Empty Nesters

Life takes a fun new turn once the kids are out of the house — and this group is all about rediscovering you! Led by Kelly Scallon, we meet monthly for casual Friday morning coffees filled with conversation, fresh ideas, and outings that bring our “next chapter” to life.

Join us for our next meeting on November 21 at 9:30 AM for Makeover & Muffins, featuring beauty expert Sara Pennella, who’ll share skincare and makeup tips to help you look and feel your best.

We look forward to having you!
