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.

Sometimes you just need a night out with friends! If you'd like to get an invite to the Pop-ups, join the Pop-up socials group. All members can send an invite to the group when you need a night out and accept an invite from others. Go to movies, museums, dinner, drinks, or anything that's happening around the area. When a Pop-Up is scheduled, a text or email is sent to the group. Opt in or opt out. It's as simple as that.

Tarrant County is one of the most popular tourist locations in the country, yet many of us have never experienced our area as a tourist. Look for 2 explorations in the fall and 2 in the spring. Watch for upcoming adventures in the ENewsletter. For more information or to RSVP for any exploration, contact Lori Urso (lurso63@gmail.com)

Do you like to read and think about what you've read? Do you want to meet other Alliance members who would love to hear your take on the book you've just read? This is the group for you! We meet every month at a member's home and discuss the book.

This Book Club is currently full. Interested in starting a new Book Club? Sandy Lanier will mentor you! Contact: sandylanier@gmail.com
