April Book Club: Retro fun!
Monday, April 24, 7:30 p.m.
You know how some months you just don’t have time to read the book for book club? You’re always welcome to come anyway, but for April’s meeting at Stephanie Cooper’s house (161 Highview Dr), she’s picked a fast, fun read that will take us back to our younger years: Stacey and the Missing Ring by Ann M. Martin. So you can go eat junk food at someone else’s house – just like when you were babysitting! Hope to see you there.

Bunco Night in April
Wednesday, April 5, 7:00 PM
Our inaugural meeting of the Babes of Bunco, USC Newcomers Club, was lots of fun, as maybe you heard if you weren’t there. The plan is to play on the first Wednesday of every month, so our next meeting will be April 5 at 7:00 p.m. at Frances Scher’s home (1025 Tall Trees Dr.). Bring a snack to share and $5 so we can offer cash prizes to four lucky winners! If you can’t make it every time, we can use subs from time to time. No experience required! We will explain the rules each time. Just a fun, get-to-know you type of dice game for ladies only. You’ll be glad you came!
Family event: Egg Hunt!
Bring your bonnet and Easter basket to the family Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 25, from 10:00 – 12:00 at the McLaughlin Run Recreation Center.
Events include an egg hunt (divided by age groups), relay races, an egg parachute competition, and other “eggciting” activities.
Cost is either $10 per family OR 2 dozen plastic eggs filled with a wrapped candy (to be used for the egg hunt). We also ask that you bring a snack to share with the group.
In the RSVP, include names/ages of family members and payment option (filled eggs/ cash). Checks made out to “USC Newcomers’ Club” can be mailed to Sydna Burns at 2290 Cremona Drive; 15241.
March book club: Lilac Girls
Please join us on Monday, March 27, at 7:30, at Ann Marie Pirnat’s home (2150 Meadowmont Dr) for March’s book club meeting to discuss Martha Hall Kelly’s novel Lilac Girls. Even if (or perhaps especially if) the last thing you read was Good Night, Moon, please come for the laughter, food and drinks. I know this has been written often, but if you don’t have time to read the book please come anyway. Reading the book may be an easy way to create a common connection, but forming friendships certainly doesn’t involve required reading.
Couples event: Church Brew Works
Saturday, March 18, 6 p.m.
Church Brew Works
Pittsburgh Brewery & Restaurant in an Historic Church
3525 Liberty Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15201
Here’s the story… none of the local brewpubs will take reservations but one: Church Brew Works, which is a very cool old Catholic church built in 1902 restored and repurposed as a restaurant and brewpub. Check it out!
We can visit, look around and have a drink before it gets crowded. Hope you and your honey can make it!
Ladies’ Night Out March: Game Night
March is time for games! Tuesday March 21st is game night! We’ll play any game you want! They’ll be cards, board games, even Cards Against Humanity if you’re feeling brave! We’ll meet at Sydna Burns’s home (2290 Cremona Drive) at 7 p.m.
