Our "Friday with Friends" gatherings are normally held at the YWCA from September through June. We meet on the second Friday of each month, 11:45 a.m. until 2 p.m. The meeting agenda includes welcoming new members, providing an overview and sign-up for monthly activities, and a guest speaker. A light lunch is available for a nominal charge. Babes in arms are welcome at the Friday with Friends. Social Coffees are held on the third Thursday of every month from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. in a more relaxed atmosphere—at the YWCA’s Bramwell House Living Room.

In addition to our monthly meetings, more than 25 interest groups meet throughout the year. Here is a sampling of the types of groups in which you can become involved: Princeton History, Canal Gals, Hiking, Couples Dining Out, Co-ed Dinner in, Artsy Fartsy, Cooking Together, Card Making, Bridge, Book Group, Golf, Tennis, Coffee and Kids, Babysitting Coop, Movies, Scrapbooking, Meditation, International Insights, ESL Conversations and Walks in the Woods. For a complete listing and description of current interest group activities, go to the Interest Groups page of our website.

Our monthly newsletter is the primary source of club information. It contains the dates, times, and locations of meetings and all of the upcoming monthly activities of the interest groups. You can pick up a copy of the newsletter at the Friday with Friends or Social Coffee. You can also contact the Membership VPs to receive one by mail or go to our Membership page and print out a membership registration form.

Our main concern is YOU! Helping you feel at home in your new surroundings is our goal. Whether you have just moved to town or are a long-time resident looking for exciting, new activities, the Newcomers Club is for you! Currently, the Newcomers Club consists of over 150 members from all over the world who have moved to the towns and townships in and around Princeton, including Allentown, Cranbury, Hillsborough, Hopewell, Lawrenceville, Monroe, Montgomery, Pennington, Plainsboro, Princeton, and West Windsor. Why not join us?

We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming Newcomers event!
