COMING UP NEXT

July, 2025  – CHEW will observe its annual summer break in July this year. (No meeting in July). But members will gather for the Members’ Picnic in August; see details below.

Wednesday, August 6, 2025, 5:30 PM: CHEW Members’ Only Potluck Picnic, Warner Park Beach Shelter, 1101 Woodward Drive. This year’s potluck theme is “New Recipes for the Season.” We invite you to try a new recipe (new to you) using the season’s bounty. Being mindful of any food sensitivities, please also bring a card with the name of your dish and whether it contains any common/potential allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or soybeans. CHEW will provide plates, utensils, and beverages.
