A message from our President:It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself, Danica Thompson, as your newly appointed President for the Seacoast Newcomers Club. My journey with our club began with a simple invitation to a luncheon, which soon led to my involvement running a game night as a Special Interest Group leader for Mexican Train. And now, accepting the role as your president. After several years of living in the Seacoast community, I joined Seacoast Newcomers Club unaware of the incredible depth of warmth, activities, and friendships that awaited me. I was embraced by the spirit of our club and have experienced firsthand the incredible sense of belonging that comes with being a part of the Seacoast Newcomers Club family of women. Seacoast Newcomers Club is a welcoming and inclusive environment for all members. As a military spouse who found herself frequently “dropped” into a new home with new surroundings, seeking camaraderie and support were key to my transition. When joining, I found a special community of welcoming connections, nurturing friendships and opportunities to create memorable experiences. It is with my heartfelt and warmest wishes that I welcome you. Together, let us continue to build on the foundation of camaraderie and support that make us the Seacoast Newcomers Club. -Danica Thompson
| We warmly invite you to experience the Seacoast! You can explore the Seacoast area with programs. Perhaps a guided tour of the Currier Museum of Art or the Pepperell House? Just this past year we enjoyed three luncheons at restaurants in Durham, North Hampton and Rye. We have eaten, read, kayaked, skied, golfed and most importantly laughed. Can’t find the thing you are looking for? Then Newcomers will support you in starting a new special interest group like the Knitting Connection and Mexican Train did just this year! One of the best things about Seacoast Newcomers Club is that you can be a member for unlimited years. There is no term limit and we all benefit from the continuity and connections of the women around us. Please sign up today or come to one of our monthly coffees as a guest and check us out. We would love to meet you!
