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 St. Patrick's Day,
    Well we've made it through the first two months of "hardly winter". I'm in the minority who loved the snow last year, but I don't mind at all the lack of cold this year. I'm just hoping that we don't have a late freeze that kills the plants that have already decided that February is spring.
    This newsletter is full of very important information. Donna Babbitt and her committee have worked very hard to update and clarify several issues in our Bylaws. Please read these changes and voice any questions or concerns before the vote to ratify at the March General Meeting. There are also changes coming for our Policy and Procedure. Many thanks to Donna, Grace Crocker, Margaret Fitzgerald, and Lois Salmons. The April meeting will be our election for next year's officers and the slate is terrific! Thanks to the nominating committee – Donna Babbitt, Emilie Knox, Patty Ulrich, and Sandee Gorham. And a big thank you to the ladies who have agreed to lead next year's fun!
    And speaking of fun – Connie's last social, our Valentine Party, was wonderful. There was wine, hors d'oevres, lots of chocolate, and prizes for games including the Newlywed Game. Our couples ranged in years-married from 8 to 51 and everyone had a great time.
    Thanks, too, to Nancy for a great Valentine luncheon with Huntsville's newest meteorologist and his wife, Jason and Lacy Simpson. He was a great speaker and we learned a lot about Tennessee Valley weather. Next month is our annual informative/ entertaining luncheon with George Bennett. If you haven't heard him previously or been to Bennett's Nursery on the North Parkway, you have missed a real treat!
