Who Can Join?
The purpose of our club is to assist newcomers to the Oceanside area in meeting new people and forming friendships with those that have “like interests” whether it be golf, book club or the walking group. We have no hard and fast rule, however it is generally believed that this is limited to those that have moved to the Oceanside area in the past 2 -3 years.
How Long Can I Be A Member?
Membership is limited to 2 years and can extend past 24 months depending on what month of the year that you join. Our Newcomer Year ends April 30 of each year. Normally we have approximately 400 members by the end of the year, however membership takes a sharp drop in May, as we have a great number of “grads”. Please send us an email via the Contact Page if you have questions regarding anything about membership.
Monthly Email & Membership List
Every month we send out an email approximately 48-72 hours prior to our monthly meeting to remind our members of the meeting. In this email we will also provide directions as to how to obtain an up to date membership list. If you are a Newcomer and have not received our email, please go to our Contact Page and select "membership" and send an email requesting to be placed on the email list.
Membership Fees
First Time: $15.00 ($10.00 + $5.00 for a name tag)
Renewals: May, June or July of each year ($10.00 per person)
Name Tags
If you have lost your name tag, new Newcomers‘ Name Tags are available for $5.00. You will be able to pick up your Name Tag at the next monthly Newcomers meeting. Please wear your Name Tag to all events and functions, including Interest Group get-togethers. In addition, your coffee or tea is free at the monthly meetings if you are wearing your name tag!
What Should You Bring To The Meeting?
