The club was formed with the support of the Kiwanis Sunrisers of Reno. Meetings are the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at the Fernley Library. The next meeting is Wednesday, Nov. 14.

The club has elected Tammy Dittman as president, and Kelly Sisk and Wendy Fagundes as co-treasurers, but has not yet filled the rest of its board of directors.

Anyone interested is invited to attend.
