Upcoming Dates to Remember....Thanks to everyone who participated in the Socials, Activities, and Events of the Fall 2019 season, which concluded with a well attended Holiday Reception at the West End restaurant in Hyannis on December 8, and which was a great opportunity to meet other members in a different setting.
Please Note: New Email (March 19, 2020) from the President of the Barnstable Newcomers Club regarding Coronavirus: Fellow Newcomers, I don't think I need to tell anyone to take this seriously. I am and I know you are too. Public gatherings are being restricted not just locally but all over Massachusetts (thank you Charlie Baker for decisive action) and most recently all over the country. Restaurants, bars, schools, day care, and non-essential gatherings are not allowed. Essential meetings are being held remotely where possible. Even our bowlers are feeling the pinch. I do not think it is wise for any of our activities to continue until the pandemic passes. There are some great websites with the latest information including, but not limited to: https://barnstablehealth.com/ https://town.barnstable.ma.us/ https://www.mass.gov/resource/information-on-the-outbreak-of-coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Don't panic, stay safe, and hopefully this will pass before too long. Charlie Csroczynski Please Note: Cancellation of the March 18 Meeting, and Cancellation of the April 8 Dine-Out.
Email from the President of the Barnstable Newcomers Club. In the interest of safety, I am postponing our March meeting. We have a number of members with a high risk for the virus and I do not want to jeopardize their safety. It took a large amount of thought to make this decision. A good number of you are in favor of meeting and I strongly considered doing so. There are also a good number urging caution and I believe caution is the most responsible way forward. As time continues we will have more information on which to base these decisions. I hope we will continue to find no cases of Corona on Cape Cod and can meet again in the near future. After talking with Ron Lyons we have likewise decided to postpone the Newcomers Dine-out on April 8th at Alberto's Ristorante. I regret taking these actions but we must put the welfare of the membership first. At this point no cases of the virus have been noted on Cape Cod but we continue to hear about some that originated at Boston's Biogen conference. We will reevaluate this decision before our next scheduled meeting on April 15th. |
Program MeetingsSix times a year, the Club sponsors an evening coffee and dessert social gathering at 7:00PM, accompanied by an update on Club Activities, and a speaker. The focus of each speaker is to help us learn more about the Town of Barnstable and our Cape Cod, or provide entertainment. All members are encouraged to come and spend some social time with other Club members. This is a great opportunity for new or prospective members to learn more about the Club, sign-up for ongoing Activities, and meet people. It's a friendly group!
