Upcoming Dates to Remember....Please Note: There will be no May 2020 Meeting/Social.
Email (May 16, 2020) from the President of the Barnstable Newcomers Club regarding Nomination of Officers: Fellow Newcomers. First of all I hope everyone is safe and healthy. As more people feel the need to go back to work before the pandemic has abated we need to protect ourselves and loved ones more than ever. That is not a political statement just a fact. As you know our meetings since November have been cancelled and as a result our annual election of officers for the coming year did not occur. Let's start with nominations. Please note: 1) It is important that new ideas are explored to keep the club vital. We encourage others to step forward especially newer members. 2) Since I have been a Newcomer, the office of Vice President has gone unfilled. This position had been thought of as the stepping stone to the presidency. A "next in line" responsibility has been attached to it. I would like to encourage anyone who would like to be more involved with the club but does not feel ready to be the next president to step forward. 3) We have never had to consider a pandemic before and will change the club bylaws to allow meetings and voting to be held remotely when circumstances require it. Please let Steven Briggs know of your interest to help by being an officer of our Club, or with your nomination of fellow Club members: (Email Steven directly at biff888@comcast.net) The Officer positions are: President:_______________________________________ Vice President:___________________________________ Secretary:_______________________________________ Treasurer:_______________________________________ Email (April 22, 2020) from the President of the Barnstable Newcomers Club regarding Coronavirus: Fellow Newcomers, Covid 19 infections continue to infect a significant number of new cases and deaths every day. Governor Baker’s directive banning nonessential public gatherings continues to disrupt Barnstable Newcomers activities. Our March and April meetings, the annual Alberto’s dine out and other group functions were suspended. It is very unlikely that we will meet in May. The officers and the advisory council will be in discussion about how to proceed as the pandemic is under better control. In the meantime stay safe and help those who need assistance. Maintain social distancing, wash your hands and wear your mask in public.

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!
