General Meeting – Meet and Greet
Don’t miss our first meeting of the 2026-2027 year!
Welcome new neighbors, catch up with friends, and help shape what our year ahead will look like! We’ll then move into a game of Human Bingo, an excellent way for members old and new to get to know each other just a little bit better, and spark some interesting conversations. Can’t wait to see you there!

Santa’s Ride
Santa will ride through the neighborhood as usual but stop at the school rather than the South Pool and Park. Santa will then be available for photos at the park after the parade. Santa’s Ride will begin at 10:30AM at the intersection of Honeywood Trail and Shannon Valley. He will ride through neighborhoods north and south, ending at the South Pool. See the map below to choose your best viewing spot. The route takes 30-40 minutes so please be patient as you await his sleigh. For the safety of our children during this holiday event, please do not let children approach the vehicle while Santa is driving by. Ho ho ho!
Dec 15(ish), Wednesday(ish)
Holiday Decorations Judging
Hi neighbors, it’s that time of year again! The Ashford Women’s Club is preparing for its annual holiday decoration contest. If you want your home to be considered, make sure your decorations are up by December 10th as judging will take place the following week. Categories the judges will pick winners for are Color Me Christmas, Wonderful and White, and Christmas Cheer. As a rule, if your home won in the last two years, you are not eligible to win again this year, but we’d still love to see your lovely lights and decorations!
Dec 17, Thursday
General Meeting – Wine Charm Workshop
Combining a love of wine and crafting, we’ll be making wine glass charms this month! Materials will be provided, and members are encouraged to make as many wine charms as they want to take with them. These are a cute way to identify whose glass is whose at a large event like those often hosted around the holidays. Not a wine person? These charms can be looped around anything with a stem in your home – think candlesticks or gift tags!
Jan 21, Thursday
General Meeting – White Elephant Gift Exchange
Starting the year off by getting rid of extra items around the house! It’s our annual no-buy white elephant gift exchange. Received a gift that just isn’t your style, or looking to give something around your house a second life? Bring it to swap! I’m sure it will find a happy home with another of our members. Members are invited but not expected to put their best (or worst) holiday wear on one last time this winter season.
Feb 18, Thursday
General Meeting – Wine & Cheese Tasting
A crowd-pleasing classic, Erica is once again graciously walking us through a selection of wines, where they’re from, what they pair well with, and where to find them! Learn something new, find a new favorite wine, and enjoy some delicious food along with it.
Feb 27, Saturday
Community Garage Sale
Ready to clean out your closets? This community event will promote multiple homes in our neighborhood to increase traffic and sales! Promotional signage and maps to participating homes will be provided to all shoppers.
Mar 18, Thursday
General Meeting – Pictionary
Bring your A-game to this month’s meeting for a few rounds of pictionary! We’ll likely have more enthusiasm than artistic skill, but put on your thinking caps and guess… what the heck is that supposed to be?
Mar 20, Saturday
Easter Egg Hunt
Hop into spring with our Annual AWC Easter Egg Hunt! Please join us for a fun-filled event of egg hunting and photos with the Easter Bunny. Perfect for kids of all ages. Location at the South Pool. Don’t miss the chance to make magical memories – see you there!

General Meeting – Progressive Dinner
We’re bringing back an old favorite – the progressive dinner! Members will walk to three different hostesses’ homes for each dinner course (appetizers, main, and dessert). Mix mingle, and bring your own closed container as we sip our way through Ashford. The homes will be very close to each other, but please be sure to wear your walking shoes!
Jun 17, Thursday
General Meeting – Skipbo and Wine
We’ll end the year with a classic! Several tables will be set up for Skipbo players, and the wine will be flowing! Never played? No problem. The rules are simple. Take the opportunity to break into smaller groups and chit chat with the women you’ve gotten to meet over the 26’27 year of AWC!
