WARM is an acronym for Windward Area Retired Men. WARM meets 8:00 AM every Monday for breakfast at Alpharetta Presbyterian Church fellowship hall (map at bottom of page). A full breakfast is served by a professional chef who knows his way around a commercial kitchen. Although there are about seventy-five active members on the WARM membership role, about 35 to 40 members attend on any given Monday. Following breakfast we often have visiting speakers from organizations, businesses, news media, the City of Alpharetta and the sports world. Our own members have interesting information and experiences to share with the group as well.
