Due to Tropical Storm Helene, all Affinity Groups are currently on hold.
Affinity Groups are self-directed groups that focus on a particular hobby/activity or commonality that are aligned with Unity’s mission and vision. As these groups are a part of Unity of The Blue Ridge, they are formally organized by the Unity staff.
We affirm our Affinity Groups will be enriching, vibrant and fun!
Sign up for any or all today.
