Carpool & Go is dedicated to exploring interesting and/or artistic venues usually within an hour’s drive from Westport (from Westchester to Hartford to Old Lyme, for example).

We travel by carpool and charge only what the Museum or special site charges for entrance and docent fees along with appropriate cash reimbursement for the drivers.

The trips are open to all Y’s Women members (no special membership required), and the dates and times of travel are dependent on when venues are open as well as trying to avoid conflict with other activities in our organization.

Solos provides a way for single Y’s Women to socialize and meet new friends. We try to meet once a month for an activity. We usually meet for lunch, brunch, or dinner at a restaurant.

During the summer, we meet at Compo Beach on Tuesdays, when Y’s Women can park at Compo Beach without a beach pass.

We meet from about 5:00 p.m. to whenever members want to leave. This time gives members a chance to socialize, enjoy the beach, and watch the sunset.

Annual dues are $20, and we welcome new members.

For more information, contact Terry Queirolo at tmq44@icloud.com.
