The organization sponsors various activity groups that focus on specific interests of the members. YUWO also sponsors three popular lecture series: the monthly Lunch and Learn programs, and the Fall and Spring Study Groups. YUWO also sponsors several bus trips during the year to destinations of interest throughout the region.
Our calendar also includes three special events — the annual Welcome Reception, the holiday Gala, and the annual luncheon in May.
