Calendar

In Person and Virtual Events

We have in-person, Zoom, and hybrid (both in-person and Zoom) events.  Check the calendar below or the online newsletter for details.

Important Note for In-Person Events: Be Kind! – If you’re not feeling well or have any symptoms such as a fever, cough, runny nose, COVID, etc, PLEASE be courteous to your fellow members and don’t attend.

We chose to use Zoom videoconferencing software because it is user friendly and it’s free. You may connect via computer, tablet, or smart phone. If you need help with Zoom, please contact Teresa.

If you have ideas for additional events or activities please contact Jan.

Zoom meeting links are sent weekly on Monday to all current members of CIM who have an email address on file with the national office. The subject line is “CIM Weekly ReMINDer.” Interested in attending as a guest? Please contact Teresa (see above).

Please note all times are Eastern time zone.

PROGRAM – Water, Water Everywhere:  The Netherlands (Holland) — A Country Below Sea Level Where the Past Meets the Future by James Lowery

This is a general presentation about this visually stunning country, and the presentation will include how The Netherlands handle water in a country below sea level.  It will cover many things that they are doing there that we in the United States should be doing and could learn from them.  The people and governments of the Netherlands understand how to live with water instead of against it.

Annual Holiday Party and Gimmee Grabbee Gift Exchange!

We will be upstairs in the Beattie Room. Please do not arrive before 7:00pm.

HOLIDAY PARTY!
Doors open at 7 pm; we’ll eat at 7:30. Meat, bread, beverages, and tableware will be provided. For the pitch in, please bring food to share. We usually get plenty of desserts, so if you’re so inclined, please bring an appetizer, salad, vegetable, or fruit instead.
Please bring the recipe for your dish so we can put it in the upcoming CIM Recipe Book.

GIFT EXCHANGE!
The gift exchange after dinner is always a hoot. We call it “Gimmee Grabbee” – when it's your turn, you may choose a gift that hasn't been selected yet or take one that someone else has already chosen. Presents remain wrapped until everyone has chosen. People choose based on the appearance of the package and/or what they think might be inside. Every year, there are a few imaginatively wrapped presents that are the hit of the party! Participation in the gift exchange isn't required, but you'll be missing out on some of the fun if you don't. Suggested price range for a gift is $10-$15.
