PLEASE NOTE THE NEW MEETING SCHEDULE

 Please be aware that a change in the hours of operation for the Reynolda Manor Branch Library has made it necessary to change the time for our monthly meetings. From now on, unless otherwise noted, the social time will begin at 6:00 p.m., announcements will begin at 6:15, and the program will run from 6:30 until (no later than) 7:30, leaving time to straighten the room and prepare for the library’s closing at 8:00 p.m.

Our monthly meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month in the auditorium of the Reynolda Manor Branch of the Forsyth County Public Library, located at 2839 Fairlawn Drive, Winston-Salem, NC.

All meetings are free and open to the public. Guests are welcome! Our programs are planned to be both informative and educational. Upcoming speakers scheduled for our monthly meetings are:
