Following the program is “Stay for Play,” a time to play board and card games such as Dominoes, Rummicube, chess, Scrabble etc. E-Streeters Fellowship is partnered with Raleigh Parks and Recreation “Golden Agers” club.
  • The fellowship group is open to the community. E-Streeters' mission is to meet as a group for fellowship, fun, food, education, and service.  The lunch costs $6. Offsite trips may have a nominal charge for transportation and a ticket fee for the event.
  • E-Streeters has off-site events planned each month, in addition to the regular luncheon meeting.  Events are advertised in The Communicator, church worship bulletin, and event calendar.
