Social Activities

Social activities at Gilda’s Club are the highlight of our community. Each month, members gather together to eat, play games, share talents, talk, laugh and live. Most events include food – a potluck dinner or a meal prepared by our volunteers – and some kind of fun. Each October, we have an all-age, full costume Halloween party called Noogiefest, for example, and have hosted game night, a talent show (Gilda’s Got Talent!), and Fiesta Italia including a full-course Italian dinner created by a volunteer chef. Social events are one of the most popular activities at Gilda’s Club because it brings members together, and members know others in the room are going through, or have gone through, a similar journey.
