Special Interest Groups

Our diverse Special Interest Groups provide endless opportunities to learn, enhance your skills and forge new friendships.  Explore our various groups and find the perfect matches for your interests.

Bring your own bike or sign one out from the club if/when available and have an adventure on wheels with other bikers. A great way to get exercise and enjoy our beautiful surroundings. Biking Buddies meets on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. at the Front Gate to go bike riding.  Our rides will range from 8 miles to 15 miles and we will try to ride on quiet streets and sidewalks to be safe.  Many of our outings will include stopping for lunch.

Please come to the Desert Horizons Card Room to select and play one of our many games: such as Rummikub, Five Crowns, Spite and Malice and Yahtzee.  We meet from 1:00 - 3:30pm every Friday.

No need to sign up, just get the key to the game cabinet from DH Reception and come have a Fun Friday!

Want to play or learn Hand and Foot?  Hand & Foot is a card game where you deal 2 sets of 11 cards.  The object is to play your “hand” then your “foot” by melding them to sets of 3 to 7 cards of the same rank.  4 or 6 players per table.

Wednesday afternoons at DH Clubhouse Card Room from 1-3 p.m.

Helping Hands is a Women's Club support group designed to help  members experiencing difficulties, illnesses or even coping with the loss of a loved one, by showing acts of kindness and assisting in their needs.

It all begins with YOU.  Being a Good Neighbor is a treasure that provides an important network of friendship and support in our community.  Being a Good Neighbor shows kindness and concern as we watch out for one another.  If you feel a call or card of support, well-wishes or sympathy from the Women's Club would be appropriate, contact the Helping Hands Leader and she will gladly respond and follow through.

The Movie Club format is similar to our Book Club. Every month we’ll have a host and a leader. The movies for each month will have some sort of common theme. Based upon the theme for that month, we will meet to compare and contrast the two movies - the plots, character development, photography, sets, locations, costumes etc. Some movies will be classics, some will be newer; some will make you laugh and others, perhaps cry; some will be light-hearted and some incredibly thoughtful. Of course there will be drinks & popcorn. 

Themes might include: Strong Women, Remakes, Romantic Comedies, Period Dramas, Mysteries, Specific Actresses, Specific Actors (The possibilities are endless!)

Advance Time Commitment: 2 movies @ approximately 2 hours each = 4 hours for the month.

When: Movie Club is generally held the week AFTER the DHWC Book Club so some members can participate in both clubs. Watch for the Movie Club email for the specific movies & then be sure sign up for that month’s event.

Where to watch: We will research and let you know which streaming services will carry the movies for the month. If you don’t subscribe to a particular service – find a friend who does & have a ‘watch party’!

We look forward to some fabulous live Met performances that will be transmitted to cinemas across the globe.  Each opera is transmitted live, in real time, at The Metropolitan Opera House in Lincoln Center at 12:55 pm EST (9:55 am PDT).  You select seats online or in person at Cinemark Century-La Quinta.  Tickets are approximately $25 for seniors.
