After our weekly meetings, many of us get together for lunch to discuss the talk. Members also offer their homes about once a month for potluck suppers, and on one Friday evening each month (“Vinnie’s night”), we fill several tables at a local eatery.
HGP Book Club meets monthly to discuss seminal fiction and non-fiction selections. Culture Vultures alerts members of group outings to live theater, film showings, concerts, and art exhibits.
Members often organize periodic hikes in the Portland area. Further afield, several HGP’ers booked a cruise together last summer up Alaska’s Inner Passage.
We identify and support (through advertising, member contributions, or volunteer work) local nonprofit organizations and charities that reflect our values, like Oregon Public Broadcasting, Transition Projects, Sisters of the Road, Oregon Food Bank, Mercy Corps, and Coalition for a Livable Future.
