WALKING OWLS Every Friday 10:00 AM Galleria Mall Meet in the food court NIGHT OWLS No NIGHT OWLS this month due to the Christmas holiday. BINGO No BINGO this month due to the Christmas holiday. GAMEDAY No GAMEDAY this month due to the Christmas holiday. OWLS CLUB MONTHLY MEETINGS The OWLS Club holds meetings each month in an effort to keep members informed and updated on upcoming OWLS Club programs and events in the Rock Hill area. These meetings take place the first Thursday of each month (unless a National Holiday falls on that day, in which case you will be notified of a different date) at the Mayflower Restaurant on Celanese. The meetings begin at 12:00 PM. If you wish to have lunch at the Mayflower, it is best to arrive around 11:15 AM to find a seat and order your food before the meeting begins. At these meetings, you will also have an opportunity to sign up and pay for upcoming programs. You will see tables as you enter the designated meeting section with sign up sheets and volunteers ready to help you with this process. If you are a new member, this is also where you will find the OWLS Club membership form. See you at the Mayflower! DID YOU KNOW You can register for OWLS Club programs and trips online!!
