The XYZ Club

Extra Years of Zest

Sharing wisdom that only comes from living,
Giving strength that only comes with experience,
Spreading happiness that only comes from loving,
Taking time that only comes from caring,
And finding contentment that only comes from God.

The purpose of the XYZ Club is to:

  • To provide the opportunity for senior citizens to participate in wholesome recreation and activities.
  • To encourage fellowship among senior citizens.
  • To provide an outlet for the skills, knowledge, and interest of senior citizens.
  • To promote the incentive of senior citizens to participate in group activities.
  • To provide opportunity and encouragement for participation in church activities and projects of special interest to seniors.

Membership

A member must be fifty (55) years or older. You do not need to be a member of Parkwood Baptist Church to either attend or be a member of our Club. All members pay membership dues in the amount of $12 per year (or prorated at $1 per month if a person joins after the cut-off of October of each year). All first time visitors will be provided a complimentary meal as our Way of saying “Thank you for coming and we hope you enjoy your time with us'. This gives the visitor an opportunity to decide if they would like to become a member of our Club.

Meeting Date and Place

The meetings of this Club shall be at the Parkwood Baptist Church Fellowship Hall on the 4th Monday of each month at 6:00 PM. The meeting consists of a meal ($4.00 per person), devotion time, monthly program and business meeting and usually lasts no longer than two hours. There is no meeting in November and the December Meeting is usually held the first Monday of December. There is usually a special holiday program in December.

Miscellaneous Information

The Club elects officers each October from our membership. Members are assigned to a group so they will receive a call regarding the upcoming meeting and/or other information.
