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 Membership@falmouthnewcomers.org.

There is truly no place like Falmouth. I’m thrilled to begin another wonderful year with Newcomers and all that it has to offer. Our socials provide a fun afternoon or evening of entertainment to enjoy with your Newcomers friends.

As the Socials VP, my mission is to create events that offer Something for Everyone. That means a variety of socials for everyone to enjoy. This year we have 10 social events planned. Some of them will be the tried-and-true favorites – like the Island Queen sunset cruise, the holiday luncheon at Pocasset Golf Club, and the lobster and clambake at the Cape Cod Winery. We’re also adding a few new socials – like the harvest hoedown BBQ & line dance at Coonamessett Farm and the ski après murder mystery at Autocamp. 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 for both husbands and wives to join. The best part of our social events is creating an environment where our members can truly connect and make lasting memories. With fun activities, beautiful venues, and delicious food, we have a great lineup this year. In fact, we have Something for Everyone..

The Newcomers club is such a welcoming community. Joni Metras and I invite you to join us for one or more of this year's social events. They are guaranteed to be a good time!

Warmest regards,
Cathi Ingersoll
Socials Vice President

Hello Newcomers,
September is here, bringing with it one of our favorite times of year on Cape Cod— “Second Summer.” The beaches are less crowded, the sky seems a little bluer, the water is still warm and inviting, and there’s just a hint of crispness in the air. September also brings a fresh burst of energy to Falmouth Newcomers, with beloved traditions returning, new opportunities to explore, and plenty of ways to connect, have fun, and enjoy this special time of year together.

One event we always look forward to is our annual sunset cruise aboard the Island Queen. There are still a few days to sign up and join your fellow Newcomers for an evening cruise around Vineyard Sound—with the Island Queen all to ourselves! Registration closes September 9, so check out the Socials section for all the details. And while you’re there, take a look at a brand-new event—the Harvest Hoedown! Robin and I have already bought our tickets. I plan to dust off the cowboy hat I bought on my trip to Nashville, and we’re both
ready to kick up our heels. Grab some friends, pull out your boots, and join the fun!

September also marks the return of our monthly programs, held on the second Thursday of each month. We’re kicking things off on September 10 with the always-popular Activities Fair. Come meet the leaders of more than 60 activities and discover all the ways to get involved. You might reconnect with an old favorite—or stumble upon something you never imagined trying! For many of us, activities are where acquaintances become friends and some of our favorite Newcomers' memories are made.

And that’s just a taste of what’s happening! Take a look through the pages that follow for more activities, events, and opportunities to get involved. Whether you try something new, return to an old favorite, or simply come out and enjoy the company, we hope you’ll make the most of all that Newcomers has to offer
this fall.

We can’t wait to see you out and about!
Warmly,
Robin Hodor, Co-President
Tiffany Persechini, Co-President

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.
