:: Empty Nesters
Connect with Active Adults in Their 50's, 60's & 70's
Years ago, WHC formed The EmptyNesters in response to our members
whose children had "flown the coop." Today's EmptyNesters are a
group of wonderfully energetic people – couples and singles – who
enjoy each other’s company, participating in a variety of events
including many WHC activities, and meeting like-minded EmptyNesters.
We have few, if any, requirements for membership. We have no
dues, but we do have a wonderful time together enjoying a very wide
variety of activities. We are led by Co-chairs and a great planning
committee who always find new and exciting programs for the group.
We have enjoyed and continue to enjoy:
- retreats and discussions with clergy, outside speakers and
book reviewers;
- music and theater, including National Theater, Kennedy
Center, Strathmore, and Theater J;
- world and local travel, including the Baltics, Jewish Italy
and historical Jewish Washington, DC and Baltimore;
- local DC events, including movies, winery trips and art
museum tours;
- special events, such as our summertime Havdalah & Dinner
program and "Meet the Press" Sunday bagel discussions;
- service for the Temple, including ushering at Shirei Shabbat
Services;
- community service, including WHC Mitzvah Day and our special
charity, N Street Village in DC;
- special dinners at WHC, such as pre-Selichot,
break-the-fast, and second night Seder;
- Shabbat Dinners in members' homes where we can join
together.
