We enjoyed a great talk at September Meeting. James Little, from CT Forest and Park Association, spoke to us about the Blue-Blazed Hiking Trail System in CT. Visit their new website for lots of information and get outside in this beautiful fall weather!

Our FIRST fundraiser will be Dream Dinners at the West Hartford store. It will run 10/15 - 11/15. For those who are not familiar, it is a place where you go & prepare meals to store in your freezer for quick meal prep. Go to www.dreamdinners.com; select menus and sessions, then dinners and sessions, then choose West Hartford, CT. Then select the OCT menu & pick a date (10/15 or later). After you choose your menu & move to pay, there will be a section to add comments. Type in "Granby Newcomers Group." We will receive $10 for every person who completes a session of 36-71 servings, & $20 for every session over 72 servings. The NOV. menu is different, so you can choose to do one or the other, or both. And bring friends!

welcome The Granby Newcomers and Neighbors Club was established in 1970 for the purpose of welcoming new people to the community in a warm and friendly manner. Since that time, the group has expanded to include “established” as well as new women of Granby and the surrounding area. It has helped to increase the resources that are available around town. Social activities are available to members’ spouses and children.

Membership meetings are usually held the second Thursday of each month during the school year (the club is off in June, July and August). Membership dues are $25 annually. Anyone interested in joining the Club may attend two meetings to become informed about the club without being charged dues; however, dues must be paid for continued participation after those two meetings. Join anytime of the year (dues are pro-rated to reflect your join date).

Granby Newcomers is a social organization for women that is heavily dependent upon its members for success. The more effort members put into the Club, the more benefits everyone can reap from it. The Club is non-profit and annually donates proceeds from its fundraisers to various Granby organizations. Please join us for lots of fun — it’s a great way to meet others in the community!
