"It was a warm and welcoming environment for people to go to for a couple of hours," Roh said. "Everyone was talking about Weston — who's the best roofer — comparing notes. People were signing up for book clubs, tennis clubs."

The club, Roh said, has about 150 members. Some of its members are new to town, others have lived in Weston for over 20 years.

"People whose kids have graduated from high school, they're empty nesters, and they're looking to find things to do," she aid. "Our membership is pretty diverse. There's a lot of young families, a lot of families with older kids. There's even a smattering of single people."

Roh said the club has very diverse activities like poker night, game nights, a stitching group and more.

"We're always looking for new members," Roh said.

The club has a slew of events coming up and planned throughout the year. For more information, check out its website.
