There are many BESA clubs and groups in the Washington DC area. If you are interested in joining any of these groups, or want to start your own, please get in touch via email or facebook.
Area Groups - Coffee/Socials
Many of the areas hold semi-regular coffee mornings and evening socials to meet BESA members in their immediate communities. The different areas have different programs depending on local interest. Contact your area rep for more information.
Book Clubs
The book clubs are currently organised by area and meetup regularly to socialise, and discuss a book. Currently there are two active groups - in McLean and Alexandria. If you are in another area, you're free to join either book club. Please contact your Area Rep to join.
Stitches
A very friendly and informal sewing and craft group – a coffee morning while stitching. We usually meet on Monday mornings and have members working on a variety of sewing and craft projects. No experience needed. You can indicate an interest in stitches when you sign up to BESA, or just get in touch with either your Area Rep or Service Rep who will be able to help get you added to the Facebook group.
3C's
The 3Cs Group (Culture, Coffee, Conversation) arranges BESA member visits to local cultural destinations. We have visited the US Supreme Court, the National Gallery, and Embassy Gardens, and have many exciting trips planned. Once you have joined BESA, make sure you get on the 3C's email distribution list to find out about upcoming trips. Signup is on a first come, first serve basis, with priority to those who haven't been on a visit previously.
Pet Sitters
There's a Pet Sitters What's App group running for exchanging pet sitting duties amongst the local BESA pet owners. Find more information on the BESA facebook page once you've become a member, or contact your local Area rep.
Healthcare Study and Reflection Group
This is a group of healthcare professionals working together to work on CPD and meet to discuss current medical practice. Get in touch with your area rep to find out more about this group and when they meet.
