WELCOME TO MINNESOTA

The members of the Newcomers Club of the Southwest Suburbs (of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) welcome you. ‘Newcomers’ is a great way to meet new friends, get acquainted with the community, and enjoy many activities and special interest groups. For those who have recently relocated into the area, the Club provides an excellent way to make your transition easier and more fun. And even if you've lived here a while but now find you need to make some new friends, you are welcome too!

This social and civic non-profit women’s organization meets monthly as a club and also in small groups. There are social activities for all and occasionally an event for men only.

WELCOME COFFEE EVERY 4th THURSDAY

On the 4th THURSDAY of each month we get together at the DUNN BROS. COFFEE shop in Eden Prairie for coffee and talk. Come meet the gals. See us first and we'll buy your first cup of coffee. Just look for the 'Newcomers' sign with the pineapple on it. No need to RSVP.

WHAT WE ARE NOT

We are not a club for dating or for employment networking. We do not "dress to impress". We do not judge others for what they have or do not have. We do not tolerate those who join the club simply to get access to our Membership Directory, or attempt to convert us to their religion or political views. We gladly help each other out but are not anytime babysitters or guaranteed buyers of what you are selling. We do not hold grudges.

Please explore this site and if you like what you see, contact us via the 'Contact Us - Prospective Members' link. All interested parties are invited to attend two Newcomer events before joining.

Come join us at lunch!
