Welcome to the Newcomers Club of Greater Huntsville. We are a friendly, vibrant, fun-loving organization. Most of us are Huntsville or Madison residents, but we have members from as far west as Athens and as far north as the Tennessee border. The club offers you an opportunity to make lasting friendships while learning about northern Alabama. There is at least one activity every week — anything from casual luncheon potlucks to all-day bridge sessions to area tours.

The Newcomers Club is non-sectarian, non-political, and non-commercial. If you have moved to the area within the last three years, you are eligible to join.

Happy Valentine's Day,
    It's hard to believe that we have already reached the second month of 2012. I have just gotten the last Christmas decorations put away and all the family's sheets and towels washed. I did procrastinate about taking down the tree. I always find the house empty without it, and this year we even cut it down at our neighbor's tree farm, making it long-lasting and even more special. We did have a wonderful week with family and hope you did too.
    Be sure to check this newsletter for details on our Valentine Social on the 11th. Connie has a fun evening planned with wine, (non-alcoholic drinks too), hors d'oeuvres, dessert, and surprises. Our socials are always a great way to get to know each other.
    Our luncheon-meeting this month falls right on Valentine's Day so Nancy suggested that we open reservations to husbands/boyfriends/guests. She has even made it more special by offering two meal choices and a cash bar. Kudos to Nancy for the terrific job she has done after her co-chair, Janet McClintic, landed a full-time job. It has been more than she originally agreed to and she has gracefully risen to the occasion.
    We have had our usual great group of ladies as officers and committee members this year and it is time to start looking forward to our 2012-2013 year. Donna & I are forming a nominating committee to recommend next year's officers. If you are asked to serve as an officer, please consider it favorably. It's a chance to work closely with other ladies and every position receives wonderful support from the rest of the Club.
Enjoy life and be careful out there,
Katherine
