About TWNC
Our Mission
The primary purpose of TWNC is to welcome members and to help them integrate into the community by providing social activities and settings in which members can form new friendships and pursue their interests effectively. You do not have to be new to Tallahassee to join.
Our Music Makers are a fantastic choral group that provides entertainment for the club twice a year as well as for various places in the community.
Membership Benefits
As a member of TWNC, you'll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share your interests. You can attend luncheons, coffees, social hours!
There are also many smaller break out groups that members may join or they may form a new group. These groups include card groups, book clubs, bunco groups, Mahjong groups, a craft group, a walking group, and much more!
We also enjoy going on field trips to interesting places in Tallahassee and the surrounding area.

Our History
Founded in 1973, TWNC has been bringing people together for five decades. What started as a small group of friends has grown into an active community of about 180 members. We're proud of our history and excited for what the future holds! Won't you join us?
Did You Know
Our monthly newsletter, “Newcomer News”, is mailed to each member. The newsletter contains a monthly calendar of all activities, news updates, and announcements.
Each luncheon has a special program that offers entertainment or information about a topic of interest.
Coffees are held in members’ homes (volunteers, only), providing an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with interesting neighborhoods as well as terrific ladies.
Breakout groups are usually held in members’ homes with the hostess often providing refreshments. Depending on the size of the group, each member may only need to host once a year. Being involved in these groups often provides the best opportunity for making stronger connections with others.
Many activities are scheduled for daytime hours. Group members decide the most convenient day and time for their group.
New breakout groups can be formed at any time by presenting an idea to the Board for approval.
Board meetings are open to Members-at-large.
October Coffee
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
🎃 Halloween Coffee & Witches’ Dance 👻
Members are encouraged—but certainly not required—to dress in Halloween attire for our October 28th Coffee at Susan Ivey’s house. And, of course, there will be a prize for the best costume!
Since we’re celebrating Halloween, several of us thought it would be fun to dress as witches and perform a group German Witches’ Dance. Sue Livingston came up with the idea, and we think it could be a lot of fun!
We don’t want anyone to miss out, so everyone is invited to join us. Below are links to a few examples of groups performing the German Witches’ Dance, along with an instructional video showing the simple steps and movements. All you need is a broom or staff and a willingness to have some fun!
We’ll plan to have one practice a few days before the Coffee. If you’d like to join our coven of dancing witches, please call or email Mary Kay Wilder at 239-938-6447or Marykaywp@outlook.comby October 17th. We’ll make sure you receive the details about the practice.
So take a look at the videos below and decide if you’re ready to grab your broom, put on your witchiest outfit, and shake your booty with your friends! 🧙♀️🧹🎶
We hope you’ll join us for some Halloween fun!
