Songsters

There is a smaller group comprised of members of the SINGERS called The SONGSTERS This smaller group is our traveling team, our outreach to the community beyond the walls of Summerset.

If you are in need of musical entertainment please give us a call.

If you’d like to participate in a weekly get-together with people who genuinely like each other and who are blessed with a warm and talented director who helps us sing better we would love to have you come to one of our rehearsals and try us out. We gather in the Summerset III clubhouse every Sunday afternoon from 4-5:30 PM, and always go home with smiles on our faces.

If you are new to Summerset and looking for a way to meet new friends or you have lived here awhile and simply want to put on your dancing shoes and have some fun with your friends and neighbors  THE Club invites you to join us for one of the many events we hold each year.  We are a small team of Summerset 11 residents, who like you, moved to Summerset to enjoy life and meet new friends. If you like to get all dressed up to celebrate New Year’s Eve or dance to Bobby Pickett’s Monster Mash or you prefer something more low-key like sitting poolside listening to some sweet jazz or playing team trivia  THE Club offers something for everyone. All of our parties are listed in the monthly Summerset 11 Newsletter and if you have an idea or suggestion for more things to do we would love to hear from you. We meet the last Wednesday of every month at 11:00 in the Summerset ll library.

Garden Club

The Garden Club has been an active club since 2004. Shea Homes helped us disassemble our very old boxes and rebuilt new ones for us in 2023. We were very happy to be gardening again! Due to space limitations we have 18 raised garden beds which are 8’ x 8’ square. Each box is planted, maintained and harvested only by the person assigned to that box. Everyone enjoys tomatoes and a variety of other vegetables. One gardener grew a delicious watermelon last year! We see each other often at the garden and discuss new ideas, plantings, and socialize. Formal meetings are only organized once in a while. Happy Gardening everyone!

We meet every Thursday at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, 500 Fairview, Brentwood, from 5 PM to 6:15 PM. Meetings are open to all.
