Another Season of Great Fun and Fellowship
If you are a “mature adult” and new to Highland or the Highlanders, we encourage you to come and participate in this group with its interesting activities, food, and fellowship! In addition to our monthly meetings with speakers and lunches, a number of day trips are scheduled each year. Also, normally, two times each year the Highlanders offer an extended, overnight, 3 or 4 day trip for those who wish to participate.
There is no “minimum age specification” for Highlanders; and any and all mature adults are welcome to participate. There are no “Dues” and the only requirement is to pay for your own lunches or trip costs when you elect to attend and participate. Look at the activities described below as we continue with many winter activities. Make your plans to join in with this wonderful fellowship group!
