Westwood Newcomers Club Welcomes New Residents

The Westwood Newcomers Club was founded in 1994 to provide an opportunity for new residents of Westwood to get to know each other through informal social events sponsored by the club. We are now in our fourteenth year of existence and although our mission is still to help new residents of Westwood connect, we have become so much more! Many of the club’s members have been residents of Westwood for many years and still enjoy participating in our events and meeting new people. We have become a diverse group with a tremendous amount of information and knowledge to share.

The club plans and runs as many as four events each month. These events include family outings such as the fall hayride and pumpkin picking, hiking, holiday parties, spring egg hunts, ice skating and barn baby animals. There are also women’s events such as cooking classes, pottery painting, yoga, and centerpiece arranging. Couples’ events consist of monthly informal socials and our popular wine tasting event. We also organize ongoing book clubs and playgroups. Events are typically hosted by members, however, occasionally we do hold events at other venues.

Membership is open to all residents of Westwood. The club runs from September through June. Annual dues are $35 per family and are applied to the costs of the events we hold. Members receive a bi-annual newsletter and email updates.

The Newcomers Club is run by member volunteers and we are always looking for anyone interested in joining the team. The team meets about 1-2 times a year for planning purposes.
