Does anyone belong to NON-CD organizations or clubs?

Some people are compulsive gamblers. Some are compulsive drinkers. I am a compulsive joiner. I love to join clubs, and participate in organizations. I joined MENSA, and I participate in other service clubs. I want to start a club to support the arts in my community.

Do any of you belong to clubs and organizations, that are outside of the CD sphere? If so, which clubs, and why? I am interested.

At one time I belonged to a model railroad club and also a hiking club. It was because I liked model railroads and hiking. Also I belong to a couple of rehearsal bands (a club of musicians who play together but don't get many gigs)

I wouldn't call church a club but I belong because I think it helps my spiritual life.

I belong to a couple of clubs, one for woodturners and one for woodcarvers.

Members of both clubs teach others, and especially kids, to keep interest in these wood crafts alive.

I belong to a couple of model building orginizations, not individual clubs per se, as there seems to be not much interest in the hobby locally. Also I am a confirmed and life long Grognard, and play actual, hands-on, 3D combat simulations games with several people in my area. Guess I just can't give up playing with my toy soldiers, LOL. (not to be confused with on-line computer games played over the net.)

How about that? I am a "HAM", and I have belonged to many different Ham radio clubs. I am currently away from home on a work contract, so I am not QRV. Ham radio is dying, all of the kids who used to build radio sets, are all keyboarding!!

CherylM........believe or not but it seems to be growing in the Dallas area. Our club alone has gone so much in the last year that we now need to find a new place to meet. We had people standing at the last meeting.
We try and do at least two license classes a year.

I am a member of a couple of local Goth 'cultural' organizations (SK Goth Club, Saskatoon Gothic Society) and PAVED Media Arts, a local non-commercial media production collective. Also World Transhumanist Organization (techno-progressive political activist group). Online clubs/orgs, seriously, I've lost count.
