October Announcements

Message from the 2nd Vice- President

Hope you have all had a wonderful summer, I know I have. I survived 2 months of taxiing children and entertaining or visiting friends and family and now its time for me! Newcomers organize a number of special interest groups each year, offering the opportunity to socialize and make new friends in a small, relaxed environment while pursuing your individual interests or developing new ones. Since moving here 2 years ago, I have taken up tennis for the first time; played a little golf; hiked much of the Avalon; read/discussed many books (good and bad); enjoyed couples dinners, preparing and sharing various ethnic cuisines; met new friends for lunch and/ or for a movie night, learned the infamous game of Pokeeno and so much more…….all because I joined Newcomers and got involved! I welcome you to come up with ideas for and/or offers to lead new interest groups at any time during the year. Sign up sheets will be available at all of our social meetings So look for them or call me, just make sure You get involved. Mary-Ellen, 2nd VP .

The guest speaker for our October Social is from the Canadian Cancer Society. This Society is a national, community-based organization of volunteers, whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. The Newcomers Club participates in many of the Cancer Societies’ activities with volunteers and participation in their events. In the last year we took part in the Relay for Life, the Festival of Trees and the Daffodil campaign; all great events that were organized by the local Cancer society.
