Every meeting is an experience. Whether it's a hands-on workshop, a guest speaker, a field trip, or a festive potluck — we make sure each gathering is worth your Tuesday morning. Most meetings are held at the Littleton Fire Station, 20 Foster Street. Field trips depart from there by carpool.
Guests are always welcome. Come once, see what we're about.
