Get Out
Make New Friends
Have Fun!

If you’re looking for an opportunity to get out of the house, make new friends, and participate in exciting activities, then look no further. New Friends of Carolina (NFC) is what you’ve been looking for. Founded in 1989 as a not-for-profit social club for women, NFC welcomes both new comers to the Carolinas as well as those who have lived here for years.

There’s no need for concern about pressure. You’ll find the members of our club to be both friendly and welcoming. They simply want you to join in the activities and have some fun. There’s something for everyone. For a complete list of activities, see INTEREST GROUPS below.

President's Message

The President's Message

The Charlotte region is growing by 117 new people every day, according to the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance. This was personified by one of our lovely guests at the September Welcome Coffee. She arrived only two weeks ago. She is now an NFC member after finding us online and attending the Welcome Coffee.

New Friends provides a small community where friendships grow. The Welcome Coffees launch our new members, but also of most importance each month is the membership luncheon which brings a large swath of our community together due to its larger capacity. The president makes important announcements, interest group chairs share news of upcoming events, and items are brought to a vote from time to time as all members present and in good standing form a quorum and are eligible to vote. The luncheons are our town square where you will meet old and new friends and welcome the new members, a place we can continue to bond and thrive in together. October provides a unique opportunity as you will read in the newsletter to join as a community at a very reasonable cost and have a barrel of fun playing BINGO.

Hope to see many of you in our town square on October 24!

Debbie Williams, President
New Friends of Carolina
