Hello. It is my pleasure to serve on the Board as Vice President for Membership. Falmouth Newcomers is a social club of over 500 Falmouth residents who enjoy meeting fellow residents who are new to the area or who have had a life-changing event. We provide an opportunity to learn about the community and participate in enriching activities, social events, and programs. We have over 60 activities including biking, wine tasting, book clubs, current events, kayaking, dining in and out, field trips, golf, and scrapbooking to name just a few.

Membership is open to those who have lived in Falmouth for five years or less or have had a life- changing event such as change in marital status, death of spouse/partner, or retirement in the last five years. If you meet any of these requirements and would like to join us, please fill out the online application and release form.

We’d be happy to welcome you as a member of Falmouth Newcomers to meet new friends and adjust to your new surroundings while enjoying the many activities, socials, and programs. If you have any questions, please contact me at FNC.VPMembership@gmail.com.

Are you looking for a fun afternoon or evening of entertainment, to socialize with friends, and meet new people? The Falmouth Newcomers Club offers a variety of social events throughout the year that offer just that.

Our social events provide an opportunity to make new friends and build upon friendships that you’ll make at Newcomers. You’ll also learn about all the wonderful activities that are available right here in Falmouth or nearby. And, our socials offer a chance to enjoy an afternoon or evening of fun and entertainment.

We plan several types of social events to appeal to a variety of interests. This year, we are planning nine socials! We’ll root for our home baseball team, the Falmouth Commodores, enjoy our beautiful coastline with cruises around Falmouth, celebrate the seasons with various holiday events, participate in a Falmouth-style Cape Cod clambake, play games of chance at a casino night, sing karaoke at a Hot August Night BBQ, and more. We’re always looking for new ideas from our members regarding what types of social events they would enjoy.

Socials are open to all Falmouth Newcomers members (and often to their guests and Encore members). Many of our social costs are subsidized for Newcomer members so it pays to have both husband and wife join.

Cathi and I are pleased to be the Socials contacts for Falmouth Newcomers! We hope you will become a member and attend many, if not all, of the socials that we offer. They are guaranteed to be loads of fun!

Thank you,
Terri Sachs VP Socials
Cathi Ingersoll AVP Socials

Happy New Year, Everyone!
I hope your holidays were enjoyable, shared with family and friends. Maybe you enjoyed Holidays by the Sea right here in Falmouth! I hope you joined in on some of the festivities this great community had to offer during the Holiday Season. Falmouth does a wonderful job! Perhaps you enjoyed the Open House at Nobska Light, or joined the carolers in Woods Hole, or watched Santa land at the Heights Beach! Did anyone catch the Holiday Parade on Sunday or stroll Main Street visiting our local establishments? Many great community activities for young and old!

Over eighty people attended our Holiday Luncheon at Pocasset Golf Club. We collected donations totaling over $550 which were presented to the Falmouth Service Center – thank you all for your generosity. What a beautiful setting, relaxing string quartet music, incredible food, and the best of friendships celebrating the season together! Our thanks to Terri Sachs and Cathi Ingersoll for organizing this enjoyable Holiday event.

Looking ahead, check the bio for our speaker, Dr. Mark Baumgartner of WHOI. He will discuss the plight of the endangered Right Whales off our coast at our program on January 15th at 9:30am.

Mark your calendars for a fun night in February at Timber Axe Bar & Bowl – a great socializing opportunity!
Suggested New Year’s Resolution– enjoy more Newcomers’ Socials, Programs, and Activities!

Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and healthy New Year!

The Newcomers Club of Falmouth offers monthly programs running from September through June featuring Falmouth luminaries, authors and others talking about topics of interest that our membership has been asking for. The monthly programs are also great place to make friends in our time together before and after each program.

This year’s speakers’ series Falmouth: Under the Hood will be offering in-depth conversations with the people making Falmouth’s history today. Falmouth is home to many unique personalities that are making our town a special place to live and work and who can offer fascinating perspectives on Falmouth’s history, government, arts, and culture. This year we will be in conversation with many of them learning about their contributions, and even more, engaging with them about what brought them to Falmouth, and the defining moments in their lives that catapulted them forward. Perhaps we can even learn what their vision of the future is for our charming town.

Falmouth: Under the Hood programs are offered the second Thursday of each month. Of course, they begin with food and convo and end with new and renewed friendships. The exact meeting times of our programs may vary each month.
