Forty-one years ago our organization was established by four women who wanted to welcome new residents to the Alamo City. With over 250 members it is still our focus today. We all have times in our life when we especially need to find good friends, and Newcomers is a great way to meet people and share your time and talents with others. Join us for our monthly coffees, luncheons, and over 30 Interest Groups that meet regularly—there is no shortage of ways to be involved! We encourage you to start a new interest group if we do not offer something you have a passion for. We are always looking for people who want to jump in! We hope you will join us for the activities and stay for the friendships. We want Newcomers of San Antonio to be just the support system you need as you make San Antonio your home, or as your life has taken a new turn. I feel very fortunate to be president of an organization that is dedicated to helping our community members “bloom where they are planted.” We look forward to seeing you soon at one of our next functions!
