Hello and Welcome!

​​​​

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Newcomers/Longtimers Club website.

​

Whether you are new to the Lake area or have called it home for years, our club is built on connection, friendship, and the joy of spending time together. We hope you will take a few moments to explore all that we have to offer.

​

From social gatherings and special events to book clubs, Bunco, Pickleball, and more, there truly is something for everyone. You can be as involved as you wish—jump in and stay busy, or simply enjoy a few favorite activities and the friendships that come with them.

​

As we continue celebrating our 60th Diamond Anniversary, I’ve chosen a crown with diamonds as this year’s symbol, inspired by the saying:

​

“Be the woman who straightens another woman’s crown without anyone knowing.”

​

My theme this year is:

“Straighten each other’s crowns, shine brightly, and leading with grace.”

​

These words reflect the spirit of our club. We value encouragement, kindness, understanding, and allowing each member to contribute in her own unique way.

​

In addition to our social activities, we are proud of our commitment to the community through support of our Lake-area Charities of the Month and scholarship programs. Giving back is an important part of who we are.

Please explore the website to learn more about our activities, leadership, and opportunities to get involved. If you have questions, we encourage you to reach out to a chairperson or Executive Board member—we are always happy to help.

​

We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate friendship, service, and spirit of community together.

I look forward to meeting you and seeing you at an upcoming event.

​

Warmly,

​

Holley Smothers

President Newcomers/Longtimers Club
