Welcome!

We're glad you found us.

You'll find Newcomers & Friends to be a wonderful, welcoming group. Please explore our site and get to know us. 

I'm always amazed at the way our members love to step up and pitch in.

On September 8, our new group, Let's Get Crafty, will be making seasonal door hangers for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Lexington. See the Calendar for details.

On October 12, our volunteer/outreach activity will be the CROP Hunger Walk. The group will walk to help alleviate hunger here in Kentucky and around the world. The money we raise will provide food for the growing number of people, especially children, who go hungry and are unable to find basic sustenance. Visit our Calendar and click on the CROP Hunger walk to learn how you can participate. You don't have to walk — you can just donate to this worthwhile cause.

In our September eNews, you'll notice a link to take a survey. Volunteer/Outreach Director Anita Alford, along with Website Director Pam Carney, have designed a short, five-question survey to help us better understand members' interests and the types of volunteer activities that inspire them. Please take a minute to fill out the survey here. 

Don't forget to sign up for the Fall Potluck that takes place on September 10, at 11:30am at Shillito Park. It's a fun time and a great opportunity to enjoy a fabulous outdoor venue. Please register here. And thanks to Margaret King for organizing.

Sometimes I wonder who you are, dear reader. So I'm offering the first five club members who respond (not board members) who send me an email, presidentlexkynewcomersfriends@gmail.com, a lovely club pen.
