Coming Soon - St. James Neighborhood Dinner Groups

We will be putting together “neighborhood dinner groups” which will meet approximately four times from September 2026 to May 2027. These groups will be based in neighborhoods, so we meet people

who may live close to us and spend some social time with them. More details will follow. Please look for the sign up sheets starting on our St. James Day Celebration on July 5th.

For more information, you can email Midge Coburn at mcoburn2@gmail.com.

Here I am
