Newcomers Club gives individuals and their families
relocating to the Rochester area an avenue to meet new friends and discover
all that Rochester has to offer.
We also welcome members who have experienced recent
change in their lives such as retirement, change in marital status or the
arrival of a new baby.
Since many of us have either recently moved to the area
or had a change in the circumstances of our lives, we’re a great resource
for others in these circumstances. We’ll gladly help to make your
transition a bit easier.
As a social group, we provide a focused way to
meet people to share experiences and local activities. We offer a wide
array of activities to ensure there’s something of interest for everyone.
We sponsor activities, but also routinely promote
activities organized by other groups when we feel they'll be of interest to
our membership. We try to offer a variety of activities to meet varied
interests, but if we don’t have one you find enticing, we’ll be happy to
help you form one that does.
The Newcomers website supports everything we do. We
use it to communicate our activities, link to other websites in Rochester
that can support your transition, and publicize “happenings around town” on
our “May We Recommend” page.
So, if you are interested in meeting new friends and
finding interesting things to do, check us out.
Join now and let the fun begin!

President, Newcomers of Greater Rochester |
We're a not-for-profit social club providing a friendly
atmosphere and a wide variety of member-run activities so you can meet new
friends and get adjusted to a new place or a new time in your life. We'll
also help you learn about local charitable and civic causes by communicating
activities and events that are of special interest to our members.
Coffee Event
All potential, new and old-time members are invited to the Bagel
Bin Cafe, 12 Corners in Brighton, (2600 Elwood Avenue), at 10am on the third Tuesday

This picture looked perfect
for our February Picture of the Month and Ted Gough, a local
photographer who does great work graciously allowed us to use it for our
February website. (Obviously, do not copy or distribute it to
anyone) "This little squirrel gave me quite a show that day during
a blizzard up in Webster Park right on Lake Ontario", he emailed back.
The squirrel and more of Ted's work can be found at
www.willowpix.com with about forty other of his more
"generic" stock images. He also has many photographs and digital images
- many of them very much Rochester-area focused - at his personal web
site -
