Welcome to the Greater Lexington Newcomers Club Website.

Begun in 1993, our club consists of people who, when they joined, were new to Lexington, Buena Vista, or Rockbridge County. Currently, the club has more than 170 family memberships totaling over 300 people. This club was formed to provide people the opportunity to get to know others in the community and to facilitate getting to know one another through participation in many small and larger group gatherings. While many mambers are relatively new to the area, others have belonged to the Club since it was founded. Members are eager to share infomration, whether it is a review of the newest restaurant in town, the best place to bord a pet, or the trials of building a new home.

Our interests are many as you will see through viewing the pages on this website. Members participate in card groups, book groups, scrabble, hiking, sewing, wine and dining groups to name a few of the many activites provided by the Club. Overnight and monthly day trips are organized to familiarize our members with what the area has to offer. If there are particular interests not already on our list of activities, members are encouraged to create a new group.

Membership requirements are listed on the Membership Page. Monthly meetings are held at the Lexington Golf and Country Club at 141 Country Club Road, Lexington, VA at 10 AM the first Wednesday of each month excluding December and August. Meetings include a brief social gathering before a business meeting providing an opportunity for fellowship and fun. You are not required to attend the monthly meeting to enjoy our social activities.

A membership directory is published each year in October and a monthly newsletter is provided to all members through email or snail mail to keep members informed on current activities.

For more information, send us an email and we will have our Membership Committee get in touch with you to provide details about our activities and interest groups or to answer any questions you may have about the Newcomers Club.
