Newcomers of San Antonio

News from the President

Hello November! As the smell of pumpkin spice and cinnamon fill the air, November is the perfect month to reflect on the year and give thanks for all of the wonderful blessings we have. Veterans Day is just around the corner on November 11, so be on the lookout for various events throughout Military City USA to honor the men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces who protect and keep us safe. 

November has a full month of fun Newcomers activities to enjoy! Our directories are out, so if you haven’t gotten yours at a coffee or luncheon, reach out to Cindy Richards to get yours. There is also an online version on our website, NewcomersofSanAntonio.org in the Members Corner with the password Welcome1819.

It is exciting to let you know that we have three new Interest Groups. Carol Palazzo is resurrecting Lunch Ladies now known as Lunch Bunch! We are so happy to have this back as we have missed it so much! Carol is also hosting a new group on Genealogy. Kay Hedeen has started another group called Puzzlers! For all jigsaw lovers. Please refer to the eblast sent out last week for details or elsewhere in this newsletter. We are still in need of a leader for Soldiers Angels. This is such a worthwhile group, I would hate to see it disappear. They are not meeting in person at this time but there are important messages that need to be forwarded to the group. Please step up and take over this great group!

More members are coming out to the coffees and luncheons as the quarantine is getting longer! We hope to see you there, if you are not in a high risk group!

November is also the month of Thanksgiving. We hope you enjoy seeing your extended family and friends!

And don’t forget to vote!

Since we are in the dog days of summer, we can at least stay cool inside even if we can’t venture too far outside.

I am delighted with the new 2020-2021 Board. We have already begun the work of leading our organization. To get to know them better, their biographies can be found in this newsletter. Let anyone of us know if you have questions or suggestions. We are always open to new ideas, especially for new Interest Groups.

At this time, we are looking for new leaders for Community Involvement, our very worthwhile charitable contribution, Girlfriends one of the more well-attended groups, and Chicks and Flicks. If you are interested in stepping up to take over either of these groups, contact Marcia Blalock, crusaway@yahoo.com.

For those of you who are ready to get out and do something, our August coffee will be at Kay Hedeen’s lovely home on August 13. All safety precautions will be in place so it will be a safe place to catch up with old friends. Attendance, of course, is voluntary.

Another opportunity, again only for those of you ready to get out, will be our monthly luncheon on September 3rd at Luce Ristorante e Enoteca with wonderfully delicious Italian food. There will be no Interest Group tables, but the annual printed directory will be distributed. Again, all safety precautions will be in place.

Stay safe and keep cool!
