Do I have to live in Randolph, New Jersey to be a
member?
|
No, you can live anywhere. However, most of the
activities take place in and around Randolph.
|
Can I try an Interest Group activity before I join?
|
Yes, but if you decide you'd like to continue
participating in the interest group activities, you must become a member. You
can
find out more about our activities by checking out the monthly schedule online, requesting a
newsletter via email,
or
by
directing questions to any board member.
|
Do I have to be available to attend the Interest
Groups every month?
|
Most of the Interest Groups are pretty flexible as far
as attendance goes. They are happy to see you whenever your schedule
allows. However, some of these groups do request an RSVP. Please check
the newsletter to see whether a RSVP is requested. Bunco is the only exception. If
you are absent from Bunco, you have to find a substitute from a list of
alternate players which is provided. This is because a set number
of players is required.
|
Which club activities can I do with my young
children?
|
You can bring children to Baby
Club, Playgroups, Mommy and Me activities, Babysitting Co-op, and any daytime Book Club meeting (evening meetings are
for adults only, however).
|
I work during the week. Which club activities
take place during the evening or weekend?
|
You can attend the Social
Program, which has a different theme each month. Book Club meets every other month in the
evening. There is an evening Bunco
group, which you could volunteer to sub for or you could sign up to
start another group. Dinner Club,
Ladies' Night Out,
and
Men's Poker,
all meet in
the evenings or weekends. Or you could start a new Interest Group!
|
Is this a club for women only?
|
Not at all - your membership includes activities
suitable for the whole family! Read all about our Interest Groups to find out how varied the
offerings are. And we always welcome ideas for new Interest
Groups - if you have a suggestion, just contact us!
|
I have some ideas for a new Interest Group.
What can I do?
|
Contact
a
board
member and get started. The only requirement is to do
something fun and write about your plan in the monthly
newsletter. The possibilities are endless...
|
Where does my $35 membership fee go?
|
The
membership
fees
fund the club for things such as the monthly
newsletter, the
membership directory, the Monthly Social Programs, the Summer Barbeque,
the website, etc.
|
How often is the newsletter published and the
website updated?
|
The newsletter is published monthly
from September till June and sent out to all members just before the
first of the month. If you are a club member and have not
received your newsletter, please
contact the Newsletter Editor immediately.
Much of the website is updated monthly as well, but not all of the
pages. Unlike the newsletter, it does not contain contact
information like home addresses, phone numbers, etc. other than the
club email address.
|
When does the club calendar year start and end?
|
The activities start up in September and run through
June. There are a few things during the summer that Newcomers'
typically participates in, like the Fourth of July Parade and
Randolph's Night Out, but there are no formal meetings during the
summer and no newsletter printed in July and August.
|
Is there a limit as to how long I can remain a member?
|
No, not anymore. When we used to be the Welcome
Wagon, there were restrictions as to how long someone could be a
member. However, now as the Newcomers' and Neighbors' Club, there
are no such rules. You can remain a member as long as you like.
