driven club will meet every other week to discuss current issues as well as the background behind them. Members will decide which topics will be addressed during the next meeting, and perhaps suggest possible materials to view or read beforehand. Emphasis will be placed on issues involving stigmatization and marginalization. Call to attend a meeting and see what we are all about.
