A letter from the President of the Newcomers Club  of Mexico City

Welcome to the Newcomers’ Club of Mexico City. The Club is celebrating 30 years of helping people like you meet other families and friends. We invite you to make the most of your stay in Mexico. The experience can be very rewarding as you adjust to the culture, language and people. By getting involved in the many events and activities that Newcomers’ Club offers, you can often facilitate you and your family’s transition to Mexico.

For new arrivals, we offer Welcome & Orientation talks at our monthly general meetings. Members share advice on paying bills, hiring household help, finding a school/doctor/grocery store etc. Newcomers’ also offers three publications, compiled and published by our members, which provide useful information on settling, living and traveling in Mexico.

We hold general meetings the second Friday of each month for all members. Examples of meeting themes include: health and fitness, shopping meetings, art and fashion shows, travel and book fairs. With more than 300 members hailing from over 30 countries, your network of friends will soon grow.

Our general meetings also provide you with the opportunity to sign up for some of the many activities and events supported by the Club:

Tours - The Tours Committee organizes tours to a variety of sites in and around Mexico City including museums, archaeological sites, markets, as well as overnight trips.

Activities - There are weekly or monthly activities that may appeal to your particular interests or hobbies such as play groups, book clubs, Bunko, bridge, lunch groups, etc.
Special Events - We organize several events throughout the year such as Cocktails Parties, Wine Tasting, Posh Brunches, an Easter Brunch & Egg Hunt, a St. Patrick’s Day Party, a Halloween Party, and a Christmas Party.

To keep you informed of Club news, we publish a monthly newsletter, a weekly email bulletin and maintain a very informative website (www.newcomers.org.mx).

The Club is managed on a purely volunteer basis; members give their time, skills and talents to help ensure the success of the Club. We are always open to new ideas and would really appreciate your help. If you would like to get involved in the Club, please let me know.

I look forward to meeting you and, should you have any questions about Mexico City or the Club, do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Christi Smith
President, Newcomers’
Club of Mexico City
