Welcome to New Bern and the Wine Social Group!
October 23 , 2025 Wine Social is our next Wine Social!
Host/Hostess-Â Brian and Bonnie Carrier
Where- Fairfield Harbour Community Center
When-Wednesday Oct. 23, 6-8 PM
You must make a reservation and then be confirmed as spaces are limited!!!!
How the Wine Socials work:
Remember to bring wine and a dish with appropriate serving utensils to share (appetizer or dessert) with your fellow Newcomer Members. Please recognize the hosts can only hold a limited number of guests, so be sure to RSVP to reserve your space. Once the RSVP cap is met, we will maintain a Wait List. This event is getting larger and larger each month so to meet the demand, we are prepared to
have a 2nd event to accommodate the interest in this activity, but without
another host home, we will not be able to achieve this. Please consider
being a host home, were happy to give you more details, see our contact
information below. Hosting is easy - just provide an indoor/outdoor space
and the host determines the number of guests, the wine social runs from 6-8
pm. The host provides paper products/cutlery, the club provides wine
glasses. This venue o&ers members time to mingle and socialize while
enjoying wine and dining on tasty treats. We would like to see our host
accommodate a minimum of 30 people and a max of 40. Currently we have a
few members who have already volunteered Hooray! Our goal is to line up all
the host homes for the season which runs from September – June.
To attend: interested members will be emailed details of a scheduled activity
a week or two in advance. Follow the directions in the email for RSVP
requirements.
Again, we look forward to food, friends, conversation and of course wine!
Cheers,
Judy and Barbara

Thank You Wine Social  activity leaders!
Hosting is easy - just provide an indoor/outdoor space and the host determines the number of guests allowed, the date, and the timeframe. Guests bring their own beverage of choice (usually wine), along with an appetizer/dessert to share with the group, and the club provides the glassware.  This venue offers the members an excellent opportunity to mingle and socialize while enjoying wine and dining on some tasty treats.
Please respond to us and let us know what month you would prefer (along with a backup month). We will then connect directly with you to narrow in on the finer logistics: specific date, time, etc. The sooner we hear back, the quicker we can start to line up our calendar of events.
To Attend:  Interested members will be emailed details of a scheduled activity a week or two in advance.  Follow the directions in the email for RSVP requirements. If your plans change after indicating you will attend, please email the activity leader and/or the host to inform them you will not attend. To be added to the group's email list, sign up at a general meeting or email the group leader.
The Wine Social is open to all members of the Newcomers Club of New Bern.
