You may have heard about New Neighbors … or
maybe this is all NEW to you … but in either case, you’re probably
wondering what it is we have to offer you. This is a thumbnail
sketch about our activities.
On the second Wednesday of the month, we hold our GENERAL MEETING
at 9:30 a.m. at Christ Church, 1025 Main St. at Cedar Ave. Here we
discuss the business of the club and sign up to participate in the various
monthly activities. We also have a PROGRAM. Programs deal with a
wide range of topics – from home decorating to skin care, from faux
painting to breast cancer. And a real plus – babysitting is provided on
site by licensed sitters at a very minimal cost.
There are two
BOOK BUFFS,
which meet once a month – one group meets in the morning, the other in the
evening. These book clubs cover a wide range of readings with some very
interesting discussions that are not limited to the book of the month.
BRIDGE
is available to players of all levels; couples meet one Saturday evening a
month. Ladies will meet one morning and one evening each month.
BUNCO
is a lively social event with a simple dice game thrown in for fun. Bunco
is scheduled one evening a month either as a couples or ladies-only
event. No skill is required, just luck. A $5 fee for the evening covers
the prizes.
Join the “girls” for our
monthly
CHICK
FLICKS
at a local
theater to see a “woman-oriented” movie followed by a drink, snack and
conversation at a nearby restaurant.
Several times
a year,
CHILDREN’S PARTIES
are planned for your children’s entertainment.
FAMILY EVENTS!
Bring your spouse and the kids for a day or evening of fun. This is a
great way for members of your family to meet other new neighbors as
well. Events are held 2-3 times a year.
One of our most popular
activities,
FRIENDS
FOR LUNCH,
is a terrific way to try out your favorite recipes on a willing lunchtime
crowd who gather every month in a member’s home bringing a dish or drink
to share. What a feast!
GOLF
– Come and enjoy a relaxed, non-competitive morning of golf with new
friends. We offer lessons, weekly women’s leagues and a few couples’
tournaments.
Another opportunity for
you and your spouse to have a great meal and meet other couples is
GOURMET CHEFS.
Held bi-monthly at different member’s homes, couples prepare dishes for a
themed menu. Members need not be accomplished gourmets, just willing to
try new recipes!
HAPPY HOUR is a casual social gathering held at a different members's home throughout the year, usually on a Saturday night. Everyone brings the beverages of their choice and either an appetizer or dessert to share with attending. It is a great casual way to meet new members and couples and socialize with existing friends.
INVESTMENT CLUB - After spending some time socializing, we will discuss our present
portfolio and consider future investments for our club.
MAH JONGG – A popular morning group that meets regularly to play this ancient
Chinese game played with tiles instead of cards. The game is open to all
… new players as well as Mah Jongg Mavens!
Moms! This is for you
and your little ones …
PLAYGROUP!
We plan weekly meetings (Wed & Thrs mornings and Tuesday afternoons) for Moms and toddlers. The jury is still
out on who enjoys it more … the moms or the little ones!

in order with
SCRAPBOOKING
– meet monthly at a member’s home and learn all the techniques from each
other.
Want to spend some time
working on stitching or other projects in a casual atmosphere? Bring
your projects and join us at
STITCH
AND CHATTER.
Groups meet mornings or evenings; members take turns hosting. You
don’t need to be an expert – the abilities and types of projects are as
varied as the women who attend.
TENNIS
-- An occasional round robin or regular meeting time allows you to meet
other new neighbors with the same “LOVE” of the game. Weather limits
year-round play.
Broaden your horizons
and learn about your new state and surrounding New England by joining
TOURS
for a day trip to places of interest. Post tour, we will explore local
restaurants with the group and still get home in time to meet the school
bus.
Do you have a useful item
to sell or trade? Are you looking for a bargain? Check out the
TRADING POST
to see what is available or to advertise your item. Members can also post
information on their personal business or service here.
Escape with us once a
month to a member’s home for an enjoyable evening of conversation. WEEKNIGHT ESCAPE
… sounds good, doesn’t it?
WINE ENTUSIASTS - Wine Enthusiasts will meet bi-monthly for fun, casual wine tastings and food pairings.
As you can see – there’s something for everyone! Join us, have fun, and
most importantly, meet and make new friends!
