Four Tuesday evenings a month from September through May the Loring-Greenough House welcomes Tuesday Club members and friends to gather and enjoy common interests and games, film, crafts, and educational programs. Each theme has a “Coordinator” who serves as a touchstone for “Hosts” who take the reins for each Tuesday night’s activities, designing it around the interests of their network. The model is guilt-free volunteerism that adjusts to the realities of 21^st Century lifestyles while opening the house as a lively and diverse place for community to gather.  We provide the place and you provide the fun.
