More about our monthly meetings and the club
The Newcomers Club of New Bern is open to all individuals in their first year living in the New Bern Area. The Club operates under the premise of a three-year membership. This prevents the Club from becoming "closed" because of size.
The Newcomers Club of New Bern meets at 7 p.m., at the Harrison Center, 311 Middle Street, in historic downtown New Bern, on the second Thursday of the month except in July, August and December.
Doors typically open at 6:15 p.m. so members and visitors can have extra time to socialize and visit activity tables before the program commences.
The presentation will begin at 7:00 p.m. The club’s monthly meetings usually last about an hour and a half, wrapping up at about 8:30 p.m.
While street parking in most of downtown New Bern is limited to two hours at a time until 5 p.m. if you arrive in the area after 3 p.m., you can park as long as you like and take advantage of the numerous shops and places to eat conveniently located near the Harrison Center before attending the club meeting.
Monthly club meetings offer a variety of guest speakers who present information about our community.
Just in the last two years, featured speakers have included : the CEO of our local hospital, the director of our local airport, New Bern's police and fire chiefs, a historian from Tryon Palace, the executive director of the airport in New Bern, representatives from our local animal rescue and from other nonprofit organizations who offer volunteer opportunities.
Meetings also include time to get acquainted with fellow newcomers and to learn about the many social activity groups the club has to offer.
