years after which time you are encouraged to move on to one of the “After
Newcomers” organizations on the Island. Members joining between
September and February count as a full year of membership. Members joining
between March and May shall begin the three year membership term the
following September. These members will pay half membership dues for the
partial year. Guest(s) of members are welcome to any Club function provided
there is space available following the sign-up of all members who wish to
participate. Members are encouraged to limit the number of times a local
resident is invited to attend as a guest to no more than two times in a club
year. You may complete a Membership Application and pay the annual dues
of $25/person online using the link found on our Homepage or you may
download an Application there and mail it in with your check. Any questions,
please use the Contact link on the Home page or call Kate Simprini at 434-
1446, Membership Chairman.
Adopt-a-Highway
The Adopt-A-Highway Group meets monthly on a Saturday morning for
breakfast at McDonald’s and then spends a couple of hours cleaning up the
roads around the St. Simons Island Gateway project. Everyone is welcome as
we provide this service to help keep our island beautiful. Carrel Grantham,
Chairman
Book Club (Day and Evening)
The book club groups meet monthly to discuss contemporary fiction and non-
fiction. The Day group meets the first Tuesday of each month at 3 pm. The
evening group meets the first Monday of each month at 7 pm. Deanna Clark
(Day) and Mary Askew (Evening), Chairmen
Dining In
Dining In is one of the most enjoyable ways of meeting other Newcomers.
Each participating individual or couple hosts one or two dinners at their home
during the year for about 8 people. In the months you are not hosting, you will
enjoy being guests at the homes of others. The hosts provide a main course and
the drinks along with a theme if desired, and the guests bring appetizer, side
dishes or desserts as assigned by the host. David and Leah Curtis, Chairman
Dining Out
A great way to meet new people, sample different types of food and not worry
about doing the dishes is to participate in Dining Out. Each Newcomer (single
or couple) is assigned to a different group of about 8 people each month. A
designated host plans the group’s Dining Out event with date, choice of
restaurant and type of meal. The host may invite the group to their home for
light refreshments before going to a restaurant to provide an opportunity to get
to know each other better. Meals at the restaurant are “Dutch Treat”. Sandy
Anderson, Chairman
Golf (Men and Ladies)
One of the Island Newcomers most popular activities is the monthly golf
group. Many of us were lured to the Golden Isles and Coastal Georgia by the
excellent golf options, along with the very favorable weather for the sport.
Island Newcomers golf is open to all golfers, regardless of the caliber of their
game. Linda Olsen (Ladies) Gerry Smith (Men’s), Chairmen
Great Decisions
Great Decisions uses a briefing book, an introductory video each week and
other materials, such as the Great Decisions Online e-newsletter for further
study of a topic. The group meets for 8 sessions in early winter (Jan. - Mar.)
Glen Clark, Chairman
Island Adventures
St. Simons Island and the environs have many interesting activities to offer
members. Current activities are posted on the Web site. You may call the
chairmen personally with questions. Ann Grantham and Dee James.
Singles and Independents
This group has a full year planned! Events include attending the Casino
Theatre, Wednesday matinees at the Island Cinema, college football games,
morning beach walks, the Still’s Wine Tasting and sunset gatherings. If you
feel like dancing and listening to oldies, meet the group at The Village Pub on
Thursday evenings for refreshments at 9 pm. If you feel like exercising, join
the singles along with the Golden Isles Track Club on Thursday at 6:45 pm in
front of Brogan’s in the Village. Monique Cothern and Donna Mc Cullough,
Chairmen
