Newcomer Communications:

• All of our communications are done via email and our website. Therefore, it is important for us to have your email address and that you check your emails from us. We do not share your email address outside of this organization.

Our Website:

Once you’ve joined you’ll have full access to our website and will be able to access (among many other things):

• Our monthly Newsletter. The newsletter lists all of our activities for the following month as well as information on where the activity will be held and who to contact to sign-up to attend.
• Our current scheduled Special Events. The website will give a full description of the Event and the cost to attend. You register and pay for Events on our website.
• Our on-line Directory: Each member is listed in our Directory. The Directory is used for members to stay in touch with each other. You can see detailed information about each member when you click on the member’s name or picture. You can also search the Directory for people for more specialized information such as: 1) Other members who moved from the same state you did; 2) Other members who live in the same neighborhood you do (a helpful tool for carpooling).

Philanthropy:

• Each year, our Club chooses a charitable cause to support.  This year we are supporting Senior Action, a private, non-profit organization established to serve the needs of seniors and their families in Greenville County.  For the past two years we supported the Ronald McDonald House.

Getting Involved:

• Remember that all of us are new to the Greenville area and have joined this organization in order to make friendships and learn more about Greenville. To take full advantage of your membership, we encourage you to explore different activities and events in our group. There really is something for everyone, but you won’t find your niche until you try some of them out for size!
