Newcomers enjoy many fun activities, but there is always room for more...

As 2019 unfolds, look for lots of opportunities to connect with your fellow Newcomers members at our luncheons, activities, and new and exciting excursions.  The Coffee Connection, usually the fourth Thursday of each month, is a great opportunity to see old friends and make new ones.  Our Wine and Apps get togethers are always a success, and we have several openings for hosts this coming year.  There are also groups that meet for meals, book clubs, groups that play games such as Bridge, Bunco, and Mah Jongg, and a group that meets to walk and get some exercise.  Check our website to stay up to date with activities and events, and to see pictures of the latest happenings.  If you have a suggestion for a new activity and are willing to help organize, be sure to contact Lockey Rodden, Activities Director. I hope to see all of you at various upcoming events.

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!  See you soon.
