Newcomer Nashville and Friends activities are designed for you to participate as much or as little as works for you. Try one or try them all!
Monthly Activities
Philanthropy - Since our founding, Newcomers Nashville and Friends have enjoyed working together for our community. For example, our volunteers have helped cook at a temporary home for cancer patients, box food at a food bank and collected underwear for public school children.. Recently, we have assisted foster children aging out of foster care, collected food for a needy small food bank and Worked with Cockrill Elementary School on various projects.
Lunch Ladies - This is the 3rd Thursday of each month. We try new restaurants and cuisine in and about Nashville. Please join us for lunch by contacting us through our email, NewcomersNashville@gmail.com.
Novel Newcomers - Our book club meets on the 4th Thursday of the month, in a member's home, to discuss the latest book, pick new titles and visit.
Wine Down - Once a month, we gather at a member's home for a drop in visit and a glass of wine or favorite beverage. This is a relaxed gathering. Just show up to visit and tell us about your day. BYOB and a snack to share if you have time. If not, your new friends will take care of you! Date varies.
Two-by-Two -Drop your name in a hat! Names are drawn in pairs and each pair will make their own plans to get together. Outings may involve a lunch, a walk in the park or even a visit to a museum. It's a time to get to know new friends on a one on one bases! This opportunity happens each time we have a monthly meeting.
