Welcome to Calaveras Neighbors and Newcomers!

Meet people, make new friends, and learn more about the community.

President’s Message

In early 2009, a group of ladies new to Calaveras County ventured forth to bring together other area newcomers with the purpose of meeting their neighbors and becoming acquainted with the activities and resources of Calaveras County.    This endeavor became a reality when on March 26th, 2009, the Calaveras Neighbors and Newcomers Club met for the first luncheon meeting with 38 charter members present.   Membership quickly grew to 62.

The Club is a social organization and membership is open to all local and newcomer women residing in Calaveras County and the surrounding areas regardless of how long she has resided in the county.  

Monthly luncheon meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of the month at local restaurants.    It’s a great way to sample the many fine establishments in the area.  Luncheon programs consist of guest speakers covering various topics, some of which have included the local wine industry, available social and emergency services, art, gardening, and the history of Calaveras County.

In addition to the monthly luncheon, many ladies become involved in one or more of our special interest groups, another way to foster new friendships.   Members also receive a monthly newsletter with important information on group activities, monthly luncheons, and upcoming community events.   

Come join in on the fun.  Check out the link above for information regarding how you too can become a member.
