Barcrofters | Newcomers' Club | Woman's Club | GLOB – Gays & Lesbians of Barcroft

Lake Barcroft has a unique way of welcoming its new residents -- the Newcomers' Club. The club is a diverse, casual and fun group. It is a great way to make new friends, get to know the neighborhood and community, and participate in Lake Barcroft activities and social events. Membership is open to all Lake Barcroft residents, whether you've been here for a month, a year or a decade.

The Newcomers' Club holds monthly social events. Most popular of all is the annual "Barge Party," where we have cocktails and appetizers while touring the lake on party barges, and then enjoy a lake-side barbeque. The rest of year includes events such as a Chili Cookoff/ Super Bowl party, a St. Patrick's Day party, dinner out on the town, and holiday gift exchange - just to name a few. And yes, there are child friendly events as well, including the Fourth of July Fireworks and Labor Day games. All of these events provide a forum for members to make friends and to share a wealth of information on everything from shopping, plumbers, dentists, pediatricians and contractors to great restaurants, babysitters and local entertainment.

The Newcomers' Club provides a wonderful opportunity for both old and new Lake Barcroft residents to get involved in the community. Volunteers are needed to participate on the Newcomers Board, plan or host a party, or help with an event including the Fourth of July fireworks display and Labor Day Games.

For a directory of current Board members, see the latest Newcomer newsletter. For this year's planned events, see the newsletter or Community Calendar.
