By choice or by circumstance, the women of WOOO have found that there are events in life where solitude is welcome and enjoying one’s own company is empowering and peaceful. I can plan my own schedule, control my remote, knit, sew, paint, garden, or nap when the mood hits, see a movie that may tug at my heart, dive into that book on my coffee table or kindle, talk on the phone as long as I wish, or plan a trip to visit a friend or family member. And when an activity or event crosses my path where the company of an acquaintance or friend would be welcome, a large membership of Women on Our Own in SaddleBrooke is just a phone call away.

Events that are not part of the numerous scheduled WOOO activities can pop up on the message board at any time - - a member looking for company to share a new event. Such was the case of an HOA#1 monthly Iron Chef event. Pat Rourke felt this event would be fun, so the message was sent out and a group of WOOO women joined her in attending the January Iron Chef dinner in the HOA#1 dining room. The chef’s planned menu was a delicious halibut dinner which included appetizers, a beverage, and dessert! Our party of six enjoyed this feast as well as the conversation and laughter.

So, if you are a single woman in SaddleBrooke who is not in a committed relationship, please consider joining WOOO. We are sure that you will find activities and/or events that interest you, as well as support and friendships. Call our president, Debbie Flato, for a membership form deblynne50@gmail.com or call (520) 818-2904. Our dues are $10 per year.

A note: Sadly, there are women in our SB community who are now caregivers to a spouse or partner, finding that their lives have become (somewhat) isolated. Please call Debbie Flato for information about how WOOO can help you in your journey.
