Get the most out of your membership and join one or all of the round tables we offer. Round tables are like clubs within The Woman's Club. Round tables generally meet monthly for lunch and discussion of some kind. They also organize projects for The Woman's Club. This is the best way to get to know your fellow members!
Bridge Round Table- For the Love of the Game!
Meets the fourth Friday of the month at 10:00 am. The Bridge Round Table offers intellectual and social stimulation. You do not need to be a championship bridge player. Our Round Table is for the enjoyment of the game and to catch up with friends. There are many benefits of playing bridge, an area in the brain used in playing bridge stimulates the immune system. Researchers suggest that is because players must use memory, visualization and sequencing. A great way to keep your mind sharp. Contact Karin Fee for more information at 210-352-0467.

Fiesta Round Table
Meets the third Wednesday of the month at 11:30 am. Our initial purpose as a Round Table was to be a place where new members could come and get a better orientation to the club. It has changed through the years and for a long while, we were just a general interest group. We tried changing our purpose back to the new member focus, but the time frame is not convenient for all new members, and we lost our way a little bit. We have changed back to our initial focus, and we are in a building mode. We want to try to do things that will either focus on things important to Fiesta or we will be offering assistance to the club at each of our three Official Fiesta Events. We welcome those who are interested in joining us and re-building this fun group of members into a Round Table that we will all enjoy.
