Calling all men! The Meadowlark Hills, Men’s II Club are looking for new members to add to the current group of great personalities.
If you are a resident or Passport Member why not give us a try. If you decide this is the group for you, then invite a friend! The men meet every second Wednesday of the month at noon, have lunch and a great conversation over the chosen topic of the day.
There will be a guest speaker at each meeting and will take place on Meadowlark Hills campus. If you have any questions, please contact the Hospitality Desk at (785)-537-4610.
Holiday LIGHTS! Bring your CAMERAS! A variety of ACTION awaits when the Meadowlark Hills Travelers visit Oklahoma City and the Grapevine, Texas, area in early December. A five-day/four-night tour planned for Nov. 30 through Dec. 4 has been designed to put you in the holiday spirit by enticing your five senses. There will be twinkling lights and holiday exhibits to see, live performances to hear, locally made food and wine to smell and taste – Grapevine is aptly named! – and artisan-made items to touch.
