From Books to Bunco, there’s a Seat for You at Every Table
Interest Groups are at the core of the ESGV Branch-AAUW experience. These groups welcome all members, whether you’re new to the branch or looking to try something new. They offer a friendly and engaging way to connect with others who share similar interests and passions. Meetings are scheduled throughout the year, and all members are encouraged to participate in them.

📚 Book Groups
If you enjoy a good read and even better conversation, our book groups are a perfect fit. With two Daytime Books groups and an Evening Books group, there’s a time that suits every schedule. Each fall, members vote on the reading list, shaping the year’s journey through fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between. Our Mystery Books group adds an extra twist, meeting five times a year to explore whodunits and plot twists that are sure to spark great discussion.
🃏 Bridge
Bridge enthusiasts can choose from four lively groups, each open to players of all experience levels. Whether you’re learning the ropes or have been playing for years, there’s a seat at the table for you. Beginning Bridge offers a relaxed introduction, while Bridge I, II, and III provide fun and flexible play without skill requirements. All groups meet during the day on different weekdays, so you can join the one that best fits your schedule.
🎲 Bunco
Seeking a fun, low-key way to unwind with fellow members? Join the Bunco Group and let the good times roll. This easygoing dice game doesn’t require strategy—just a little attention and a lot of laughter. Whether you prefer afternoons or evenings, a game table awaits you each month.
🎭 Play Reading
This group enjoys reading plays by contemporary playwrights and meets monthly to bring each story to life. No costumes, no stage—just a circle of readers taking on different roles and having a great time with the script. It’s a chance to dig into the characters, discover what we love (or don’t), and share plenty of laughs along the way. If you’ve ever been curious about theater, this is a fun and easy way to dive in.
