Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives. The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years.  Admission: $10, $8 MAC Members, $5 Students.  Thursday, June 6th “Pay what you can” donations.
