Groups & Monthly Activities

The Southbury Newcomers & Neighbors Club has Activities and Social Events to meet everyone’s interests. Each group is open for all to join and have fun. If you have a special interest in forming a new activity, please let Toni know. Also, we will be hosting special events and parties throughout the year, so look for eVites. Look on the Calendar page or the home page for specific dates and locations for these groups:

Coffee Chat: This late morning social group will meet on the first Tuesday of the month for friendly chatter and relaxation. Moms and little ones welcome!

New Member Coffee/Tea: These will be held throughout the year based on new membership – please consider attending if you have recently joined, or even if you haven’t been to many functions. It will give you an opportunity to meet your fellow club mates!

Sunshine Club: This group was created in an effort to support SNNC members who might be experiencing unusually stressful or celebratory experiences. If you have an interest in this club or a suggestion for a member, please contact Lauren, sunshine@southburynewcomers.org.

Lunch Bunch and Lunching In: These variations on a lunch group include one group who goes to various restaurants to sample local fare and another group who meets for potluck at members’ homes. The Lunch Bunch will be held on the 4th Thursday of each month, and Lunching In will be held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.  lunch@southburynewcomers.org

Book Club: This women’s group will meet the 3rd Thursday evening of every month to discuss and dissect fun fiction titles. We’ll have a few snacks and drinks to keep the discussion lively. Books will be announced one to 3 months in advance. We’ll be meeting in various homes and local gathering places. Contact Bonnie to join. book@southburynewcomers.org

Girls Night Out:  Each 2nd Thursday of the month we will host an evening out on the town. We’ve had Pamper-yourself nights, jewelry making night, cocktail nights, psychic readings and food tasting. These are all casual attempts to get out and meet new people and have fun! Look for eVite. girlsnight@southburynewcomers.org

Wine Tastings: Come and meet your neighbors and sample a variety of local and imported wines with food pairing. Look for an eVite for the event or Contact Jennifer at wine@southburynewcomers.org

Night out at the Movies: If you are interested in movies and a fun evening out -- please join us for movie night. We meet the first Tuesday of the month, and usually the group car pools or meets at a restaurant close to the theatre to have a cocktail or bite to eat. Then we head off to see a new film of interest. If you are interested in joining us for movie night, look for eVite or contact Michele at movie@southburynewcomers.org.

Couples Night Out: Leave the kids at home for this one and bring your sweetheart (singles welcome as well) out to one of our lovely monthly couple’s functions to be held on the 1st Saturday of each month. These nights will be variations of parties, game nights, wine tastings, and anything else we can come up with! (There will be occasional dates when there is a conflicting holiday - please refer to the eVites for official invitations.  couples@southburynewcomers.org

Walking Women: This group meets weekly - weather permitting, to experience the outdoors in a low to moderated degree of exertion. Call Terry for more details 267-1010

Holiday Cookie Swap: Take some of the hard work out of the holidays with this fantastic variation on holiday baking! Look for the eVite soon!

Hiking or walking: There are so many trails to discover in Southbury. If you have children, this is a good way to introduce them to the natural beauty of this town. If you have dogs, this is a great way to provide exercise time. Saturdays or Sundays seem to work well.  Please contact Julie for more information.
