Monthly Meetings & Events



Connect with other Alliance Members



Most months, August through May, our VP of Programs, will host an event or meeting for all Alliance members. These range from fun Lunch and Learns like our wonderful lunch at Magdelena's with a floral arrangement demonstration, our yearly brunch and fashion show at Neiman Marcus to date nights with our favorite doctors at Top Golf or our yearly fundraising Gala - The Medicine Ball. Each May we come together to recognize outstanding volunteers, install our new President and board and to honor our 50 year members at the Mary Helen Ware Star Awards Luncheon. Keep an eye out for postcard invitations, Evites and the E-Newsletter so you can plan to come. A complete list can be found in your Member Handbook and Directory. Reservations can be made by mailing in a check or through Venmo.


In addition to these events, we have a variety of special interest groups for members to participate in together. We are always happy to create a new group with enough interest and a leader. Scroll down to see the meetings and special interest groups we have planned this year.

May Luncheon

May is for celebrating and looking to our future.

We celebrate two members whose service to our organization have made a big impact awarding the Rising Star and Shining Star. We round out our celebration by thanking our President and board members and install the leaders for the new year.

Alliance Special Interest Groups



Below are our current Alliance Special Interest groups. Each one is a small group that you can join with like minded friends to create connection around a shared interest.


Each group has it's own structure and requirements. Many allow you to only come when you want. Some will require membership. Some reservations. Some only that you show up. Please reach out to the group leader with any questions you may have.


If you don't see a group that piques your interest, we are always looking to add to the special interest groups.
