Women of the World has set a new schedule for the upcoming year.
Women of the World (WOW) is a group of international women, including Americans, who gather once a month at the Church of Universal Fellowship, 12 noon, 82 Main Street in Orono, to share their cultural heritages. WOW members include women from all continents, and of all ages. This includes American women! Young children are welcome to come with their mothers.
There is no membership fee to join WOW but to help defray meal preparation expenses and facility rental, there is a fee for attending the monthly lunch: children under 6: no cost to attend with their mother, children 6-10, $2.00, all others, $5.00.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
You can read more here about our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is also found on our FAQs.
