Our Community Groups


  • Climbing Your Family Tree

    Genealogy is a hobby that can last a lifetime. It can be done from home, at family reunions or on trips visiting places you or your family used to live. Beginners will learn how to get started, how to record and document your finds, and some of the pitfalls to avoid.  People already searching for ancestors can share their sources and tips and discuss their "brick walls".  


    Hosted by Chris Eddy

    When: First Wednesday of every month

    Time: 1:00PM - 3:00PM

    Location: EWPC Maple Room

  • Genesis Photography club

    Part educational, part fellowship, and all about photography, this community group is open to anyone interested in the art of photography. We will share photos, explore ways to take our photography to the next level, create exhibits, preserve old family photos, and take field trips together.
