We are a singles group with a "Christian Attitude".  We hold one general meeting (normally) the 2nd Friday of the month, a social the 3rd Saturday of the month and go bowling the last Saturday of the month (Sept through June).  We also volunteer at least once a month.

There is no membership dues - just come to whatever events you would like to.  The Diocese of Rockville Centre used to network all the Singles groups within Long Island so we could advertise not only our events but those of other singles groups (social, spiritual, support, etc) as well.  Due to a recent re-organization, we have only our events to share with you.

Please feel free to call me ( 516-775-0858  516-775-0858 ) with any questions you may have or suggestions for future events.
