"My wife loves this club!"
Jim Annaconne
We offer women new to our city....
...friendship and entertainment.
...a variety of experiences to use your talents to flourish in your new city.
...the opportunity to be a part of a unique Mardi Gras Krewe, a famous New Orleans tradition.
A Brief History of the Newcomers Club of New Orleans
In 1947 a group of ladies called the New Orleans Hostess Service saw the need for an organization to welcome new people into the community, offer them friendship and entertainment, and provide them with the opportunity to use their talents and experiences to make a place for themselves in their new city.
This world grows smaller as technology allows us to stay in touch with friends and family around the world. But a move to a new city still means establishing new relationships and finding new activities to make a place for yourself in your new home and community.
We invite you to attend one of our monthly luncheons or coffees to learn more about the club and meet some of the members.
We have many activities that can help you and your family get more involved and meet other people who have also been "transplanted" to New Orleans. Some of these are: a book club, a gourmet club, a "lazy" gourmet group, a "Discover New Orleans" group and volunteer opportunities for other non-profit organizations. Or, if you have a favorite hobby or pastime, you can explore starting your own activity group with other members.
