March 2014, Letter from the Co-PresidentsJon and Mickey Miller
Happy Mardis Gras and Happy St Patricks Day to all! And yes, there are celebrations planned for both days going on in New Bern!
So far, www.newbernnow.org shows over 25 events scheduled this month including the always popular ArtWalk/ARTcrawl on Friday the 14th. If you have always wondered about the many restaurants in our area but haven't been able to get to many yet, a great way to sample food from over thirty ofthem in one evening is to attend the annual 'Taste of Coastal Carolina' heldat the Convention Center on the 11th. This is always a sellout event!
Our Newcomers Club activity groups are planning more and more events as the weather improves, so keep checking our website www.newbernnewcomers.org in addition to the activities listed in this newsletter. The big (and last!) event of the year we have planned for you is our Aloha Spring Social planned for Thursday May 15th. Mary Lou Snyder, our Social Director, has a "lei'd back" evening lined up with great food, music, and door prizes arranged for your entertainment. Limber up your limbo and look for her flyer for details.
Please mark your calendars for the next general membership meeting Wednesday, March 12th at 7:00 pm at the Christ Church Ministry Center (311 Middle St). We would ask that those whose last name begins with R through V please bring a snack to share. See you there!

We hope to have a good mix of boating activities, a couple of over night land cruises as well as a number of interesting day trips to visit area attractions tied in with some visits to area restaurants. In addition to these activities we are going to try and schedule a couple educational talks dealing with boating in local waters and other boating topics of interest

The goal is to have fun and meet new people. Bunco is a simple, no skill, dice game. You sit at a table of four with a partner across from you; then the partners rotate as the game continues. So this game is a great way to meet people in a small group. If you can toss three dice and recognize the numbers on the dice, then you can play this game! Each month we have 12 or 16 participants. Each time you participate, the cost is $5.00 per person with all money paid out as prizes at the end of that evening (please bring correct change). Host will provide dessert. Other participants please bring an appetizer for approx 8-10 people to be shared PLUS beverage of your choice that you would like to personally drink that evening. Participants will be notified by e-mail of the location prior to the event. Activity is held the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Advance sign-up is re-quired and is offered at the monthly New Bern Newcomer meeting. If space is still available after the meeting sign-up, then an email is sent to members who have expressed interest in Bunco.
Scheduled Times:
Wednesday, March 19th at 7:00 pmWednesday, April 16th at 7:00 pmWednesday, May 21st at 7:00 pm

Day Trips Gone By
February 27th, Foscue Plantation near Pollocksvile, NC
You can see from the picture that theweather was just perfect for a historicaltour. The plantation house was built in1824 by Simon Foscue, Jr., on the landthat his father first settled, the brickplantation house is, in fact, the seconddwelling built on the property. TheFoscue Plantation is touted as one ofthe "best documented plantations inCoastal North Carolina.". The weatherwas excellent, and the tour was veryinteresting. Unlike other historical site tours, we were able to walk through the rooms and get very close to the artifacts in the house.

November 21st , Spice Bouquet in Kinston, NC
We had a wonderful time at the SpiceBouquet in Kinston. We attended acooking class narrated by our chef Frank.He told us all about their history and howtheir spices came about. We were treatedto an outstanding presentation of how tocook with their spices-which included ourmenu of Greek Salad, Athenian Chicken,triple roasted potatoes and vegetablemedley-topping off with Cannoli Cake.
The food was excellent and a good timewas had by all.

Sharing a meal together is one of the best ways to get to know folks. The dining in group is a great opportunity to meet different newcomers each month. While visiting in homes during the winter and spring months, 8 newcomers – singles or couples - share experiences and enjoy a delicious meal to which we all contribute a dish. Once everyone who wants to participate signs up we will organize the list so that the groups rotate and are new each month. You are the host only once during the year – you decide the main dish and the others bring wine, an appetizer, salad and a dessert! And what a great way to share your favorite recipes and try new dishes!
We have six active groups of eight enjoying Dining In each month but we really need some newcomers to indicate that they would be willing to be alternates for March and April. Just let us know if you would like to fill in sometime when someone has to miss. When called, You would just have to take a dish and enjoy a dinner with other newcomers.
Please contact us for more information or inquire at the monthly meeting.

This restaurant is located in a historichome offering and offers "a taste of theold south". It is located at 400 BridgesStreet in Morehead City. The group wasrepresented by a fairly large number ofclub members. As the pictures in the album show we occupied two rooms andabout seven tables. The food wasexcellent and a good time was had by all.

Thursday, November 14th - Yoder's Dutch Pantry in Grifton, NC
Yoder's Dutch Pantry near Grifton, NC. I said near because this place is really in the country about half way between Grifton andVanceboro. It is a real country store. As promised the BRUNCH food was terrific and made for great eating, but the associated store was even more interesting. You can buy almost everything you might imagine from there, as long as it isn't high tech electronics! A parrot in the store stole the show.
You can view the entire set of pictures taken, including the parrot in the country store stealing the show, by clicking on album.
Friday, October 11th – Front Street Grill
Our Second Dining Out for this season,was at The Front Street Grill in Beaufort;we had a most enjoyable time. We hadgood food with attentive service and wesavored the relaxed coastal atmospherewhich provided the perfect setting forgetting to share and visit with oneanother.
Wednesday September 25th – Morgan'sTavern & Grill
Our First Dining Out for this season was at Morgan's Tavern & Grill. They advertise"great service with a casual andcomfortable atmosphere" which couldn'thave summed it up any better. We hadattentive wait staff and enjoyed deliciousmeals with 26 New Comer's present(both singles & couples). This gave us all the opportunity to get to know one another better & to ask: "So what brought you to New Bern"???. We hope others will come out & join us in the future.
Newcomers / Alumni Golf is based on the premise that the game should be fun. Making friends is paramount; proficiency is immaterial. We welcome all skilllevels. Rules are what each player wants them to be. Some players adhere to the stricter rules of the USGA, while others follow the lax GW rules -- count everystroke that you like. If you don’t like it, don’t count it; or finally, don’t count anything and pick up your ball any time you wish!
We schedule a golf outing once a month, normally on a Wednesday or Thursday,and play 12 months of the year. We travel to courses in the New Bern area and try to keep within a one-hour drive. We also arrange carpooling for the out-of-New Bern trips. If this sounds like something you would enjoy, come join us. Youwill have a good time!
Scheduled Events:
Thursday, March 13th the Newcomers / Alumni golf Outing will be held at the in Cherry Point MCCS. We have 5 tee times starting at 10:00 am. Cost is $36.00 which includes lunch.
Thanks to Jon Miller for setting this up for us.
As this is a military post, we have security procedures in order to get on the post.Jon Miller and Mark Leonard have base stickers on their cars and they can get onto the post. They can take 3 other members with them and sign them in at the entrance. If anyone else has a post sticker and can car pool, please let me know. If players are in the same car as an ID card holder with a base sticker on the car then they just need to have a photo ID (like a license ) and go right through the gate. If players are in a car without a base sticker they need to stop at the front gate pass building, have an ID card holder sign them in and they get a temporary car pass.
EVERYONE NEEDS A PHOTO ID. EVERYONE NEEDS TO MEET AT THE PARKING LOT
BEHND THE BELK DEPARTMENT STORE AT 8:45 AM.
We will be able to see how many we have and how many base sticker cars we have and how many will need to stop and get checked in. This will help to get everyone onto the post efficiently. We will leave the parking lot promptly at 9:00 am.
Please send me an email or call Bob Freeland's cell phone (330)327-0111 to let me know if you are planning to attend.

Past Golf Events:
Golf at the Emerald, November 14th
It was a beautiful sunny daywith almost no wind
Throughout the September – May season, we try to choose outdoor activities that are appealing to everyone. The adventures are not competitive in nature. The adventures have included: kayaking/canoing, hiking, kite flying, bicycle riding, and boat rides. We either bring our lunch or stop by a nearby restaurant.
We don’t have participants sign up unless it is an activity that must be more stringent in head count. Our slogan is “No sign-up, just show up at the event,”and rain-out is constituted by already raining or bad outlook during the time of theadventure.
Outdoor Adventures Reviews
New Bern Battlefield Outdoor Adventures, October 19th
Everyone had a good time. The following are some pictures from the day.
SHACKLEFORD BANKS Outdoor Adventures, September 21st
The ferry dropped us off at the verywestern end of the island by theBeaufort Inlet. The weather wasperfect with some clouds to keep thebeach cool. The whole group (theearly group left at 10:00, but therewere some stragglers that came at11:00) convened on the beach not farfrom where the ferry dropped us off.The real adventurers trekked acrossthe island and caught excellent viewsof the wild horses. Check out the photo album on our web site. Others,like myself stuck to the sandy shores and looked for shells. Many found conks and other sea shells which turned out to make a fun day.

Wine Socials in the past:
January 25th at Niles and Barbara Compton's house near Pollocksville
The first of this new year's festivitieswas a terrific party with someunplanned excitement. They livenear Pollocksville right next to theTrent river. It is a beautiful out of theway location. When we arrived,Niles was outside in the frigid colddirecting us into their driveway. Hewas acting as the highway mangreeter. As indicated in the picturebelow we quickly started breakingout the wine and appetizers combined with some great conversations. We did have an exciting moment at the end of the party when one of our members had what we believe to be an allergicreaction to something and collapsed to the floor. All of us were very concerned, and we ended up calling the ambulance. The member was transported to the hospital and most of the steam went out of theparty after the EMR crew left. It will be a memorable wine social for some time. We were happy to report that the doctors found him to be fine and it was some type of allergic reaction.
