We're thrilled to unveil an exciting new chapter in bringing our Villagers together! Village Interest Groups represent a fresh, dynamic way to forge meaningful connections and lasting friendships within our community. What makes Village Interest Groups special? They're entirely driven by you—our members and volunteers who step forward as leaders to guide groups centered around shared passions and hobbies. Whether you're an art enthusiast, garden lover, book club devotee, or have any other interest you'd love to explore with like-minded neighbors, these groups create the perfect space to dive deeper into what brings you joy. Each Interest Group meets regularly, giving you consistent opportunities to connect, learn, and grow alongside fellow Villagers who share your enthusiasm. It's community-building at its most authentic celebrating the diverse interests and expertise that make our Village so vibrant. Ready to discover your tribe?


Join an existing Interest Group or take the lead in starting one that reflects your passion!


To join a group or learn more about starting one, reach out to our Social Events Manager, Cindy Georgette, at (650) 465-3338 or cindy@villagesofsmc.org.
