The
activities listed here and on the webpage newsletter
are here for YOU!
The members in the following groups are always
looking for new participants.
All activities are open to all
members. These activities are a great
way to learn a new game (bridge or bunko), a
new skill (sewing, Spanish), make new friends, discuss great books, or
find new places around Mexico City.
Baby Blankets: The first Monday of each
month we make simple baby blankets for young mothers at the Hospital
General de Tlalnepantla. You do NOT need to know how to sew.
Book Discussion Group: Do
you love to read and talk about literature? Join our Book Discussion Group! We meet the second Thursday
of each month at 11am in different people’s
houses.
Bunko: Join us at 9.30am
for breakfast and 10am to noon to play. Please join us for a potluck breakfast
and a fun and easy dice game. We welcome new players. We
will teach you how to play. Bunko is an easy way to make friends!
Duplicate Bridge: We extend a cordial invitation
to duplicate bridge at Union Church on Mondays from 10am to 2pm.
English Conversation Group: Tuesdays
from 11am to 12.30pm. Anyone wanting to enjoy the company
of interesting people and improve their English-speaking skills is welcome.
Hogar Dulce Hogar: We have volunteer opportunities working
and/or playing with the children living in the home (i.e. helping with homework,
reading and teaching English).
International Dinning: It is a fun way to
meet Newcomer’s members and their spouses while enjoying cuisines
from around the world. About one Saturday evening per month interested
members host a dinner or bring a dish, wine or other beverage to
share. International Dining provides menus and recipes in advance.
Mahjong: Do you enjoy getting together
with other ladies? Join us on Fridays for Mahjong. We play in different
houses usually from 12pm
to 5pm.
Morning Coffee: The monthly coffee is hosted
as a members home and it is a great way to get acclimated to life
in Mexico. Of course the delicious coffee and yummy treats are also
crowd pleasers.
Out to Lunch Bunch: We meet
once a month at different interesting restaurants. This is a great
way to get to know other members and try new places. The group meets
at the restaurant and everyone pays for their own meal.
Playgroups: Groups meet in members’ homes
on a regular basis to provide children with friends and give them
the opportunity to learn and play. All
of the playgroups are run privately by volunteers, in
different geographic areas for children of all ages.
San Fernando Luncheon: With
Ora Hernandez we prepare and serve a hot meal and a piece of birthday
cake for the elderly of the community of San Fernando, near Interlomas,
every third Monday of the month. This activity normally lasts
from 11am to 3pm. Please note: You do NOT need to
know how to cook.
Scrapbooking Workshop: Join a scrapbooking
workshop, a fun way to keep your memories while meeting new people! Create
photo albums, mini albums and photo frames with embellishments, memorabilia,
embossed designs, ribbons, stickers and much more in a photo-safe
environment. We meet 10am to 12pm on Wednesdays.
Spanish Conversation Group: ¡Hola! Practice
your Spanish in a relaxed atmosphere and at the same time socialize
with other members of the club. We are divided into subgroups,
so you can be with other students that are at your same level. The
cost is $50 pesos. It will take place every Thursday from 10.30am to 12pm at the Newcomers Club Office at Union Church (Reforma
1870 Office #205). Please bring your notebook and bilingual dictionary.
Special Events: The opportunity to buy
tickets for special events that are organized throughout the year for adults
and families. The Easter Picnic and Halloween Party are always popular
with kids while our annual black tie event and dinners provide entertainment
for you and your spouse.
Tours: Sign up sheets for organized tours,
led by a member or a professional guide to locations in the DF, the surrounding
area and beyond. Destinations have included most of the museums of the city, local
artesania shops and factories, archaeological sites, Cuernavaca, Puebla, Guadalajara,
Copper Canyon, Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas, to name a few.
