When it’s your turn to plan your group’s activity for the month, don’t panic. To help you plan an activity, we have accumulated many ideas as suggestions. Most of the items contained in these pages have been recommended by previous Newcomer Activity Groups.

The Newcomer Club offers various special interest groups -- ranging from games and cards to dinner groups and hobbies -- that attract people with similar interests. Most groups meet on a monthly basis, or as determined by the group.

Joining an activity group is one of the best ways to meet new people and learn about this beautiful area. Groups are made up of 12 couples that meet at least once a month.

To help you investigate other community and civic organizations, the list is broken down by Arts, Athletics, Education, Environment, Government and Miscellaneous.
